EDIT: My upgrade cleared - for the 4th time. Now to get the companion upgrade to come through...

What an ordeal! I see the flight finally got in at 3:42am EST. :eek:

I also see that someone got a companion upgrade :cool: :cool:

So my smarta$s brother, the B6 pilot, sends me a text yesterday morning: "So your boys were 4 wheeling in Denver."

I guess it appears to friends and family that I run the airline. ;)

Morning Box.

Good call on the bowl games in So. Florida as to why I can't get to a climate that isn't experiencing temperatures that suck in both Celsius and Ferenheit. I had completely forgotten about those (I'm a Syracuse fan :rolleyes:).

Last time Sorry-excuse was in a bowl game I think it was the pets.com s(t)ock puppet bowl in North Haverbrook (we took the monorail).

I was crunching the numbers last night to figure out possible scenarios for the Redskins to make the playoffs. I think the only possible combination goes something like this:
  • Win next week against SF
  • Giants lose
  • Cowboys lose
  • Kurt Warner has a heart attack
  • Panthers get food poisoning
  • Philly loses all their gear flying through PHL and has to forfeit

At least this one is likely. :p

I forgot to quote your post earlier but I had suggested MSY as a possible destination. Fares have been decent lately.

No bump yesterday. I'll try again with NW on Wednesday.

Must. Have. Coffee.

How did you get to the point of being upgraded on three different flights, then end up not taking any of them?

I believe he was protected on multiple different flights which he couldn't connect to due to delays...

Why don't my Hilton stays ever post properly? SPG has generally abysmal IT, but my SPG Stays always post within a day or two after the stay. This is now my third consecutive Hilton stay that hasn't posted within four days of the stay. :rolleyes:

I have the pleasure of taking Chautauqua in a few days. It's going to be Awesome!

In my experience, Hilton stays do take much longer to post than SPG stays. Marriott seems to be hit or miss - sometimes it takes only a couple of days, but sometimes it takes almost a week for stays to post.

I've never had issues with Hilton stays not posting, although there have been a few times it's taken 5-6 days.
