I see that MSY had some strong storms. We just got hit w/ some in Downtown. Today's high was 95 degrees in Teh Pit.

I am like a kid with a new toy with this mini-keg. I am on my 4th Heineken :eek:

Do you have dates yet?

Sept 15-19. I think we are flying in and out of SJC. :-:

Pumped to ride on one of these ALCO?

Bugger, I’m drunk. :eek:

I think I need to make something to eat @:-)

I think 5 drops of rain fell around me. Still humid but temp is now nice. Got to drive with windows open. ^

Had some of the hamburgers from the PA Dutch Farmers Market today. My verdict is much better than the crap from the grocery store.

Any tips on booking a :-:wood hotel in San Francisco? I am a lowly Gold

I was very happy with a recent stay at the LM.

Some may even say it's a short walk to the Golden Gate Bridge. :p

Yep. I can haz Combi on ANC-FAI-SCC-BRW. BRW-FAI-ANC is a regular plane.

Just sleep under an overpass. You'll receive better Generalissimo elite perks. Priority placement by the trash-can fire and a complimentary glass of pruno are included.

Hyatt Lost Pines is ^. Haz a lazy river that you can take drinks on (in plastic cups). :-::-::-:

I really wish SPG had a property like that in TX.

Are you paying $ or points?

I really like the LM -- it is probably the nicest of the hotels I stay in regularly or semi-regularly for business. It is, however, in the financial district and may be dead on weekends. Trustguy stays there all the time; maybe he'll chime in with tips.

I wouldn't expect any benefits as a Gold, since I never seem to get anything there as a Plat.

Westin La Cantera would be close, if it had a lazy river.

ETA - I also am partial to the Sheraton South Padre Island, but picking the right time of year to go is key. The beach is no fun when it's 105 degrees and disgustingly humid, or when it's packed with Spring Breakers.
