No, Rolov. They are pure chocolate.

I love Tim Tams, though, too. Had a lot of fun a couple of weeks ago in Oz doing the Tim Tam Slam! :D:D:D^^^

Do screenshots embed something that proves when you took the screenshot? I've never had to do this for business reasons, but could imagine it coming in handy for some personal applications.

Actually, in my experience, for the purpose of convincing accountants and middle managers, paper is good. Therefore, just print out the screenshot and attach the paper to your expense request. It will have the time and date on it.

Or DL through MSP (NW 761) is a possibility, although I would be seeking either AF or a DL/NW A330 if at all possible.

Great success!

Ya'll would be so proud of me. In 3 days next week I'm staying at 3 different hotels. 2 SPG (need the points for summer vacation) and 1 Hilton (fast track to Diamond).

Too bad I don't collect BD points for the Hilton double-dips.

Now if only sfogate can come through on an EUA on my EWR - SFO route (I have chocolate!) then I'll be good to go.

It's not too late to start!

I just saved 40K SPG points by switching from PRG/CDG to CPT, as well, and bumped up in category from Junior Suite to Deluxe Suite. ^

I saw them in world market, only there they are called "Arnotts Biscuits"

I love that most of my work can be done without being in an office. I've done enough work on the B:rolleyes:ltBus ride to DC to pay for my first BWI-SEA flight. And I've got work scheduled for tomorrow night that should cover the second one. :D

A large majority of America is envious of you.

I want to work without being required to be in my office. That's probably why I was seeking out office space earlier this week to start my own firm :confused:

I'm good but not that good. Your flight is full. :( Suggest you use them as drink chits, FAs work for chocolate too.

I don't have the patience for the *A tool right now: here's a rough draft of the RTW I would go for.

I've learned that there's an extraordinary amount of drop-offs 24 hours before a flight. I wouldn't be surprised if at least 1 or 2 people get a battlefield.

Somewhere in CO's ops center someone keeps asking: "Who is this Pandy Reterson and why does he book so many flights in full F and always cancel them at the last minute?"

:eek:;):rolleyes::D:cool:

Be careful what you wish for... I've been working from home/road for almost ten years now. I put in wayyyyyy more hours now than when I worked in a traditional office.
Don't get me wrong. There are advantages. :rolleyes: So far, my record for not showing up at the New York office is 21 months.^

Very nice. However, WAW-ATH may violate the routing rules, as ATH is East of WAW.

Likewise MUC-CPH
