Sigh ... yes, you already taunted me ... but go on, twist the knife a little further ... sigh! ;)

Just been checking fares for BRS. Not looking pretty for the few days I have available. Might have to wait until later in the year. Good thing I have PLAT sewn up already for this year.

As for tea bags/chocolate, I will have to beg others to bring them back for me.

I did the three that had to be removed under local (no one to drive me home that day) ... lots of interesting grinding noises.

Grinding, and the oral surgeon leveraging his entire body weight to get some of them out.

I suppose there's the reason those drugs are a controlled substance.:rolleyes:
Too bad. Tomorrow is Monday and I could use 'em.:D

It was actually as I spent 2 hrs bsing with the FAs on the galley.

Did you find those LH lounges at IAD? ;)

Yes there is a lh lounge at iad. No I didn't try to go in there as I was on a *a ticket yet.

Now I am at the nz lounge in lax.

So the nz lounge hasn't opened yet. The ac lounge denied me entry as I am not leaving lax today. However, earlier the ua rcc let me in.

Do you think the nz lounge will deny me. Also was it right of ac to deny me?

The Devils are down 3-1 thanks in no small part to penalties that are being called for retaliatory actions and not the primary actions which should get called. That's a great lesson to teach kids watching an afternoon game: being a target and letting yourself get screwed with will let you stay on the ice, but stand up for yourself and get a penalty. What a politically correct crock.

Where is it? I cannot for the life of me figure out where it is (as you can tell from my earlier posts).

My oral surgeon (whom our entire family used and who always did a great job) could have played football in college, judging from his build. I guess it must have come in handy in his line of work as well . . .

I had mine taken out the summer before senior year of college, under general (all I remember is waking up and thinking "over already - I've only been asleep 5 minutes!"). Went home, slept for most of the rest of the day, was surprisingly able to eat dinner (it was some soft rice-based dish).

Then, the next morning, all 5 of us (mom, dad, and 3 kids) piled into a sedan and drove from Cleveland to DC. THAT was less than fun, and when we got there to our hotel room with 2 double beds, my sisters made me sleep on the floor.

This should give you some idea of the dynamics in our family (ironically, I'm the oldest). :-p

Smile upon me, oh bump gods, for I am at MSY on the last day of Spring Break... booked on the last flight of the day to IAH. :D

I was able to book a 9 segment r/t TPA-ONT-TPA on .bomb. I never tried for 8 segments one way, but the 9 segment r/t wasn't a problem I booked TPA-SAN, SAN-SFO, SFO-ONT, ONT-SAN, SAN-TPA, I think. I may have just done SAN-ONT on the outbound. Final routing was TPA-IAD-SAN-LAX-SFO-ONT-SFO-SAN-ORD-CLT-TPA with the first segment on Ted and the last two on US.

I'm pretty sure same day departure ticket is a requirement. ST allow on arrival, too, but *A is departure only.

Sweet mother, what a beautiful routing. ^

Also noticed that TPA-ONT made its way onto the premium deals thread in MR Deals. Oh well.

UA's site only allows 7 flight entries, but it is good to know that it's possible to get more out of it. I guess you just need to go with every other city (or similar) and hope that it provides the intermediate city as a routing option.

I like how advanced routings on UA make it impossible to determine which city is the actual destination. :D

Any thoughts from The Box on HAM vs TXL for a weekend trip?

Both seem to have nice looking SPG properties.
