I think we're about to have a storm. And the wind has kicked up debris between my building and the one next door, which is now blowing up from the ground in a spiral. It's quite interesting to watch. A plastic grocery bag has slowly been climbing and is almost as high as the roof now.

Me, either. I don't have a car, too. I didn't have a driver license. Only that I have real identification in Arizona. I usually to take on the city bus from my apartment.

Trip to SYD is early August.

According to GP support, PH SYD has a Regency Club. Don't know about PH WAS but I'm more than happy to get breakfast only at NoMI at PH CHI.

And I just got tabbed by an accrediting agency to do another site visit. Yet another 4,000 SkyTeam USA EQM (cheapest option).

ETA: And 14,000 RDM ^

Off to the doctor's. :rolleyes:

My other half's boss has no drivers license, which can be problematic as his job requires travel to some places where renting a car is required. As a result, he never can go on those trips alone.

Despite selling our car before we moved, I've kept insurance, since I'm in a rental car 4-5 days/week every week. I cut back to just a liability policy, since my employer requires us to carry one as a backup to the company's policy.

Howdy box
Wedding went as planned
Now playing serious work and box catch-up

Mas later.............

Glad to know everything went well. And I understand serious catch-up - my office day is Thursday yet I've been here since 0730 :td:

Hello, Box.

Sorry I didn't check in sooner - my computer broke during my EWR-HNL run last week. It's all better now.

The good:

1. I got Economy Plus on all segments.

2. Most flights (except the most important one) were on time.

3. United employees at EWR are every bit as useful and chipper as they've been historically known to be (at its height in the late 1990s, UA's EWR operation was easily the best outstation of any airline in North America).

4. Losing my legacy airline Buy on Board virginity wasn't bloody. It was somewhat painful, to be sure, but United took it slow and easy with me (allowing me time to work up the nerve to go all the way on my flight to San Francisco). By the final segment, DEN-EWR, BOB was almost fun to fool around with.

5. To a T, United employees are enthusiastic about the possibilities the merger with Continental will bring.

The bad:

1. I only had 5 hours originally scheduled in Hawaii before heading home.

2. United agents in LAX and HNL are a generally unhelpful lot.

3. United routes the a/c that operates UA083 LAX-HNL from ORD.

The ugly:

1. United 83 got caught up in the tornadic madness of ORD. The flight ended up taking a 6+ hour delay - in fact, it hadn't even arrived at the gate in HNL before I boarded my HNL-DEN flight.

2. I was rebooked onto UA935 (in Y class ;) ), which departed ~ 2.5 hours later than the scheduled time of UA83 and was oversold in Economy. The agent originally gave me an E- middle seat, but switched me to an E+ window seat upon asking. Unfortunately, it was one of the few rows without an actual window, so no ability to ooh and ahh on approach into Hawaii.

3. Agents in LAX and HNL were unwilling to extend my time in HNL at all to make up for the time lost due to the mess of UA83. So, I had all of 2.5 hours at HNL airport, had two mai tais in the UA HNL RCC, bought some souvies for the family, then began the 5,000 mile track back to NJ.

So I've been to Hawaii, but I haven't "been" to Hawaii.

:td: Boo to UA on this one.

opps !!!

The last segment of the honeymoon itinerary "fell off" co.com. Agent confirmed it was still in place. That's an interesting new bug though.

You're the 3rd person to report this issue. I'm actually glad others are seeing this as it helps confirm that it's probably just a co.com bug.

I'm getting extra time at home today, thanks to weather at IAH. My flight is delayed at least an hour due to the fact the inbound aircraft has been stuck on the ground at IAH. What's going on down there?

If it is what rolled through the hills of central western TX last night it is some mad storms. We got about 3.5inches of rain and it rained for a solid 15 hours. It wasn't a gully washer flood but hard and steady for a long time.
