Good call. You could knock out two major Asian cities in a week with travel time...couple of days each HKG/ICN, or HKG/BKK. @:-)

Speaking of, it will be a chore staying in PH ZRH this weekend.

Forget, you going via Atlanta over there?
I'm heading that way this weekend also.
Was looking\thinking PH myself but a FA friend managed to get herself on to ATL-ZRH, they use another property...

What about Scandinavia? Fly into CPH, visit Malmo, etc and ARN? Heck, you could fly into ARN and perhaps arrange a side trip to HEL or St Petersburg? (would need a visa for that).

Those going on the Star Mega D:eek: might want to pop over to that thread...

No credit/debit accepted for reasons passing my personal understanding. Be prepared to wait a while since Texas DPS doesn't do appointments. Also, since they rolled out the new driver license format and had a computer virus shut down their license manufacturing office, of which there is only one here in Austin, there has been a back log. Normally it takes about four to six weeks to get the actual license, but I was cautioned eight to ten weeks. I got mine in about five weeks. Your mileage may vary.



It's a nice property, but it has been a while since I was there. Drove by it the other day, though. :)



I got six years and my wife got five. No rhyme or reason as far as I can tell.


Also make sure that you have another official ID to travel. I went to get my Tx DL two years ago and after I get through the whole process and the clerk has cut my old license she ask, are you traveling anytime soon. I said yes, tomorrow. I think she pooped in her pants. I said not to worry I have my passport. You would think that would be one of the first things they ask about.

If they have a week and want to do Europe, they could also do Eurostar. Why not fly into LON and out of BRU/FRA/AMS and catch some ground-level scenery via rail?

I say the changes easrlier today. Hope not much more... will head over there now.

Steph3n Aug 31, 2009 9:29 pm

If I did not have an employee out I'd be on that flight on the 5th and turning around on the 7th :D to AMS. Have a couple friends there as well.
