Canuck and I can't wait. Need to thaw out. :-:

No worries - he'll be at a Hyatt anyway.

Nope, at my vacation condo. Hyatt only comes into play when they throw an obscene number of points/restaurant credit to guests. Hyatt is also used when temp reaches 120. Rates are surprisingly cheap then... :rolleyes:

Yeah, that would pretty much be my limit as well. There's only so much SPF 75 I'm willing to put on.:p

From the world of sport, I prefer this one.

I just got offered to Buy Up to F for my flight on Wed. for 15,000 miles or $100.

I wonder how they calculated that $100 as I'm already on a B fare. And yes, it does rather toast my muffin that they're offering to sell folks the last seat when I'm on an insta-upgrade fare that they won't let me upgrade.

Spending some Andrew Jacksons (the coins, not the $20s)?

I wouldn't want another shoulder surgery ;)

Much better selection at Epcot. ^

Who knew? I thought only Epcot did.

I can say with certainty that all 4 parks do.

Can one reasonably carry the amount of dollar coins that would cover a Boxer's drink tab in a day?;)

Not I!!!

I've done the "eating around the world" thing there once. I think we hit 7 countries before we ran out of cash and time.

I've done the drinking around the world every time I've gone; never bothered with the food (though we had the princess dinner at Epcot last night).

If the 9630 is the Tour then absolutely yes. If you can handle the wait the Tour 2 is supposedly due in a couple months but who knows if that is for real. The Nexus One also just shipped to VZW. I can't see why you'd be tied to BB so that might be worth considering. Then again, not a world phone if that matters to you.

My upgrade doesn't become available until August. I'm starting to poke around and seeing what's out there, so Tour 2 should be an option for me. I just took a look at Nexus One, and I'm not a fan of touchscreens. It's not that I'm tied to BB, but I would rather stay with it just because BBM is lightyears better than texting. For some reason, Connection is unhappy with her 8330 and I would like to keep her in the RIM device family.

Although I've only used my phone in three countries, I do appreciate the world phone capability.

I've used voice in Holland and data-only in Germany, and the billing headaches from the voice usage were not worth it to me.

An amazing first... An IAH-AUS flight that didn't have gate lice! What is this world coming to??

G'night, Box. Drugs are kicking in.

Beez Kneez Honey Ale is also tasty. Had three of 'em before I remembered I've got a rental car waiting at the end of the next flight. Was getting strange looks for drink orders, and wondered why... then remembered it's 09:00am on a Tuesday here. :D

Aerosur or Aerogal. :-:

Good Evening from Chicago.

Had dinner at Glenn's Diner, which was featured on Diners, Dives and Drive Ins (or something like that, it's the only show I've ever seen on Food Network). I had the Cioppino, which was outstanding.
