It is easier for them to not do anything and many seem quite happy to take that route.

I know most agents hate to be told that they are wrong or don't know something but it might help the next person. It drives me nuts when the people I work next to won't take the time to do something this simple but alot of the time they just haven't thought of another way to do it and you have to help them along. Hey, if they've already said no, you might as well try cause you've got nothing to lose.

On UA it would be 250% credit, right?? 150% for F and then 100% for dEQM? So figure ~20K miles, plus or minus, for each one.

IM not sure how it would work , it may be Triple on UA:

Offer: Earn a total of triple Elite Qualifying Miles* (EQM) on qualifying United flights in United First® (F, A, P), United Business® (C, D, Z) and full-fare United Economy® (Y, B).

Or, earn double EQM on qualifying flights in all other classes of service.

My original issue was the connection times, .bomb was giving me errors on that but then in true .:rolleyes: fashion it corrected itself.

I guess you may have to use exp or tcity

Try using 'Price' instead of 'Schedule' and have it build itins for you. The 'Schedule' confuses .bomb.

It would be 250% and not 300%. That is from experience.

I think that is what I changed and it worked for me .

Sir, you speak great truths.

Calamari is better without breading anyway.

I think I ate too much at the baptism before the game

Feel better. I've sprained an ankle 4 times now and it gets less fun each time.

If I had a financial arm to my world admin screen, I certainly would be using it. :D

Agree 100%. As a frontline service guy, if someone tells me I don't know something, I'm willing to hear them out so long as they're not :rolleyes: about it. I have no problem admitting that I don't know of every restaurant in the given area, and if you know of some hole-in-the-wall that you want me to check on, great. Just don't be a jackhole. The whole point is for the new info I get to help the next person. Very well said.

The good news is that it isn't too painful. Yet. I definitely feel the warmth coming off my skin but it is OK for now. I'll try for aloe in the morning but I've been using copious amounts of lotion in general to help protect against my skin drying out and blistering.

it is just a $5 visa on entry?

ok nm, fare gone, very expensive.

You actually pay the $5 to CO at the departure point to get the tourist card. It was very strange. There was a guy with a cash box at EWR. Had fozz not said something to me I would not have known at all.

Steph3n Mar 28, 2009 10:17 pm

From austin to PTY via EWR is cheaper than GRK via IAH. How stupid is that. Oh well. more miles!

The aloe vera plant has medical qualities that will take away the sting of the burn, aid in healing and sooth your skin. If you can find one take several leaves and use it generously. The stuff taste terrible so make sure you wash your hands. I strongly recommend using it. I have a huge plant in my backyard that I use all the time since I seem to love to burn myself cooking and I forget that I no longer have a suntan and get sunburned alot.

aloe is good, and there is also this mary kay cream that is orange color I used a few time as a kid that worked wonders on a sunburn.

It is too late to call my mom and find out but I think it was some night cream or something.

I don't think sbm12 is going to be able to find any Mary Kay products in Panama. Aloe might be easier to locate. You have to use the actual plant and not anything bottled containing aloe vera.
