I suppose we would have to indicate that it was their trademark.

Will BD charge me a fuel surcharge if my TATL segments are on LH and AC? I'm finding conflicting answers in my searches in the BD forum.

Hello. I realize that I'm coming to the party a bit late. It appears that BMI DC is toast? Has someone confirmed this? Are there any particulars? If so, I take it is time to burn?

Reports in the BD forum are indicating that conversion to M&M is imminent. Burn by May 16th for Diamond Club rates and rules, or so the release by BD would have you believe. I never got on the BD bandwagon, but it was discussed here in the morning.

Night, Box. Back to the grind at 1430.

Thanks. I don't have a ton of miles... just enough to hurt if they become M&M ... still have a few thousand that I'm waiting to post from some CO flights last month. I have a very tough time getting my CO flights to post over there at DC :(

Haz not for me either

You need to check w/WR to make sure you are signed up for the BD promo!

Guess I need to check on that, based on later box news

FT Lurker
Rolov
ALCO
Windwalker
sbm12


and whoever else went on the last PTY-MEX trip.

I had tasked FTLurker with taking "Flat LittleMissBrit" along with him for a school project (those of you with 2nd graders will no doubt be familiar with "Flat Stanley").

FT Lurker had to (a) take care of Flat LittleMissBrit (b) ensure she was not overly exposed to rampant drunken hooligans aka ALCO, et al! :D:D:D and (c) take lots of photos in interesting places.

He did a magnificent job - and his photos, along with Rolovs, are now adorning a poster board and will be hanging in the school corridors tomorrow ready for OpenDay next week!

Yay! for FTLurker and his band of merry men in PTY-MEX.

Thanks, guys, for being such good sports!

sorry I was out of town,before due date, believe I may have a few more if would like-just for kicks

I vote for RDU

sdm or anyone else that has a Samsung LED. Did you hang it with the ultra slim wall mounts? We ordered a 46" today online and but were looking at them at Best Buy this morning. They sell the wall mounts for $250 and it seems I can get them on ebay for $45. Does BB really mark them up that much or do you think they are different things?

GPS Data Logger, I have this One.
I've also used GPSED.com with my BB with very good results-land, sea and air.
examples of recent Spring Break 8B trip; Day 1 Day 2
Believe they have an App for that too.

Top notch! ^^

I made it from wheels down at ORD to in my hotel room by MDW in 58 minutes. That's including the rental car shuttle and having to find my way around town. Not too shabby, IMO.

Off to sleep now. Alarm way too soon. :(

Many times- everyone who visited got taken there. The Minihaha, the Lac du Sacrement and the Ethan Allen(smaller boat) which capsized a few years ago and killed people..

I'm meeting with people from the UK today. Looks like they won't be rushing out at 2 to catch their plane back.

I strongly suspect any photo that makes fun of anyone in a negative light would be instantly rejected by the CO calendar police.
