FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Yeah, but not this year or next. I've been making extremely good headway against debt, and with getting married and talk of house shopping, hotel hopping isn't high on the list.

I recall my only hotel trip the year I got married was a $17/night stay at a dive on Lake George. Fortunately the X broke his arm that year at work so workman's comp paid for the trip to Bermuda the following year:D

I love the Bolivian Bowler photo. The whole flickr set is great.

I was surprised to see so many people in traditional garb. I'd say easily 40% of the women I saw were wearing such clothes.

I so want to go there, but I know I'd get ill from the altitude (unless I brought my own oxygen).

If I go back to the altiplano, I will be sure to make a much slower ascent (will have to budget a lot more time), and to pack altitude pills. Cusco was noticeably worse than Teotihuacan, and it's a good 2,500ft lower than El Alto.

They have microbrew beer and frequently have bands. There are two entrances and the other is either off Broad or Market and it's a short walk from the Hampton Inn.

Now that sounds intriguing! :)

I have the rest of this year, and the priority is keeping *G. Since we have switched to a honeymoon destination for which paying for air is a reasonable idea, I'm building miles for Asia or Eastern Europe in F.

Thank you. I think I spent the next 20 mins after that photo lying on the bed, flopping around a bit, and gasping for air. I was afraid that if there was a turndown service, they might mistake me for a merman and attempt to release me back into teh lake.

That's a good thing since an explosion in the mermaid population might upset the ecosystem:D

Does the wall in the back slide down when the seat gets converted to bed mode?

Good evening Box.

Good news: I got 5000 BA points for adding my dog as an authorized user to my CC account.

Bad news: Stupid #$%! Turbo Tax wouldn't let me E-file, so I had to mail it in. Yeah, I'm getting a refund... :rolleyes:

When Evo is onboard, they find a guy with a cutting torch to make it so.
