AS is having a similiar sale this weekend but it may be more MR worthy!

So I had DUH moment today. Was on CO.Com and wondering why I hadn't gotten the upgrade TUL-IAH on a wednesday morning. That is when reality set in and I remembered that I am now only Gold with CO. Something I am working hard to fix!

I have something worse to deal with on wednesday. I have to remember to not cross the blue carpet and use the ordinary people lines and be the very last person to board because I'm a couple rows behind the mid cabin galley. I get to watch all of the during boarding so that should be entertaining.
At least it's an empty flight so I shouldn't have any issues with carry-on space.

Sorry to hear that.

It should be interesting next Saturday. The flight is looking like it will be going out with one seat empty. I may just have to go to the gate and see what they have to offer. I wouldn't mind going to NRT via HNL and GUM. We shall see. I know there is atleast one other FT on the flight.

Great city tour we just finished with lots of good photos.

World Airways IIRC has M11 and DC-10's - I flew them over and back to Saudi on DoD contract charter once, and mni Air the second time to Qatar.

I need to get myself on a M11 before they get phased out. I think my best chance is via LX once we are in *A.

I'm home with a sick kid while Plus1 is in LA taking his daughter to the Pink Panther (He was hoping for the Jonas Bros). I may be the winner here.

You are the winner. The previews for that movie don't look good at all.

They look awful. Whenever BL Jr brought it up I'd tell her she had to wait for it to come out on DVD. I'm shocked he's not on the FT mobile site.

Upon your return is your first visit to a massage therapist or a chiropractor? Seriously, how are you going to do all that in E+?

I suspect by 3/12 he will be asking us for recommendations for a massage therapist or chiropractor.
