Does Kyra look that airbrushed in person? :confused:

The past is the past, CM. Past performance doesn't predict future results.

Always trying to talk me in to making that drive... :)

I'm actually looking at the first weekend in April when SNA is $350+ out of PHL.

When the fares can be half as much, why not? If Manhattanites are going to BWI...

I'll only go to BWI for $120 transcons. :D

She is ridiculously gorgeous in person, airbrushed or not.

I'm not complaining. As a Devils fan, I'd rather be the one that finds the ways to win.

And PHL is half the distance. $198++ for 5K+ EQM as opposed to high 300's from EWR - come on now. Yes, the airport is a craphole. Yes, you may have to see WN. But the deals are hard to argue with as compared to EWR.

Oh, I agree 100% - PHL has some fantastic deals. I have no problem driving down there for MR purposes but for normal trips, I don't even look at PHL pricing.

With the trip I'm currently looking for, a connection at IAH also means less beach time. :td:

If I really like something, I buy it by the case. I belong to a wine club and I get some yummy stuff there! I like Prosecco but only have a few bottles of it right now. The one I like has been too hard to find lately. I buy cheap stuff for mimosas (add a bit of Grand Marnier and it tastes amazing) but need a bit better for straight drinking ;)

PHL has become my first look - with the fiancee right in the neighborhood and the potential for more miles and segments for ye who doesn't fly as much, it works very well. When we go to BWI next week will be an important test point in the relationship - if she doesn't gripe about the drive, we might end up flying more since the fares will meet her budgetary muster more often.

I on the J.Ed special tomorrow. My flight is -2 with all flights tomorrow sold out. I don't think I am going to get a bump, probably because DL can't fill a flight to save its life

My BB is going off and my mother thinks it's something coming thru the TV from the Devils game. I'm not gonna tell her...she complains about the noise enough, so she should know what it is.

I think I will dodge a bullet tomorrow. I was checking into the HGI in Norman, OK and I noticed that the Red Hat Ladies are having a convention here starting tomorrow it seems. Luckly I will be outta here by 7 am!

Ditto. I haven't been buying cases since I started watching my wine budget, but I like to buy a case when I find something I like.
For a reasonably priced but good prosecco, I would try Zardetto. Specs warehouse usually has it, around $12-14 a bottle.

Yep, you should. What time of day will you be there? I have seen Shipley's in Terminal B closing up shop early. But if you're there in the morning up through the early/mid-afternoon you should be good.
