Not easy to find at all. I hate the VZW web site. If you're looking to buy ring tones or any other transaction that generates money for them it is great. If you want to do something actually useful, not so much.

I want to get to SEA this year purely for the coolness factor of the Boeing factory, the aerospace museums, outdoor activities and the MR-esque aspects certainly does not hurt my cause. :)

Boeing Factory tour is cool but if your into WWI and WWII planes there is another museum then go to the Flying Heritage Collection (www.flyingheritage.com) on Boeing Field. You get a discount with your Boeing tour admission. Also there is a Smitsonian restoration center on Boeing Field with a small hanger of private and commercial aircraft in various states of restore. Admission is by donation. Here is the link to that facility: http://www.museumofflight.org/collec...ft-restoration. They are restoring a Dehavilland Comet there in Aero Mexico colors I believe. You get to walk through that one.

I missed the factory tour due to the strike when I had planned to go out there. :(

SEA is fun and a great place to eat lots of good food. Also make sure to do the underground tour it is a very interesting tour. I would not recommmend parking under the elevated near the peirs as that is where my computer bag was stolen and the cops told us that it happens a lot in the area.

I think we need to have a SEA Box DO ^

I am all about taking the bolt bus back down to PHL.

I am up for a SEA BOX DO. I dont plan on missing another BOX inspired DO. Still kicking myself for missing the Brussels DO. Perhaps we should try to make the SEA Do during Hops and Props Brewfest (http://www.museumofflight.org/hopsandprops). It would be BOX appropriate.

I too despise Verizon. But they beat the pants off the alternative down my way. As sdm1130 found out, service west of the Parkway bites. Seeing as how my life is no longer strictly east of the Parkway and how I'm in the woods and close to the Parkway, I'd rather not take that chance, despite that the iPhone looks really fun to have. Thanks for the link; bookmarked.

Hmmmm. If I end up doing the Tommy Do, that will by far and away make FRA my most transited foreign airport. It's in my FM six times, and that trip would create another three or four FRA-lines. <rimshot>

According to my FM I've been in FRA 19 times since 2006. :eek:

I'd say, "all in" is close to 30.

Wow. What a horrible statistic.

And to think that you actually responded to the point at hand instead of jumping on my awful pun.

ConciergeMike Feb 17, 2009 9:49 am

The FRA Do will be CO-creditable per Tommy. Guess I better start pumping gas...now I really wanna go.

I just read through the conclusion of the XJT vs. Colgan thread and am still in shell shock. My joke telling machine auto-pun machine defaulted on the wiki link.

There use to be a commercial for Verizon Wireless that said something about 100% coverage from Boston to New York, Philadelpia to Washington, DC. That was to single out NJ since it has so many dead spots. Can you hear me now? Nope, I'm in NJ, the "cellular" dead spot of the US regardless of the carrier.
