20 year HS reunion

I fail to understand the concept of class reunions, but this is from a guy whose high school has no alumni relations whatsoever. My 10-year, which I thankfully missed, was organized on MySpace and held in a bar. About 40 of 300 people showed up. I can also say without hesitation that I hated almost every minute of high school, so I have no desire to revisit the people and scenarios that made me miserable.

Good morning Box.

As valedictorian of a class of three, my entire educational experience can suck a :rolleyes:.

I'm still friends w/ a lot of people from HS. They are making it into a 3 day event. Friday night at a bar (open bar - expensive, yes - so worth it, though) in the Hard Rock Hotel (bar is closed to the public for 3 hours), Saturday at the beach, and Sunday at a park and a private pavilion w/ a catered lunch. 2 of the 3 days are geared towards families/children. For me, it's worth it. I will be forced to fly if I have to take my daughter. I doubt she can survive 1170 miles in a rear facing car seat.

Arriving at EWR-B is heavenly compared to JFK. My one experience of arriving on a TATL flight into Philly was better than the last time I did so at JFK.

Sounds like your school and/or your coordinator knows how to do it well. :-:

I have a few high school people on my :rolleyes:book, but I actively talk to only two people. They graduated a year behind me and are now married.

Huh, I just checked out the whole ANA site. They're ditching PE on their new configuration for the 773ER. Someone tell TWA Fan, and by someone I mean sbm12. :o:D

I know folks here (except me and rkkwan) don't do TPAC in Y, but the ANA new Y looks pretty good. Fixed back seat, 34" pitch, a 2x for the wife and I. Playing with dates it's a 50% premium over CO that if I was going I just might consider it. :eek:

Sure, JFK is a lot further for you, I doubt I would do that too. Wth my JFK trips I more or less cheated in that I would go to Mom's since they're closer to JFK and we turned that into a visit, a stopover of sorts. The one time we didn't go to my Moms was for our honeymoon when we had a car service.

EWR Terminal B is an absolute disaster when all of the European flights arrive. I've never had a wait less than about 45 minutes there. At certain times of the day, I'd actually pick arriving at JFK over EWR Terminal B.

I've only done JFK for international when there has been a limo involved, and secondly - it's not the distance I was referring to. JFK is just a pain.

And I've got your thread title written: NH drops PE on 77W; implication for combined UA/CO TATL/TPAC fleet?

Depending on length of stay, a condo can be cheaper, although not earning points. I was able to get a 2BR condo right on the beach in Ma'alaea in February for $200/nt for a 7nt stay.

Might be overkill if going solo, but some of the West Maui resorts can be seriously expensive.

Edit: Here's the unit we rented: http://www.vrbo.com/150732 - despite the price quoted on the website, I was able to get it for <$200/nt. Other units in the same building are even less.

Ah, I see. I never found JFK to be a pain itself, and I've been to that pit of a terminal that DL has there. Such is life.

Good thread title, I should have done it, but I dropped a :rolleyes: in the ANA C vs. CO J thread. :o
