Well it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be here in DC. I did sweat in my suit but I wasn't drenched.

Ok, those of you with magic 8 balls: I've got a seat on the 910PM flight tonight IAH-LAX #1095. SeatCounter shows it as zeroed out. I don't need to be there by any set day/time, so I'll gladly take any bumps they offer. Do you think they'll offer them?? ... I have no clue how many they overbook this route by, but I'll find out when I get to IAH.

My crystal ball says, "Ask again."

Depends on what equipment they are going to use tonight. Either your flight is grossly overbooked or under by 20+ seats.

She said, ahh, I know what you are doing and it is wrong. We got a memo about that somewhere; I am going to look it up to see if we can take your deposit. I explained to her I am a customer with a deposit and she really has no right to question me or deny my deposit and I don’t appreciate her negative attitude. Let’s just say I won’t be returning to that branch. I called the manager at my branch and explained the situation to her and she was more than happy to accept my coins from now on because she said she has several customer that routinely order dollar coins for their vending operations. ^

I also opened another Chase checking account today and will be opening another tomorrow and a business account once I figure out how to pull that off :cool:

I have a few orders on "Hold". One order for 5K on my AMEX, another order for 6.5K on my AMEX and 11.25K on my Chase CO M/C :eek:

ETA: It feels :cool: to have 15K in my checking account, even it it's only sitting there for a week.

kingalien, what's the story behind those intriguing international FM lines (SFB-LIM-IPC-APW-CNS-etc.)?

I did a RTW trip earlier this year on TCS Expeditions. I'm fortunate to have family members that love me and took me with them after I begged and pleaded :D. I do have some pics and one of these days will put it on aeroporn.
