Wet -- but not too wet for them to have their bag on the seat. :confused:

The conductor should have offered them a towel.

So they don't mind that their bag gets wet :rolleyes: pigs. I love when they make the annoucment that they will be more than happy to sell you a full priced ticket to use the seat for your luggage. That gets bags moved quickly.

I have not heard them make that announcement, but that would be fun to hear.

They should be given two options:

1: Remove the bag from the seat right now

2: Get off at the next stop

Well, after a few days of having basically NOTHING to do and spending most of that time in front of the computer, I started back at work yesterday - all day meetings, no laptops allowed. All I got were a few gleeful text messages from tjtenor4 about booking 3 insane MSP-GEG routings for 16K BIS miles and...clearly by the time I got out for the day they'd pulled the fare. Awesome.

Fun times - I think he spent the evening sleeping at NYP and taking a 5 a.m. train back to the Shore.

I spent the night in NYP back in March, after a delayed LGA arrival...I missed the last train to Trenton by less than 10 minutes. Thankfully I'd slept on the plane and was able to keep myself awake until 5-something AM...

Just make sure you time your trip right.:rolleyes: Did you even have to ask? :rolleyes:

"The boys" are doing MUC the first weekend in October. 6 of them. Apparently it will be "epic"... meanwhile, I am trying to convince two of my girlfriends to take one Monday off in early Feb. and go wherever in Europe there seems to be a good deal. It's currently a hard sell, apparently. :(

It sounds like you'd have more fun going with "The boys" than the :rolleyes: girls.

You'll need to use your ticket (or pay ~$5) to exit at EWR. If you want to re-use/refund your ticket you will want to just pay the exit fee. ;)
