The PenaltyBox FM should also try to hit all of the Texas airports, or at least the ones that CO serves. We're really sucking on that right now. That leaves us still with the following that we need to hit in 2009:

  • ELP
  • MAF
  • DRT
  • LRD
  • TYR
  • BRO
  • HRL
  • MFE
  • CRP
  • DAL
  • ACT
  • GRK
  • VCT
  • CLL

If we want to get all the airports in the state, or that service a city in the state (since TXK is technically on the AR side of the border), then someone will have to suck it up and hop on AA Eagle to get to:

  • SPS
  • SJT
  • ABI
  • GGG
  • TXK

And then we're missing one last big airport, which has several airlines as options:

  • HOU

Who's up for the challenge?

I'll be hitting ELP in March, TYR some time in the summer, and CRP if we have a DO. I could probably work in VCT somewhere in there.

I am almost always good for snagging BRO & HRL, and will likely head back to CRP at some point this year.

We need to have a CRP DO.

Let me go buy that winning lottery ticket right now and large quantity of currency coupons as I'd suspect I'd have to drink heavily to survive such a challange.

I know you are probably looking to get points for your stay but I have stayed at the Ginza Dai-Ichi Hotel a few times. It's located at the end of the Ginza (main expensive shopping street) and I liked it even before they totally renovated the property. A quick look on the internet showed a price of $200.

On Saturday, July 18, the Corpus Christi Hooks will play the Frisco RoughRiders at Whataburger Field at 07:30pm. I foresee a weekend of fishing, beaches, burgers, and baseball. V Boutique Hotel has very nice rooms, and an excellent Vietnamese restaurant.

... I've got IAH covered. :rolleyes:

I think Pandy is going to boot me off FT. I just changed flights for next week. The change encompasses going from mainline down to express and from a 738 to a 735. If that wasn't bad enough, I have a 45 minute connection from Express to Mainline in IAH, connecting to the last flight of the night into LGA.

I have never once made this connection in about 10 attempts.

So why on earth did I just drop $150 to essentially spend the night in Houston only to (most likely) get on the same flight I was originally booked on the next day anyway?

I'm retarded.

To "enjoy" a complimentary night at the Awesome Days Hotel IAH? :rolleyes:

Seems like it. :rolleyes:

If any of the Box crew is out by IAH and wants to mobilize for a potential Wed. night meet -- I'll buy the first round if I get :rolleyes:'ed.
