When are you there? BL JR and I arrive Fri a.m.; Plus1 and his daughter arrive Sat a.m.

I'll be there until at least Friday evening if not Saturday morning. Not sure yet.

Ouch....quite a rude awakening after a vacation! I'm on the 8:05 to ROC (Q-4:rolleyes::rolleyes:). Sorry I'll miss you.

By the way....why take the 6:15 (I'm assuming through MSP) that arrives at MCI at 11:36 when you could take a non-stop on CO at 8:40 and land at 11:02??

Good luck with the client.....hopefully they won't be as big a pr:rolleyes:blem as everyone thinks.

Baglady darling, love you though I do, I must disagree: Biofreeze smells absolutely horrid. My mother uses it and I dread when she takes it out.


Love you back and I don't take it personally! Does she use the roll on or the gel? I use the roll on and I can't smell it. Perhaps I've become used to the smell but I am pretty sensitive to smell. Plus1 used Tiger Balm when he hurt himself in HKG one time and I had to throw him out of our room because the smell was so putrid. Another one I like is Aveda Active Oil. Sometimes my massage thereapist will do the massage with Active Oil. I don't like the smell long term, but it's pretty decent and helps with knots. I also carry their roll on Blue Oil. It's a tiny little roll on, smaller than a lip gloss and it will clear sinuses, helps with jet lag, and I'll roll it over my the top of my shoulders after a flight. It does have a smell, but I like it in small doses.

Be careful, I hear those Q-4:rolleyes::rolleyes:s are not safe.

Because I despise RJs especially for that kind of a distance. Anything more than 400 miles I refuse to get on a RJ.

I typically go with the rule if it's over 1 mile; however my next 4 trips there are no options :mad:

I'm learning there is almost always a choice, it just may require a bit of insanity. :D

I'd take an RJ over waking up at that hour anytime (as long as I can get in row 12). Florida's in my territory now so I've gotten to ride on at least a few big-boy jets but for about 6 years, about 85 - 90% of my travel was on RJ's and (more recently) Q-400's. This included some very :rolleyes: routes like EWR-STL (company HQ). At that point, I was taking 130+ segments a year so believe me, it wasn't fun!

On another note, I wanted to start using myflightmemory.com but I'm not sure how to go really far back into my FF records. The website only allows a couple years and I've always recycled my BP's once the trip posts. Any ideas?

I never saved anything until about a few years ago. I know I am missing about 25% from FM. :rolleyes:

I think I'd be missing about 90% of my history. Maybe CO Insider can print my entire CO resume' :D

Go to the BTS website and they have flights going back till 1997. Here is the link: http://www.bts.gov/xml/ontimesummary...yDepatures.xml

So if you have the cities and a general idea of the time you traveled you can get most information.

That's the problem....I've got probably 1000+ flights but not way of getting my records from the airline.

Yep, I've got a *bunch* of stuff pre-2004 that I just don't have records on any more, but I know they're in CO's database. Wish I could get a copy of same.

Buenas noches, box.

12A makes any CO 145 bearable.

I'll do about anything to avoid an RJ - these flights just didn't have those options since I'm not travelling solo.

True; but when you're travelling with a 5 year old, that option goes away so you're stuck in the sucky seats (which anything but 12A is). I'll be very happy when she turns 16! I've already warned my mom I'll be having cocktails on the flight so she doesn't get shocked when she picks me up.

I am done with part of my Amtrak trip :D
