It's been there for a few months (at least) - I discovered it on the way home from the Central NJ Mini Do.

Another of the St Regis. I screwed up posting this one earlier.

Best of luck.

Do you need any tips for HHH or are you all set?

Ooohhh, I would LOVE some! I'm here every year this week with the fam (we have a timeshare) but they are definitely creatures of habit. I'll happily take all the dining/activity/etc tips that you want to offer!

OK, that makes sense - I've only flown out of PHL once (before today) since March, and it must have been a slowish hour of the day.

This one was an all-elite-tiers (plus F) line. The last one I went through, at BWI, was for Gold and Plat only. What are some of the other airports that do the latter criteria? (not that it matters for me right now, just curious!)

It was OK this morning in Boca Raton but at 11AM when I sat down in the airplane at FLL, the skies opened. The flight was delayed a few minutes and then a smooth ride to LGA with pleasant weather indeed making it easy to follow the Expressway visual to LGA 31.

Just as well for us that we're using this weekend for a quick pick-up-the-mail hit-and-run to NY. :)

We've been out of South Broward for a while now so tell us the name of the Italian place on Young's Circle. Good restaurants come and go in Hollywood and few have ever been able to make a go of it there.

You'll all have better italian that I will tonight - using an Olive Garden gift card while on my mini-mattress run ...

Time to head out - have a monstrous list of places to visit in order to help the U.S. economy.

Food - check out the Boathouse (near the back gate to HH Plantation on Squire Pope). It's on the west side of the island so the sunsets are ^. It's off the beaten path a bit so it's more of a locals spot than tourists. Food is consistently good too.

Old Oyster Factory is heavily touristed, but good. Off Matthews on the marsh in the center of the island. Also can't go wrong with Alexander's in PD near the circle that spins you off to either the Hilton or the Marriott.

211 Park Plaza (near the Harris Teeter on the South end) is good and also more of a locals spot. Brick Oven Pizza in the same plaza as well.

Best burgers on the island are at Harold's, near the Exxon on 278 close to Burke's Beach. Good breakfasts too.

Wherever you go, get the shrimp and grits. They're ^.

Activities - hmmm... its HH. Beach. Golf. Tennis. Rinse and repeat. It's a fun place to go Kayaking if you're into something a little more different. It can get pretty darn hot though. There's a load of fishing charters as well. Can't really recommend one over another.

Legendary (mini) golf near Wild Wings is much more challenging than its sister course off 278 across from Leamington.

Drinking (the official sport of HH), I recommend the Triangle near Sea Pines Circle with HH Brew Pub and the Lodge. Wild Wings is an institution. Say hi to the picture of my brother over the bar if you go there.

Avoid the HH Diner at all costs.

It appears that CO has relegated many of the BWI-CLE flights to CHQ CRJ's. :rolleyes:

Overall a good day at sandy hook and we are waiting on the ferry. I am starving.

Just played poker for almost 3 hours and went away with a 35 cent profit. :rolleyes:

Yes, but think of all the experience you gained.

So you're saying just the act of playing has made me a richer man? I think you're spending too much time in the far-east :p

Another low point in PHL sports history ...
