TK J, SA J on A342, and UA J on a 763 (hopefully refurbed).

This itinerary better still be available by the end of the month when I can book it...

I'm actually looking to do a similar routing, but I don't have sufficient BD points yet. I think that is an outstanding routing.

This may very well be my Thanksgiving study holiday.

I'm thinking Alex can't feel that emotion, but there may some folks at CO that do ;)

Thanks to both of you. I've got this future-planning bug...I know that as soon as I start making real money again, I'm going to get a new pistol. I want something that I like now and will enjoy, but I also want something that will transition to a carry rig easily should I move out of Teh Peeple's Republik. SR9 seems to fit that bill the best, in addition to not having the wallet-destroying qualities of Sig or Kimber. I also want something that my fiancee can grow into, as she is still happy at the .22 level.

I have a friend who is left-handed and he has glocks and sigs and is used to just using his left index finger for the mag release. I'm not up to date on current models out there right now, but if you want something customizable then consider a compact 45 where you can put on ambidextrous safeties.

As for something inexpensive now, I learned long ago that you get what you pay for so it's best to buy quality and if need to, save up for it. In the long run you'll be much more satisfied.

I'm sure there are people in Houston :rolleyes: because of the questions that are being asked. I see the posted link to see Alex w/o the password has gone :rolleyes:

I did not realize there was one -- anyone have a copy of it? :D

All of UA 763s have been converted to have the new cabin. So, if they don't swap the 763 for a 777, you should be okay. :rolleyes:

That is a very cool itinerary, and I believe all the UA 763s are refurbished.

ALCO would be flying the shape of a dialog box.

US is offering a double miles promotion on purchased miles for now. Halves the 2.5cpm fee to 1.25 cpm plus $30 fee (plus some excise 'tax', I think). 50K mile limit (+50K bonus) 'per transaction.' US' award chart isn't too bad...
