FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Thanks! We just recorded episode 3 so that should be up in a few days. I missed out on the second thanks to a work crisis. :mad:

How in the world do you guys get such sizeable balances?!?! Mine is at $90 and I've used <$100 in the past.

Do you book all your travel on CO.com? And if you do, do you book one way tickets, or round trips?

My having to use a corporate travel agent screws me on the Travel Bank. I'd be raking in about $50/month in the Travel Bank if I could book everything on CO.com.

This is the correct attitude. :) ^

Good morning (afternoon?) belynch. I guess that you are off to get the Tylenol bottle. Just remember, no alcohol allowed into your system for six hours after taking that stuff. :td:

I thought that those caplets were to be used to stir a martini, then take together. :cool:

Same for Mrs. MBM3 as she could work from her firm's headquarters there, but NYC is just not our cup of tea for living anymore. Hard to give up a nice yard and house that are affordable and convenient to the things we love to do.

For now I will enjoy the short commute to my home office and the long commute to GVA.

Gotcha...wasn't sure if you were in the market or not based on that post. :o

I know another company that is way more domestic and that you could keep your CLE address. I passed on an opportunity with them as I had some concerns about the organization, but they are definitely out there and were hiring when I spoke with them recently. If you want to give up the international bit there are options.

Ahh. I'm in 14C - didn't know if you had grabbed the opposite-side window.

IIRC, sdm1130 is in 14F right now, enjoying the wonders of DSM.

So he's enroute to join the other 17 people? :p

I either have a head cold or I'm fighting off the flu - can't tell which just yet. I can feel my stomach growling and it's not registering with my brain to go eat something. This isn't the preferred way to burn off Thanksgiving calories, but if all I've consumed today is less than one cup of coffee, I'll certainly not gripe when I step on the scale to look at a lower number. I'm tracking my weight loss from the time I started at Borgata (6/9/08) and I'm at -22 as of today, up from a high of -27. I wouldn't mind being at -40 for the Do/Meet/Thing.

Good Day everyone, heading over to Paris for the first time in March. Any recommendations for nice, centrally-located, hotels to do the sight-seeing/tourist thingy?

Save your OP miles for next year when you can use them on that carrier.

Did the SYD-AKL portion in C on NZ-berry berry nice

I made to the frozen tundra yesterday after 2 hours in a 12A with the worst seat bottom padding I have ever experienced. It's warm today - in the low 20s (:rolleyes:) but the forecast is calling for more single digit temps and inches (yes, inches) of ice. If the power goes out, I may lose my mind. :)

I'm not on the party flight as I didn't want to deal with the drive to/from PHL. We're flying out of EWR.

I'm staying at the Le Meridien Etoile for the honeymoon. It's fairly centrally located, not far from the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower (the tower is about 3/4 of a mile away). Their newly renovated Executive-Floor rooms are supposed to be very nice.

Good deal. I'm -31 since 10/1 - when I stopped living at the Westin and started living at home again. Cutting out carbs is doing amazing things. Of course, I'd kill for a pizza, but that's another story.

Hope you feel better!
