They're here to shoot our fireworks display tonight and profile the Grucci family. I'll let everyone know when it's supposed to air.

Nice ^^

I think I've seen the show on History or Discovery or the like.

Yeah. I was originally trying to get down there for this coming weekend, but the fares went up before I could book it. I'd be up for trying again if the fares come back down to a reasonable level. That would be my 5th or 6th new country this year. :D

And just so there's no cheating I've temporarily disabled my map from displaying publicly.

A) 14,053
B) 84,320
C) 42,160
D) 31,369

First guess that's correct gets the booze!

Guess I will go with D as others have been picked.

Yeah, don't steal MLK weekend. ;)

I'm up for PTY as well though. I have never been there...

Cut it up and throw it away. Damn thing is only going to needlessly make everyone's life more expensive and hassle-prone.

Looks like the fare is good for Labor Day weekend. I might be heading to Panama...

I have to go to a wedding in Dallas over Labor Day:rolleyes: or Id go then. I think I may go ahead and book it for MLK 2009 (Belgium will be a little to expensive for me). Anyone have advise for cheap hotels or things to do?

Y is difficult enough, but not being able to raise the window armrest sucks. :mad::td: Stupid CO-738.

I suppose the CTS makes up for it. :D Big ^ to the box for that one.

I'd be game for that.

Not really. Although in this case, I assume you're flying UA, which means neither choice is all that great. But you did well in choosing the lesser of two evils.

Well, sort of. I actually took VX on the LAS-SFO leg and then had a remaining credit with United that I did the SFO-SAN leg.

I have fled to the land of my ancestors to celebrate the 4th with large quantities of Weißbier :D

ConciergeMike Jul 4, 2008 8:08 am

Anyone in The Box happen to have (or know someone who does) a hospitality background that they wouldn't mind applying to a hospital environment? I got a cold call at work yesterday as a result of LinkedIn that pitched this job - it's an executive committee spot at a large Central NJ regional hospital. Title is "Senior Manager, Guest Relations". I have an abstract if anyone so desires. Says nothing about travel :(

That's right - another global weekend in the life of ALCO. Is this the CPT trip?
