Hope they go well! ^

Sounds like we may need a Mini-DO in Houston to celebrate... ;)

So you quit your job, packed up, and moved to HOUSTON??? If I remember correctly you followed the fiance there? What industry are you in?

Good luck with the interviews.

Probably not in most cases, although I remember when CO was testing the current 777 BF seats several of the executives spent the night sleeping in them at HQ.

Well for a few days it looked like I was going to have to bow out of the Astros Do in August. But last night we talked about it and it's going to work out that I can still be in Houston that weekend! Now if YX can just stay in business long enough for me to use my award ticket I have booked to get me there and back.

Stupid Partner/RTW desk closes at 7 Central Time :rolleyes:. And here I am, having finally tracked down flight availability for almost every segment of the honeymoon:

IAH-MEX(x)-TIJ-NRT-CTS(x)-NRT-ICN-BKK(x)-HKT(x)-BKK-SVO-AMS(x)-NCE(x)-CDG-MEX-IAH

The bits in Red are tag-ons that I will procure with *A mileage (or just purchase outright), and the (x)'s are stopovers. I only wish I could check KE availability on NRT-ICN-BKK, as that's the only bit I can't check availability for. I even managed to work an SU IL-96-300 BKK-SVO into the Honeymoon :D :D :D

Does the future MRS ALCO know about this routing? ;)

Almost 26k miles - well done! ^ I like the addition of the SU IL-96-300 as well. Best of luck booking it all!

Very nicely done. There's always NRT-BKK on NW as a backup option, or the CZ/KQ NRT-CAN-BKK option if you need other options, though CO miles cannot be redeemed for KQ. And the all CZ routing might have a forced overnight in CAN.

As an added bonus for me I only had to look up one of the codes (CTS). :D

Wow! I'm impressed, especially if the bride-to-be isn't a FTer. How much time elapses IAH-IAH? All in the pointy end, I hope?

ALCO, this isn't a MR, right, you're actually making stops and enjoying your time together? :)

I am in a Hilton Garden Inn in RDU drinking screwcap wine out of a coffee mug. Life can't get any better than this. :rolleyes:

Look at the bright side - it could be a plastic cup! :)

Good point. Or I could be in a dry town in Arkansas. Guess life is looking up. ;)

I don't think I've ever felt such devastation! Then I found out that my husband lived in a dry town for five years. Oh good grief!
