At around this same point in the semester, I had a student once who asked about this 'activity guide' that I always seem to be referring to in class....he thought he might get one too as we seem to use it a lot. It was listed among the required course materials. Never a dull moment

At the FI and they upgraded both of our rooms (including a free room w/ cert).

On the way into town, BL JR said "Can we just go to the hotel and order room service?" :rolleyes: I said "we're at a hotel that doesn't have room service". After a very nice dinner (M's pub remains consistantly amazing in OMA), we arive at FI, BL JR checking in with me. When the mgr on duty said that both rooms had been upgraded to a suite she proclaimed "thank goodness it's a suite". I think she needs a motel 6/super 8 run. :rolleyes:

Yes, so I've been told :eek::rolleyes:

Sparkling sangrias were the hit of my mom's party. I must say, I made an excellent batch. I am a great mixologist ;)

Almost time to board my SAT-HOU flight. Thirteen segments, 30,648 mi., eleven new lines, six new dots, two new carriers, and a new equipment type. It's been a very good week. :D

Thanks! We're excited by this opportunity. The biggest issue will be our condo in Atlanta, which we'll probably end up renting for at least a year. Fortunately we bought this place at such a good price two years ago, before the bottom really fell out of housing prices, that we wouldn't be selling at a loss. However, after talking with our realtor and looking at what similar units in this building are selling for, it looks like not trying to sell for another 12-18 months, and renting it out in the meantime, would probably be a better deal in the long run.

In other news, does anyone know how people are receiving their free Hilton night for the stay 4 promo? Is it hidden somewhere on Hilton's wonderful and highly functional website (:rolleyes:), is it emailed, or what's the deal?

Thanks. :-:

It comes by e-mail. I've had them arrive anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks after the fourth qualifying stay posted to my Hilton HHonors account.

You have a good excuse, considering the :eek: your partner suffered. I stayed up very late on Saturday night trying out Belgian Ales at the 4P LAX with itsaboutthejourney, then took my 6am to Vegas/Laredo, then stayed up until 11 last night in San Antonio, before my 5am alarm to wake up for SAT-HOU. All self-inflicted.

UA's rules are that they give a couple of drink coupons to passengers who obtain lounge admittance as a result of flying UA on an international C or F ticket. Period. Yes, there is the occasional RCC front desk agent who will be nice and give you a couple, but there is nothing in CO's PC member agreement that promises a PC member free alcohol anywhere other than in CO's own clubs. In partner lounges the rules are set by the airline that owns that lounge. UA isn't going to do more for CO's lounge members than it does for its own.

B) I will have to find a way to increase my earning power, and on top of getting another degree, I really should take notes and document what I do here because I could probably either turn it into something for myself business-wise or turn it into something saleable.

I sent the email in regards to a UA agent telling me I would get the coupons but that it was not 10 or 12 am and that it was policy so that was the confusion. I guess it was the matter of fact tone that got me.
