1A-LAX\PTY, 14F-PTY\MEX

I'm all checked in on the Copa flight but CO says INP for my 5:55p IAH-LAX flight :rolleyes:

Still haven't decided what to do in PTY-guess I should figure out something soon, as I'm on the flight tonight(3/5):eek:
Since I'll be with a box group on a trip in a couple weeks and we're planning a car, I'm thinking of just grabbing a room at either the IC-Miramar($60+20K pts)or the Holiday Inn($60+5K), this trip
Anyone have a preference\knowledge on the location of these?

Morning Box-so much catching up. Darn meetings take tooooooo much time away from the box

I got my Federal back last week. It was very, very, very nice.
And I didn't even claim the house on mine as I make too much for the full $8k. Teh Canuck is putting it on her return.

I didn't have too much in the way of deductions. Thankfully (or not, depending), I had $1,850 in short-term capital losses to drag down the final tax bill... otherwise, paying Uncle Sam would have been rather unpleasant this year.

Worth the surcharge?

that is so wrong it is not even funny :D

I know for a fact that Holiday inn is elsewhere but I can't get google maps to make a pin for me!

I am on bing maps now but it is total suckage for Panama!

That URL appears to have someone's home address in it - you might want to edit that if it is yours. ;)

Four Points is okay, but the rooms need a bit of an update.
I actually received a 500-Point Bonus from my stay at that Four Points, rather than 250. ^

Didn't realize you were staying in PTY overnight, just doing a turn in MEX?

The location is wrong or the fact I've plotted them? I do that for most foreign trips. MEX was pretty much a no-brainer, need SPG nights

Speaking of wrong
"the vessel was struck Wednesday by three "abnormally high" waves more than 33 feet (10 meters) high that broke glass windshields in the forward section."

Understatement of the year?
Full story, sad that 2 passengers perished

No just needing a day room in PTY, don't really want to hang out at the airport for 7ish hours, not sure I want to rent a car-traveling solo this trip, couldn't find Panama map for my GPS. Been in IAH all week for Sales meeting so have bigger suitcase and really just need to UNWIND
