Nonsense. IMO, you contributed to the most important endeavor since a man was placed on the Moon - Traveling to backwater Central Asian Republics to risk life and limb on dodgy carriers operating ex-Soviet jalopys held together by duct-tape and bailing-wire. I hear the master distiller at the Bishkek Vodka Factory Tour is also Air Tajik's top-rated Yakovlev pilot. :D

I didn't say I wasn't productive, just that I wasn't doing much work.

The travel agent was pretty entertained by the fact that we all want to fly on these jalopies, particularly in a region with a less than stellar reputation for air safety. On the plus side, hopefully he'll still manage to find ways for us to get on them. ^^

Oh, it's a big pretty white plane, with wheels and stripes and curtains in the windows, and it looks like a big Tylenol.

Damn Blackberry, sorry. What I had intended to say was that I saw Shell_NYC on my LGA-IAH flight this morning. She was actually sitting in front of me. Had it not been for my FT tag on my bag we might not have recognized each other. Now I am in Cancun at the Riu Las America trying to get wasted:eek::D

Just drink the water.

That'll put you in the bathroom for different reasons. :eek:

Though I agree that there really shouldn't be much effort involved in getting drunk in Mexico.

The term "wasted" still applies. He'll just be wasting away if he drinks enough water.

Amazing how the post rate plummets on non-workdays.

Draw your own conclusions!
