My better half is excited about the prospect, heh.

Maybe by then you will be making 100k a month and can finance our habits :D

I try to keep a spare liver on hand, iced-down and ready to rumble, on each continent (except Antartica... no bars there). For some reason, the Ukrainians stopped selling me orphans. :rolleyes:

While Teh Box may be full of *wood fans, I think if I go, I'll be staying at a Marriott property.
I just got my *wood stati-match but would likely be open to sharing a room with someone.


Has anyone booked flights yet? Are y'all doing reward travel or paid? If paid, are you flying in Y or upgrading?

Nope, but I will be looking at both options. CO will be paid flight in Y but I will be looking into redeeming AA on BA in Biz tonight.

Beer and wine are free throughout the flight. However, I will have to drink a good quantity before even getting on the aircraft. A 752 in Y across the pond is :rolleyes:

Yup....my boss told me to have one ready in case I need to go to Germany on October/November. I even get to expense the $75 ^

You guys are a bad influence on me.....making me act/consume like I did in college. Back then, I put on the "Freshman 15".....now that I'm older and my metabolism isn't what it used to be, I think I'm looking at the "FlyerTalk 40" :rolleyes:

If Ms. GadFly decides not to come, then I'd be up for sharing a room. If she does, then not so much.

As much as it pains me, i'll likely end up at a Marriott. I'm only at 21 out of 75 nights for the year.

Ahhh 6th street. Let's not forget about 2nd Street. Beer on 6th and hard alcohol on 2nd. :)

I've had many long nights over at Malaga.

Just make sure you time your trip right.

:rolleyes: Did you even have to ask? :rolleyes:

I think I had a bit too much NW espress:eek:

I'm on a FULLY PACKED Amtrak regional train to Neuva York. We haven't even hit Trenton yet and we are standing room only. Is that even allowed? :-:
