I got the email earlier informing me that:

We're sorry, but continental.com was unable to complete your request due to a technical problem.
Please try later or call 1-800-300-1547 for assistance.
The flight is only booked to 37, so I like my chances, but I have no idea what the waitlist looks like. I better not have to fight for it at NRT. That would really annoy me.

Never mind. The upgrade actually cleared, so apparently I'm one of the 37, not on the outside looking in. All the seats are blocked, which is annoying, but whatever.

Off to burn off some of the sushi calories, and then eat more sushi. :D :D

For any of the box folk that are T-mobile customers. If you haven't heard, they've launched an unlimited minutes plan for $49.99. You have to be a customer for at least 22 months, but it's a heck of a deal.

sfogate, I don't think I am going to see you this month!

I am doing a BWI trip this weekend, but out of SJC, and for the DUB trip, I am leaving on a morning flight, and arriving on Monday 3/30 around 8:00PM.

How am I to get my sfogate fix?!?!

In my crazy mind, I guess I'm just thinking about doing a day trip to a warmer location with a beach nearby (not to go in the water but to just lay in the sun for the day). Since fares to FL and the Caribbean are quite pricey (spring break :mad:), I thought about making the trek out to CA. I may try out a mix of VX and UA ps in the process...

Yeah, the beach is nice for pictures but that's about it. Go down to MB, you'll have a much better time.

Or you could go to SAN. That's always nice. ;)

PS is always nice.

SAN was my first choice in CA for this particular weekend but I'm having trouble finding flight times that would work with my schedule and make such a short trip worth doing.

If your intention is to go in the water, don't go to the beach by LAX, there's a nice Chevron refinery right around the corner. ;)

What you don't like the El Segundo tan ?
