I just checked my SPG reservations and it looks the Sheraton Crystal City Hotel had upgraded me from a traditional room to a club floor room. It looks like their lounge is closed on the weekends :rolleyes:

I am staying one night on a friday night. Does anyone know if they give plats breakfast certs?

I wandered into OMNI P/R....

A note on perfect weather.. AMS-EWR Monday had good weather but the last 40mins into EWR were nauseating - to the point of the rear cabin having a few toss their cookies, myself feeling rather ill in the front.

No rain, no storms, no cloud cover really. Just a bit windy maybe - hard to tell from inside the aircraft. But it would certainly have been remarked as "perfect" weather from the ground.

That makes sense. I'm not really into doing trips on my own (other than work of course) now that I have BL JR. I must say that my favorite travel companion is Plus1.

Soy milk is okay. Plus1 loves it (as does our nanny); especially the vanilla or mixing vanilla with regular.

Plus1, his daughter and BL JR all eat cereal dry. I was allergic to milk as a child and had OJ on my cheerios. Once I was able to drink it, I had no desire and it wasn't until I was probably 30 before I started forcing myself to drink it. I'll probably have one glass a week and that's it, but I can tolerate it now.

I would have loved to have that on our rental last week; however we needed a huge van to hold 6 people and all their luggage (my cousin packs like me).
YUMMMMMM!

Hopefully. Plus1 could not find a sympathetic ear and ended up essentially doing a mileage run IAH-LAX-IAH on Sunday. I told him to think of the miles :rolleyes:

Except skim milk doesn't have chemicals that 2% doesn't have. Just no fat. Most people think it's watery and I guess I agree but I hate the thick stuff (which is probably my issue with soy milk because it's not the taste). Low fat and reduced fat can be okay on certain things (like dairy) but people kid themselves if they do everything that way. Fat Free Fig Newtons have either 5 calories less or 5 calories more than the regular one :rolleyes:

My AMS-EWR flight came with a warning from the cockpit as we pushed back that there was some kind of clear-air windy nastiness over Canada that would affect us by the time we were feet dry on the Atlantic side. The first hour of flying time from Atlantic landfall was one constant shake rattle and roll. Nobody ralphed on my flight that I know of, but it certainly was far from pleasant.

I have obtained teh beisbol tickets.

BNA-PHL? That's not that bad. But on a CR2, anything is pretty miserable.

IAH-HNL is two flights a day, on 764s. That's a lot more seats, and cargo space, than a 752.

That ain't nothing. Try MSP-IAH on an ERJ. Works quite well if you get the exit row seat and grab a couple of pillows on the way back. Even better if you have a drink coupon or two and a good book or a fully charged laptop to keep yourself entertained.

Woohoo!

This might be too much info even for The Box, but what the hell. I recently tried vanilla soy milk. Imagine my surprise when it made me quite gassy. Imagine my further surprise when said flatulence smelled exactly like the product itself, as if it hadn't been digested at all. I was farting perfectly unmolested vanilla scent. That scared me off of soy milk. If it can get thru my system and hold its original smell, something just ain't right with it. (True story.)

She is one that kids herself. Nearly everything in the house is low or reduced fat. When I have breakfast there, I have Light rye bread that is only 40 calories per slice topped with Smart Balance or reduced fat peanut butter. I would say that I've gotten used to it, but it's easy to adjust to a complete lack of taste. They don't eat food in that house, they consume matter.

Just picked up bones season 1 on dvd. Damn hulu.com getting me into shows.

Wheelchair, B-84...

I used to do TPA-CMH frequently on ERJ's with DL and CO. I got rather sick of it and switched to WN for that route. Shortly thereafter, I noticed that DL/CO reduced their frequency and increased the size of the planes for that route. I think i'm not the only one who became "sick of it." Not sure the current status of that route or planes used, but I recall noticing the change when comparison shopping the route after I changed airlines.
