The job fairy has smiled upon me - I return to full time employment on June 14th! :-:

It's a contract based consulting job here in NJ, but they're fine with me working remotely in Houston. Anything is better than nothing!

What would make you travel to south Florida in the middle of summer. Ugh! It's only slightly cooler than IAH. And you need to stay on the beach, otherwise it will be :rolleyes:.

Two business trips and one personal trip. :-:

Morning Box.

Is it a bad sign for the day that the brain seems to have shut off after composing that statement?

G'day Box

RDU bound via CLT from BDL onboard a lovely 737-400

Happy Birthday Jrzyshawn

Morning Box. Let the long weekend begin sooner rather than later for eveyone.

For the $75 redeposit and the $75 close in booking fee, I can get AUS - EWR at a MUCH better time and make it to the dinner Friday evening, and then do EWR - CLT on Sunday at a MUCH better time so as to allow for seeing other stuff in New York (like the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island) before heading down to CLT. And, if I do that, I don't have to rent a car which was going to cost me $120 plus gas and tolls. Seems like a no brainer.

Except that the CO Reward Reservations desk closed two hours ago. :rolleyes:

An actual visit to the Statue of Liberty is not worth the time anymore, sadly. Take the Staten Island Ferry and get the photo as you go by it. I'm assuming Ellis Island is worth it. I was there once a very long time ago before they did the renovation and thought that it was cool.

CONGRATULATIONS sdm1130!! ^^

Happy Birthday jrzyshawn :-:

We finally landed in CLE last night at 12:40 am, and I got home around 1:40. It was the longest delay I've had in years, but at least we got home.

Thank you all for the congratulations! I'm looking forward to resuming a more active personal travel schedule. :)

Happy Birthday jrzyshawn! ^

That is excellent information. Perhaps we can set something up for Sunday morning (provided enough people have recovered ;)).

I'm going to FLL for a week in July! Generally speaking, IMO, the best season is off season. :-:

Forgot to say Howdy Box. :-:

I also noticed that after this post I'll need 5 more for 3k. :-:

Miles did not redeposit last night. Called OnePass Service Center to get the miles redeposited, now on h:rolleyes:ld with the reward desk to ticket the new reservation.
