Smart Mop commercial - poured cola on the floor, wiped it up with the "Smart Mop" and then said.. "In these tough times, you wring it right back into the glass and drink it up!" And then they did! Eww! |

The Big Island has two very different sides. Hilo is the wet side and nearby is Parker Ranch. Home of the Hawaiian Cowboys and great beef.
Kona is the dry side and full of volcanic rock. In between the cities is the volcano and not much else. There are also lots of flower farms that might be of interest but I can't remember that much about them. Every Hawaiian Island is different. Big Island = volcano Lanai = pineapple plantation and two very private resorts Kauai = dull, wet and their claim to fame is Hurricane Ike that struck in 1992 and part of the Thorn Birds was filmed there, along with other movies Oahu = Waikiki, Diamond Head and the North Shore Molokai = mules rides and the Leprosy Colony Homestead Maui = Kapalua golf course and whale watching, Road to Hana

Out of curiosity, do any boxers upload their itineraries to FlightConnect?

I'm running late. Panic panic panic.
Did I mention panic? And that i'll still likely be sitting in the gate area bored after nothing i'm planning/allowing for actually goes wrong? In the meantime, panic panic panic. |

I think the honeymoon itinerary has finally reached completion!
JFK-ICN-BKK-ICN-NRT(KE)-SFO-MEM-EWR(NW) I'm going to watch the SFO-EWR availability to see if anything shows up on one of the CO flights but will settle for the MEM connection. Throw in the BKK-SIN-SYD-SIN-BKK(SQ)-HKT-BKK(TG) that I purchased separately and we're all set! ^ After ticketing, the agent that helped me make the changes this morning said "Wow, that's a lot of flying - I hope your fiancee likes planes!" :eek: :D |

Morning Box. Lightning story: my mother and one of her outside sales people were flying home from somewhere on the West Coast. Pilot comes on and warns of lightning, and is kind enough to say that there's another line of storms further out that one side of the plane can watch. Outside sales woman, name deleted to protect the stupid, looks at my mother: "Nancy, why is the lightning only on one side of the plane?" :rolleyes: |

On a happier note, my wife also had an interview with a school district in the AUS area. They basically told her that she could have any of the four or five positions they have open. So she's pretty much guaranteed a job after we move. ^ to that. Sorry to hear the bad news. I hope everything is ok. and congrats/happy birthday for your wife. |
In ATL, on board my first flight (three each way) to KOA. Combined with a horrible day yesterday (car is in Chattanooga after two complete breakdowns and one "repair", zero sleep, and needing to speak to 12 people to simply check in), it's going to be a long, rundown day.
I do have my alternative routing set if there's a VDB possibility on the next segment ... |

The box passed the half-million view milestone too. |
So i'm here in MCO dreadfully early because - as mentioned above - none of the problems I left time for actually occured.
And you know what? MCO is dreadful itself. It's an ugly, dirty, poorly laid out airport. TPA has nearly idenitcle trams to MCO but TPA's aren't worn, chipping paint, carpet ripping up, stained, scuffed, nor generally dirty at 6am. It's obvious they're renovating here at MCO too, but i fear it wont improve things much. The general upkeep of this airport is horrid. I always assumed that TPA was the way it was to appeal to tourists by being a clean and well designed portal to the state. I assumed MCO was akin to TPA - now I know better. It's not just the age of things either, it's management. It's the little things that give it away, like how TPA has cleaning people who dress in crisp stark white outfits pushing stainless/chrome carts that are shiny and all the bins are masked with more bright white linen. Here at MCO the cleaning people wear drab blue and grey generic uniforms and push around a plastic shop trolly with a dirty yellow rubber trash sack hanging off of it that is covered in more marks and filth then one could imagine. Do the people who run MCO never get to the other side of the state? |

Do it. You can always cancel and get a refund after 24 hours. Oh wait, that's what ALCO said to me. ;)

That's precisely what I'm doing :)
*prints boarding passes* And I just rescheduled the itin to route via EWR and picked up 2k more EQM. Happy day, even if it is 2am, I've barely slept, and I need to leave for the airport (in Orlando..) in 2 hours. |
Morning Box. If the rain holds off today I shall finally get my driveway :rolleyes:
