How much FUN would THAT be???

LOL!:D I actually like to do self-checkout -- it those lines are not ridiculous! It's especially useful at Costco's that offer that option!^

I managed to hobble my way from the parking shuttle to the A PClub. Fortunately, the gate isn't too far now...

Walking from E to the car rental facility at MSP should be a blast. :rolleyes:

:( I'm sorry; I know it sucks! :td:

Does the LFG work if the prices returned by Orbitz/Expedia include codeshares? What I mean is that the exact same flights that CO.com is offering are showing up on Orbitz but as UA codeshares for $150 cheaper.

The posters on WeatherUnderGeek that are usually pretty good in this area seem to be in general agreement that it will be quite the season. The water-temps off West Africa are considerably warmer than usual, and the pool of warm water already extends much further North along the African coast than is usual at this time of year. Mean barometric pressures across the Atlantic Basin are also lower than normal. Couple that with an El Nino predicted to disappear by June, and shear-conditions should be ripe for development.

Interesting. Those definitely sound like factors that could contribute to an active season in the Atlantic. The jetstream has been pushed pretty far south this winter (probably caused by the El Nino), so it will be interesting to see where that shifts to once the El Nino disappears. In many cases, that is the difference between a hurricane reaching the US or moving across the southern Caribbean.

I know next to nothing about weather. :D

As of yesterday, I didn't. I haven't looked at Plus1's or bl jr's accounts though.

Thanks! I really should have gone to the doctor earlier in the week. How:rolleyes: of me... If it still hurts when we get home on Sunday, I will definitely make an appointment for next week. At this point, I'm just hoping nothing is broken.

I haz no beef with Hyatt. It looks like a solid program. In fact, I would probably consider them if SPG weren't treating me well consistently.

Jumping on the double-stay thing at the start of this year was definitely the right thing to do.

I have Hyatt Diamond secured until 2/12. :D

Last year's stay-credit forwarding promo with SPG has me two stays away from SPG Plat through 02/12. :D
