FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I stayed there shortly after it opened, and was given a great corner poolside suite. If you ask, they will send a mini-fridge by your room for free (great for stocking up on Belgian beers from the nearby Specs - Dairy Ashford & Memorial, IIRC)

Yeah I saw your review of this hotel in the Starwood forum over the weekend and decided it would be a safe bet. I was looking for something not too far out at a reasonable price, but wasn't really wanting to fork over $400+ for two nights in the Galleria/Uptown, Medical Center, or Downtown areas. The price here was great, and with the multiple promos Starwood is running, it's an even sweeter deal.

Indeed, as well as questionable taste in suits.

:eek:

You could go to one and get outside of the "outer loop", aka, Highway 6 by visiting the one over near West Oaks Mall.

I'm doing the math and even after my next few flights (one r/t in F and one in Y, so both 150% EQMs) I will only have 20,000 EQMs.

I do have IAH-LAS-IAH and possibly a IAH-PDX-SEA-IAH trip so I may squeak by with Silver.

yay.

I finally get to sit in Row 16 on a 752! Yeah! 16F to be exact. Unfortunately, no AVOD; but I have catch up with some reading anyways.

No, he got rid of the mullet a few years ago and the beard got shaved around the time that heavy job speculation started. My mother is even willing to forgive the fact that he likes to put ketchup on his french toast.

I got to skate on the ice of the Big Boys. Not many can claim that.

No, and yes. It's cool to skate on an NHL sheet, no doubt. I am jealous of nothing attached to Philly sports...ugh. Can't stand any of them. Despite your choice of teams, you're still a decent human being. :)

LOL. His suits from when he was coaching in Canada and LAX are for the most part wacky, admittedly. Hopefully he'll keep using his ESPN wardrobe behind the bench in TPA. Recently it hasn't been that bad.

ARGH. I went from numero uno on the upgrade standby list for my flight today to number 4. :mad:

At least I get to rock 12A on my RJ. Pseudo first class(less).

I have an RJ flight in September, and I gotta get exit rows. Lucky for me the PHL-CLE first of the day is usually pretty light on anyone, let alone elites. I can usually go on at 24 hours and snag row 12.

For RJ's you haven't rolled until you've rolled in 9A on a 135.

I have yet to fly a 135 and for some sick reason, I have been hoping to find a chance to fly one before CO retires them from the fleet.

145 is plenty tiny for me - next on my list is a Q400...maybe if the hockey trip goes to the right place.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 9:10 am.
