... right now I am working on some travel-related development projects and will work on another event after I get them up and running.

I am thinking another wine dinner, but we will see.

Sounds great!

LOL! The group coming from the E PC to the Marriot tried to do a commeritive journey at DO IV of your trip at the previous DO! We however were unsuccessful! Perhaps you need to start a thread on how to properly derail the MM Train!

Nope. I didn't even look to find where it was at. And I wouldn't have left the secure side of D to go find it assuming it is outside. With the snow today there wasn't much to see anyways.

Most likely yes. I'm actually reasonably well rested for only sleeping in 2-3 hour increments. I'm guessing that having the BF seat to NRT tomorrow will help me get a longer stretch of sleep, but I also don't want to miss the food service, so maybe not so much with sleeping well on that flight either.

CO has treated me very well so far on this run, with plenty of food and booze as desired and typical friendly helpful FAs and PC reps throughout.

On the BWI-IAH I just finished the pilot called out to use the lav. The FA replied that there was someone in the lav because apparently it looked like it was locked. Sitting in 1B I knew that no one was in there and told her this but she knocked and claimed that she heard someone in there. Another 10 minutes later (probably 30 since the pilot called out) another FA comes up and gave the door a solid knocking and pulled it open to an empty lav. The whole scene was rather entertaining. I would have had more sympathy for the pilot but as he is an Auburn fan I decided not to care too much. :p

There's been the Mega Storm, sbm12 hasn't seen landside of an airport since sometime on Saturday and he's still going strong (I just thought right now he could have done some charity drive and got press coverage for this), shell NYC got paid money from her ex-BF, NHL hockey discussion, Hilton Honors discussion and changing what you get free, etc. Nothing really new.

Your in trouble now. The real question is does he have as much time on his hands as you do to catch up on 840+ pages at 40 posts a page????:confused:

The value of power napping. I'm assuming the PC's help a lot too.

ALCO has a cold.
SBM12 is jetting across the country and soon across the Pacific in search of Bacardi.
Sfogate's car got hit by a hit and run but she found out who it was.
Scott6067 knows how to put together quite the dinner menu.
The trapezoid rule sucks.
FT 'search' sucks.
FT itself sucked for a few days.
Baglady was drinking margeritas with the nanny.
No one from The Box won Mega-millions...yet.
Tim Tams are great.
There is such a thing as a part time vegan.
The Box loves it some hot sauce.
We can't speak of 24.
Everyone is rebooking SPG awards to save points.
Mexican coca-cola is great.
ssullivan and Dilbert might be distant cousins.
Tang will clean your dishwasher.
Colpuck is a bump wh:rolleyes:re.
The whole Box is populated by p:rolleyes:st wh:rolleyes:res.

I think that's it.

Oops, Olton Hall beat me to it.

Indeed. Showers each morning in PC E at IAH have been a god-send.

Great summary! The only minor change I'll suggest is that I will be drinking whiskey and shoju in Tokyo, not Rum. ;)

Also, for those of you looking at MRs and throwaway ticketing and dupe booking on the same flight, don't do it. My two reservations on CO 767 SEA-IAH tonight are causing all sorts of trouble. I cannot change/discard the one until I actually get to SEA tonight and then I basically have to convince the PC agent to trash those segments. I would've paid the change fee and moved those flights to a different day but the agents I talked to told me not to because it was more expensive that way. :rolleyes: Hopefully the agent in SEA tonight can deal with it OK.
