FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I'm having a very relaxing 4th. Both kids are out with friends, husband is supervising his company's BBQ and all I have to do to see our city's fireworks show is walk down to the end of the street and turn left and walk a few more blocks.

The weather is beautiful. Clear skies, breezy and comfortable.

I am stuck inside on a beautiful night while most of my co-workers are out in Edgewater, NJ working the EMS staging area on the Huson River.

At least I just have 40 minutes left here.

Why does PDA.com show available but Plus1 calls CO and they say it's sold out???? Oversell and they need to oversell it just a bit more?

Happy 4th, Box!!!!

I feel so un-American. We skipped the fireworks and went to a movie instead. :eek:

I thought about going to a movie today, but figured tomorrow afternoon would be a good time to go. I've got a couple of passes to the local AMC, so I'm thinking about finally going to go see The Hangover tomorrow. Figure I could see that this weekend and might go see Bruno next weekend.

That said, the aLoft there is a cool property, and a great place for a cheap weekend stay in the Metroplex.

I don't know this area well, when I've been here has always been mon-fri 9-5 time :D

The Macy's fireworks were not heavy on the patriotic until the finale...poo to that, all the music should be patriotic, with the really good stuff saved for the end.

The city I live in has an old fashion 4th. Complete with a little kid parade, an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast put on by the Rotary Club, a dog show, trade vendors and a nice fireworks show at the end of the night. They do play music but I don't get that close to the area to be able to hear it.

I'm thinking a little bit ahead of myself here, but when the times comes I think I'll look in to VS on the way there (with a few days in London) and EK on the return. SA's product looks pretty nice (fozz, I'm surprised they were last on your list) and the FM line would be cool so that would definitely be a consideration.

Well, my placement of SA was due to lack of info. I would LOVE to fly one of their A340-200s before they all go away. I know the VS, EK and LH products.

That is a nice hotel and there is always some nice eye candy there as well.

I am filing a formal complaint with L'Academie Aerogeek Francaise. Such a glaring oversight was simply unconscionable.

Hehehe, though last I checked, you lack that line as well. :)

fozz, I know you mentioned that it was valid on UA, but does anyone know if Asia-HNL-US is really a valid routing on CO? If so, I'll be calling tomorrow to change it. I think I could easily talk my fiancee in to adding a day in Hawaii to the honeymoon. :)

ETA: The HNL-mainland availability is :rolleyes: for our return.

Yeah and I am glad it is over. I go back tomorrow morning for another 16 :rolleyes:

They called me when I got home to see if I wanted to come back. Five minutes after I left they had a high-rise fire in Union City and wanted to know if I wanted to come back and help. I told them the phone was breaking up.
