Hey MBM3, for whatever it's worth, I have been having a hell of a time accessing global7travel sites lately. Tracert reports the server in PHX, and I do have somewhat of an odd routing but not enough to take fifteen to twenty seconds to render a page. I don't think the issue is on my side but I could be wrong.

Heh, I did not notice that, that's pretty awesome.

I've been experiencing the same delays here as well.

The HHonors website keeps giving me this message when I try and add my BD number to my profile. This has been happening for weeks, so the "try again later" is :rolleyes:.

ETA: I got it in there now. Apparently they just aren't set up to accept the newer BD numbers.

I should perhaps thing about BD for the StarMegaDO for my LH earnings.

Have a great trip!

A report on what the NFL is doing at Wembley will follow in this space. :)

If you sense the flight being longer than scheduled, ask the FA to call the captin and make sure he is awake! :)

Well sounds like he has secured free drinks along the way to make up for it!!

Box thoughts on a Western Australia DO for early-mid March? Perth and/or Exmouth/Ningaloo Reef and/or Christmas Island? SYD is overdone. Time to get some new FM lines. :-:

This sounds very cool!! Will have to look at doing this!!

I think you should post all of your thoughts about the trip, including the scalping. ^^

Me three. Sometimes it's lightning quick and sometimes it's 15 seconds or worse.

Well at least I know I'm not crazy. Latency was fine in the tracert so I was figuring it was disk I/O or something.

Mike, will the *Do get you to an elite status on CO or are you crediting to another program?

Everything is going to CO, so I'll get Silver out of the deal. I don't know what I will finish the year at because I don't know the crediting rate for UA F and LH C will be. I also have my Christmas trip on US in Y, so there's another 2K or so tacked on in December. I won't be close enough to attempt Gold, and I don't even know if I'll be able to keep Silver past next year given how unknown everything is personally...I might well be moving for a job in the next few months.

Where are you considering?

I had no problem adding the BD account I created last week immediately after making the account.

I'll get you a link to it when I get home and you can use/not use it at your discretion. I was just messing around a bit. Power of suggestion.;)

The original opportunity that I heard about in Bethlehem, PA is looking like it might come to pass. I don't know too much about it yet, but I have several connections up there that are actively searching for me, one of whom is a Director of HR at the new Las Vegas Sands property.

Who supplied you the shot of my face to work in to the onion?
