Anyways, my sister's here in L.A. with me, and I'm getting real good care at the UCLA Medical Center. Brand new hospital too, with a nice view from my room. Don't have a camera, or I'll start a thread on the Photography forum. :D

So, I may not come here for a couple of days, but I'll go back online as soon as I can.

Ha, I know some of you postwhores will use my "unfortunate condition" to increase your post counts. :p:D:p:D Just don't overdo it. Wahahahahaa.... :)

Very young. GL w/ your bypass.

I never believe anyone that tells me it hurts like a 10 or a 11.

I always take the person who tells me it hurts like a 7 very, very seriously (little hint for the narc seeking crowd ;) ).

rkkwan, as mentioned in the other thread, I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. One advantage of having this procedure done so young is your body will be able to recover that much faster. (Just don't ask for a widebody catheter)

Looking forward to reading your posts, post surgery.

We will have to have an LAX Micro-DO once you are fully recovered. I'm sure that will be great for everyone's health. Get well soon, rkkwan!

FWIW, I just called the Hilton Diamond Desk and complained about not having any promotions in a while and the rep told me she would add a 2,500 point bonus if I have a stay within 60 days. Granted she may have done this because she saw I havent stayed at a Hilton (or any hotel) in over 3 months it may be worth calling and complaining to see if they will give you a few bonus points.:p

Serious Question
 
SHOULD I DUMP THE CANUCK?

I've been jonesing to do something, just the two of us, over a weekend. Get away and just relax. I was really pulling for the TPA/SXM e-savers but I guess she can't take off Monday. Poop.

I found cheap flights to MSY (she's never been) coming home Sunday night and because it's winter the hotels are, of course, pretty cheap.

I asked her if she wanted to go and she hesitated. "It seems like an awful long way to go for only 1.5 days."

:eek::mad::eek::mad:

Mine would say the same thing. Just go without her.

That kinda defeats the purpose. :(

She does realize what she's gotten herself into right? That's a normal weekend for us btw. :D Our usual time in LAX area is 30 hours touch down to take off and somehow it doesn't seem strange to us.

Hmmmm...I'd probably use that line on ALCO's '24 hours on the ground' line after flying half way around the world :p, but to MSY? Naaaah. Not sure if it's dump-worthy though.;)

Best of luck to you. I've watched plenty of these done... you'll be good as new in no time!

LIM's actually not that far from IAH, unless you get there by flying IAH-SFO-EWR-LIM. :D

Royal Caribbean's super-annoying flash ads have ensured that I will not be spending any $$$ with them any time soon. I hope Holland America doesn't start spamming FT with flash ads. I'd hate to stop using them.
