Yes, now that the weather is decent I do believe it is time for a CLE cuisine event.

By cuisine, I take it you mean "Imperial Stout?" :)

I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of the intra-CA flights are SkyWest (aside from SFO-LAX, obviously).

I didn't leave N. America for the first time until I was 21. I then quickly began making up for lost time.

Perhaps adelauro could warn his sister that one of the possible side effects of repeated, consistent family vacations may be an insatiable travel addiction. They can still save his niece, before it's too late. :D

I was disproportionately lucky. Paris at 9, London at 15, and Athens/Istanbul at 20, with lots of CA/FL thrown in growing up. I'm not so much making up for lost time at destinations as I am making up for lost miles from all the non-rev travel that made the travel-heavy childhood possible.

I'm trying to decide if a premium of ~400 EQM is worth a CR7 and two new lines when the standard old boring IAH both ways is available at the same price point.

How big a :rolleyes: if you misconnect? They'll get you back home... eventually.

Being off on Tue/Wed, I was considering doing the SFO connection on the Tuesday AM outbound instead of the return. I can haz PHL-SFO-SNA-IAH-PHL and have a longer layover in SFO and a tighter connection to pick up the CO flight in SNA. The reason I bring up the days off is that if things go :rolleyes: or if a bump presents itself, I in theory have all day Wednesday to get home. I could also book myself 9 hours in SNA and take the CO redeye home SNA-EWR-PHL.

All of this talk about long roadtrips from CLE makes me happy that we never went any further by car than BOS or YUL.

If you have more than one Blackout Stout I may proactively call the police for your own safety. :D

My liver and sense of shame already have a restraining order in place enjoining such activity. :-:

In that case, just print out a list of possible alternatives, in the event you misconnect, and have fun playing airline/route roulette. ^

ETA - IME, it's when you actually have time to burn, on itineraries like these, that all your flights arrive early, and nothing is overbooked.

I have made arrangements for a hall pass to be issued for your admittance back in to Fahrenheit.

I think the only thing that can possibly save her is a RTW in F. :-:

My parents did their best to give us a wide range of opportunities across the states. Once we moved to CLE in the early 70s we took family trips all over the place, mostly ground-based. But, being born in SEA to a Dad who worked for Boeing and a Mom who worked for a regional airline, I got the bug PDQ. Said bug became an epidemic once I was a foreign exchange student in Helvetica during high school.

I can wear a disguise, if necessary. I'll put in a call to Ѽ (teh :rolleyes: version of Q) over at Rolle Yes HQ.

That sounds reasonable.
