:D Very true.

The swearing might be like the near extream swearing in this video (don't open at work and/or if you are sensitive to swearing, but it is funny and you have to watch the whole thing)

Awesome steaks and incredible cheeses.
Homemade guacamole.
Beer.
Finding out that beer is not allowed at Mustang Island State Park — and the fine is $500.
Shopping at HEB for things that we ended up leaving in the HGI for one of the maids. Hope she enjoys two unopened loaves of Mrs. Baird's, and a couple of packages of HEB flour tortillas, as well as the remnants of a few six packs of Modelo.
Tragic people at the beach.
Hot people at the beach.
ALCO molesting J.Edward in the front seat of a rented Honda CRV (and pics taken to prove it).
Sunburn.
Watching multiple cars getting stuck in the sand at the beach, followed by a couple of our own cars getting stuck.
Certain Box members getting really, really, really drunk and then doing things in the ocean that should not be mentioned here.
Renting The World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car, a craptastic Grand Prix from Avis that had well over 30,000 miles on it, and a smell inside that was described as "grandma's douche bag."
A certain Box founder relieving himself not once, not twice, not three times, but four times in a couple of hours in various parking lots next to said World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car.
Great baseball game at Whataburger Field.
Whataburger — multiple times.
Someone forgetting his ID, then being threatened with arrest, a phone call to the TABC, and being tossed out of the ballpark for having a beer with no ID — and the person this happened to was a good 5-10 years older than the kid threatening him.
Trying to break into the pool at the HGI after hours using the key from The World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car. This resulted in the key that that car becoming nearly unusable for starting the car.
Watching high class TV like Cheaters while drinking beer, after being locked out of the pool at the HGI. And witnessing a woman take her obese "whole lot of man love" to an all you can eat pizza buffet on a date.
Two Box members sharing a bed at the HGI, after a day of much drunkenness. Not going to speculate what happened there… They shall remain nameless, but one is named after a zoo animal and the other is about to move across the country.
Finding Dublin Dr. Pepper, made with pure Imperial brand cane sugar, in 20 oz. bottles at a convenience store in Goliad, TX.
Flying VCT-IAH, and realizing that ALCO and I doubled CO's passenger load on the flight to four passengers.

One word: :eek:

sbm12, with all the irrops tonight increasing the bump possibilities, do you think you will still be in JAX when I arrive on CO1005 at 10:41?

If that was 10:41 last night than I was already asleep in advance of my 4am wake-up today. If you meant 10:41a this morning than I better be on final at LGA from CVG by then or I'll be pissed.

Time to go see if the guy at the front desk learned how to process a VDB stay overnight. I'm betting no.

Nope...10:41 this morning. Good luck with the voucher. Hopefully your morning doesn't start off :rolleyes:

Well, I've finally signed up for and started working on entering my information into flightmemory. I've got all my business travel from 2001 & 2002 entered based on our corporate travel agency records. I don't think I'll be able to re-create my personal travel taken during that time but such is life.

The trips entered for 2007 - 2009 are barely started but I'll add more as I go. Doing this when you're 9 years behind is a royal pain the arse!

If you want to take a peek, here's the link: My FlightMemory

Time to get ready for my flight to JAX :rolleyes:

The hotel processed the voucher correctly, so that was good. The bad news is that they won't switch me and the missus on our flights so I'm on the non-stop to LGA still and she's routing through CVG. I don't get the lines/miles and she gets to NYC later. :td:

More annoyingly, the first woman at the counter completely brushed me off. She finally got the supervisor over and he bothered to spend 5 minutes reading the notes in the PNR but still couldn't/wouldn't make the change. At least he appeared to think about it and consider some options.

Neither would print off the PNR for me so I cannot see the notes and what is actually in them. That's annoying, too.

At least we'll both get home today and I got the VDB and the hotel paid for, but I'm still a bit annoyed.

DL managed to oversell my flight this morning. I knew this for the past 90 minutes I've been sitting at the airport. As soon as they opened the gate I offered my seat for one on the CO flight to EWR that leaves 20 minutes earlier. Now happily seated in 3C on CO2565 with another $200 is Delta Dollars to enjoy. :D

Indeed. I really wish they had let me change with my wife and get her back here to NYC. She is now sitting on an extra 1 hour delay on the CVG-LGA flight so not in before noon. Clearly I'll be spending some of this VDB money on a trip where she gets to go along, too, and to somewhere fun.

I also am 99% certain that I rebooked into Y on the CO flight. Not a huge deal for a 831 mile segment, but going from 50% eqm to 150% is always fun.

Morning Box! I'm enjoying a "work at home" day, as all the morning flights to DFW were sold out :) I'll head down there tomorrow.

We had an awesome anniversary dinner at Red - The Steakhouse on Saturday night. Definitely worth stopping by there if you find yourself enjoying some CLE time.

Morning, Box. I'm now intensely regretting that I didn't go to CRP. :mad:

+1, sounds like it was a fun weekend.

Aloha box.

Sounds like my weekend was about as lame as you can get compared to everyone else in the Box. I'll have to step that up for next weekend.

Because More is More*. :-:

*Unless you have too much.

Listening to the LiveATC feed of KOSH is actually making me wish I had gone to Oshkosh this week.
