A ^ to NBC starting off by saying the grilling was done by people who can't be blameless for the mess themselves.

Orbitz sent me an e-mail telling me there was a change to my LAX-LIM itinerary, only problem is, there is no change. :rolleyes:

Any SPG hotel recommendations in Houston? I'd like to avoid the aloft (boring) and the Westins and St. Regis (price). A property with good upgrade chances is a plus. :)

Well, no, probably not that far out. :p

Aircraft change from a 73G to a 738 or something else useless like that??

Needless to say the ticket was around $800 but she kindly said if this is outside of what we had wanted to spend on her birthday gift she understood :mad::mad::mad::mad: ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME :mad::mad::mad::mad:. I ended up giving in and looked up reward tickets on CO because my wife was giving me sh!t and we found times that were within 2 hours of her original itinerary. We called her and told her what we found and she started b!tching about how if she did this she would have to leave her house at 6 am to catch the flight and some more b.s. Oh, I forgot to tell you what she gets me for my birthday....n:rolleyes:thing, not that I care or even want anything from her but come on!!! ETA: To be fair she does get my brother-in-law gifts but he's in seminary school.

After all this, Mothers day is coming up and I told my wife that if she wanted to get her mom something she could get a second job to pay for it. My mom will be getting a nice arrangement from FTD.com once I get my CO debit card. :p

4P or Sheratons are the only other choices.

Yeah, i saw that. I'm leaning towards the Sheraton Brookhollow as they are the cheapest option and they have free parking. It was also semi-recently renovated. Some people complain about road noise, but I'm sure that won't be too bad wi the AC on...

I guess my other consideration is the Sheraton Suites by the Galleria but I don't really want to pay for parking.

Thanks!

That's OK. My crazy (not the good kind of crazy either) aunt called yesterday at 8:27 AM eastern time to wish me happy birthday. I didn't answer. I wasn't even awake. But on her voicemail she not only wished me happy birthday but followed that by admitting she didn't remember exactly what day my birthday was, and she wasn't sure what day yesterday was. But she figured she was close so she'd call anyway. Apparently when she gets off her meds she loses track of time and what day it is. I'm sure my father will be thrilled with to hear about this tomorrow evening when I see him, as he's the only person who really watches out for her.

I like Brookhollow. Almost guaranteed upgrade to a decent Junior Suite, and it has the new Sheraton look/furnishings. Location is meh.
