Blue Bunny and/or Blue Bell? Blue Bell would be more prevalent here (although I've had both).

G'day box.

I'm still in shock that it's looking like I'll be in Y tomorrow. I think the odds have to be less than 5% that a Plat, traveling on a B fare, to FL, on a Sunday sits in the back. But, such is my :rolleyes:.

Not a big deal as I have the exit row and on EWR - FL flights I always get brekkie in advance. The only thing I'll miss out is the wider seat and free DirecTV.

Looking forward to the warmth once I get down there though. :-:

Blue Bunny. I hadn't heard of either until last night.

It is an unusually heavy travel day to FLL tomorrow for various reasons with paid F.

I'm noticing. I reckon it's the influx of spring breakers going on cruises / vacations. Who pays for F on this route is beyond me though.

Hope they enjoy their $1,000 croissant. (I'll enjoy my $900 bring on board Dunkin')

Who? People who have money that are going there for Passover.

Adding to the crush will be families with little ones since half of NJ Schools are offf this up coming week. I'm sure a couple of those parents will sit in F so they don't have to be near their kids in Y.

Good evening box. All is :rolleyes: in Brooklyn Heights.

Ooooffff. Maybe one of these days I will either a) be good at and/or b) enjoy running. This is my perennial, but so far futile, hope. :rolleyes:

I'd guess this is a semi-popular spring break week because it's Holy Week...? I don't know how many schools/colleges do that. That's how it was at LSU. I didn't care for it because not only did I then NEVER get more than 2 free days of break because I had a church job and was therefore practically living in the building from Wednesday night through Sunday noon, but also it was highly variable...going through the entire month of March and a week or two into April for a break could be pretty tough.

Couple of visitors outside my lanai today. Both came right up to my screen, then they made a hard left, and headed thru the apartment breezeway to the other side of the building like they owned the place.

Well half of the public schools are shut now and the other half next week. The reason for the week really has nothing to do with holly week directly. It was noticed decades ago that a high percentage of kids were sick the week after Easter so to keep everyone from spreading it around and messing things up with the school, they decided it was easier to close shop and call it a holiday.
