Oh my gosh you worked hard! I'm only at 181K with 124 flights entered but still have many years to go. It's tedious to go through all these old charge card statements. My map would be even more interesting if I could add in the 10 cruises!

Not me -- I have been quite good ('NIA-licious') -- I try to get to 2-3 classes/week! Absolutely essential to my well-being!^

There also appears to be something called the "Diamond Lounge" in Terminal B for which one can purchase entry. I can't find any reference to it on the BRU website, though.

A 7 hour layover is enough time to go to Bruges if he is interested. It is close and a very fun town. Depends on how mobile he is at 70.

Hello Box.

I cannot believe how long it has taken me to catch up since being in PTY and MEX.

Came home from Box Weekend on Monday morning, arrived home at 5:30am, got the girls off to school, napped for a couple of hours, then took the train up to Hartford where I've been all week, working like a dog.

Had a fabbo time with the the Box crew in PTY-MEX. Everyone else seems to have given the lowdown on the happenings, but I will say welcome to our new boxer Robert, who was an absolutely wonderful person to be around for the weekend. He's an ideal Box person.

I have some good photos that need to be seen, but I think I will need to email them to Steph3n or Scott6067 so that they can put them on their sites for viewing ..... one especially good one of feet being where they shouldn't be....:D

Had a wicked week in Hartford for internet access. Took forever to load web pages. I gave up in the end. Was too busy with working anyway... but I did manage to snag two SMF-MEM trips.

Also managed to snag some fairly cheapish tix today to FL for spring break. Have to fly into JAX on last flight of the day and out at 6am on the return, but got the tix for $229 + tax, which is a darn site better than the $450+ they wanted for MCO or TPA.

or try ZFV-SAT, you can usually pick up a really good fare on that routing

"What happened?"
"Oh, I punched this African-American woman in the head."
"What on earth ~ why did you do that ?????"
"Well it wasn't my fault. Dad told me to find a Black & Decker."


That is laugh out loud funny. :D:D:D

Had a crazy busy work week up in Hartford. I got home last night around 10pm and was exhausted. Today I needed to catch up on lots of stuff and whizzed through a gazzillion pages of the box to catch up.

He is mobile to the point that he tires me out sometimes. :eek: The guy plays three games of tennis once a week and his daily driver is an '09 Camaro SS...in addition to the Z06 in his garage. I don't know that he would leave the airport; he might have his brother and daughter with him. I'll mention it to him in any case. I've never known him to turn down an experience to see something.

Wow!:eek: My, you must be quite the 'speed' reader to get through the 'gazillion' pages of the B:rolleyes:X!;):D

Thank you again for your efforts earlier today. ^^

I would prefer to get him into a shower-equipped lounge given the long layover, overnight flight from EWR, and the long flight to ABJ.

ETA: Said lounge seems to be shower-happy.

wow this ice cream I made is great, it is frozen strawberries, skim milk, truvia, and some orange juice, and a hint of vanilla:D

I bought myself one of these fancy pants mixer/blender things last month and put it to use.
