The making of WN's new "Florida One"

A hideous paint job, IMO, but a pretty cool video.

Oh I did - Stifel was getting hammered for the acquisition so there was zero premium in continuing to hold.

Teh UA F seat is very spacious with a ridiculous amount of storage space. The aisle feels cramped though.

We have a 1K trouble maker making a scene

Heh, puns don't count if you don't mean them :D:D

The one drawback for non 1ks is that UA takes meal orders by status. So, as a 1K i always get my first pick.

Now, if I didn't have status, it would suck.

Congrats.

We found an outstanding breakfast place in downtown Portsmouth. Kind of a diner place with great things like crab omelets. Can't remember the name but it's hard to miss. It's on the main street, there's a line out the door, and the place is covered inside with all sorts of tackiness. Portsmouth is a nice town to walk around, and the Sheraton is quite convenient for that. It's also worth the short trip across the drawbridge to Kittery for a lobster roll on someone's back deck over the water by their lobster shed on the island. Cross the bridge, hang a right or left down the first street, and you'll see a few houses that have such businesses. Hard to beat a fresh lobster roll (made from a lobster the shack's owner caught) and beer, while sitting on the water watching the boats, served by a local in their backyard, all for about $12.

Good morning Box. Just a quick trip through today. We're leaving for airport in a couple of hours.

Sounds excellent - I had a crab omelet last month at the Park Hyatt Chicago and it was ^

Ding Ding Ding.

I get to deduct something like $16K/year between those two. Those little numbers spin real fast from red to green when I enter in my real estate and mortgage interest into TurboTax.
