I am supposed to be flying out of EWR. 20 minutes ago the weather turned quite :rolleyes: The thunder is unbelieveably loud. I can hardly see the aircraft at C123 from the C3 PC.

Get comfy...

I do like the European routing for EZE; would you spend time there or just do it for the flights?

The pricing is definitely a good deal for what we are getting; it is just the actual cash outlay of up to $3,000 that I would like to minimize given the other personal trips I have to take before the end of the year.

I could go either way on the EWR/JFK events. It seems like, in theory, at least, this will not be a once-in-a-lifetime-type event, so I am not concerned if I miss those by taking a non-charter TATL. The highlight for me would be the events in Europe.

I would definitely spend a couple of days in EZE since I've never been there. I guess we'll see.

That is the idea, if it is possible.

Can barely see across the river downtown right now, and can't see the Statue of Liberty at all. It is nasty out there.

I was just on the phone with the elite desk confirming that EK confirmed our reward seats to MRU & CPT:

Agent: Wow, everything looks good. You would like to ticket these?

MBM3: Yes, please do so.

Agent: Well, taxes will be $86 and Mrs. MBM3 will have a reservations center fee...

MBM3: A reservation center fee for a reward ticket that can not be booked online?

Agent: Yes, Mr. MBM3, I must charge the fee. Yours is waived as a Platinum.

MBM3: May I please speak to your supervisor?

Agent: Certainly.

Agent: I have customer service on the line. They will assist you with these records from here.

MBM3: Thank you (wondering how my request for a supervisor ended up customer support)

Agent2: Hello Mr. MBM3

MBM3: Hello

DEAD AIR

MBM3: Hello? Hello? Hello?

DEAD AIR

Agent: Sorry Mr. MBM3, I stayed on the line and it seems she dropped off. Let me try again.

MBM3: Okay thank you.

Agent2: Sorry about that Mr. MBM3

MBM3: That's okay

DEAD AIR

MBM3: Hello? Hello? Hello? Unbelievable


I mean seriously, why does it need to be so hard?

My head is spinning from all this travel theorizing.

I'm glad I'm not flying around the NE this week.

I think I've settled on the Acer Aspire One AOD150 (10.1" with 6 cell battery) as my netbook. This would make my desktop, flatscreen, and netbook all from the same company. Giving myself a couple more days to ponder the purchase but know that after multiple discounts, I can have it on my doorstep for $290 shipped (no sales tax).

I generally am happy with my Aspire One.

I thought so as well - still an added expense to my personal budget after many years of carrying one (and sometimes two) "desktop-replacement" work-issued laptops.

Question for the box. Should I send a cover letter/resume to someone at the end of the day or do it so they see the e-mail in the morning? I'm just wondering if I sent something now it would get lost and forgotten in the hecticness of the end of the day compared to the expected going through everthing first thing in the morning.
