She knows I hang out in the Box, but she would never read FT. She thinks it's geeky.

Good idea. I could also not include this trip at all. :mad: No clue what to do...

And you're thinking the RJ isn't it?

Haha. Actually, yeah, a little. She doesn't handle mainline that well...and I quote: "I don't like takeoff and landing. At cruise I'm OK." :confused:

We are doing my family's Christmas in FLL. Could go on the beach then.

Wow, you are a patient man! Good for waiting for the right time if there isn't a time during this trip that will work.

Seriously. Saturday was completely lost on me. We "rocked out" 'till the wee hours Saturday monring...I was completely useless the rest of the day. The pups had to go out a couple of times, and I survived that, but that's it. This morning was a fresh start: went out for a run at 7:30a...followed by a nap ;) until the afternoon soccer game. :D

Hmm - the WC agent just announced the boarding of a NW flight to "Skip-all" airport. That's a new one...

Also, the Cab they serve here tastes like cheap grape juice. Oh how I long for some premium wines...

Yes, I'm bored... :D

CM: My only advice is to not do anything too obvious expecting perfection. I was proposed to on the beach where I first really connected /hooked up with the fiance. All nice and sweet and all except that it had been 4 yrs since our first/last trip there and it was pretty obvious what was coming....and, well, it didn't turn out as planned. I said yes but it just wasn't meant to be.

I don't mean to be a big downer here in The Box, just saying that you need to know what's really going on in there before proposing......

I had a Sangria today that tasted like Mad Dog. Okay, I've never had Mad Dog, but it's what I envisioned it would taste like. Blech.

Pick a time that is right. It won't matter nearly as much where you are when you do it as much as the actually doing it part. Odds are you'll do something silly/strange/predictable/crazy during the act anyways, so there will be a story to tell and the real story is that you actually did it.

If 10pm the night before the flight is the time to do it then do it. If it is on the beach, do it. I had a grand plan and it went all to hell. My secondary plan fell apart too. I still managed to pull it off and the story ended up being fun because of that, plus the fact that I actually did it.

S.

You just quoted my fiance to the T. Could they be long lost sisters?

Note to ConciergeMike. Don't go planning a "romantic" place or a specific time for this proposal. Just do it any time when you are both looking into each other's eyes knowing how much love is there and how much the two of you like being together. This can happen any time, anywhere, and you both will remember it forever.

Just my 2 cents.

That would be a deal breaker for me, of course I am single right now so who am I to talk...:cool::p

Or just find someone with an equally geeky obsession, and call it even. My partner is crazy about cars and spends just about as much time on car forums as I spend on here.

I used to be a poster of similar frequency to here on 7thGenCivic.com, but I found it to be full of immature kids and very few enthusiast-like adults. My old nom d' post was an homage to Full Metal Jacket: the name was NoLeadEmSoMuch. Tagline under the name? "How can you shoot women and children? Easy..."

Re: proposal - good points of advice all, thanks very much. I'm thinking the night before the flight will be the way to go, because she absolutely won't see it coming. Then she's the one more liable to do something goofy. I don't think I could sit on the ring til December, either. Now the question is if I can secretly record it...her lil Canon PowerShot does video. :D
