We're glad you are at the BR.

Westin SFO is fine. I got overnighted there when my UA 744 to SYD went tech (for a nice, 22-hour delay :rolleyes:)

Any ideas on where you're going to stay in D.C.?

WN is bringing them in low tonight over Houston... That's the first time our place has ever shook.

You are in early for the redeye tonight.....BTW the CO concourse there at D has plenty of outlets when you have to move that way. There is a skyclub over there somewhere with wifi they close at 2pm but wifi is still on and open :D

i was mostly using EVDO but that area is in a tower gap as sometimes it would drop to 1x and get slow and then switch back to EVDO.

Go to the RCC, the LGA Pclub has to be the worst in the system. Friendly employees but the bathroom is ancient and reeks, the entire club is old old old and smells it.

There are actually PHONE BOOTHS in the luggage storage room.

the lighting and decor is all dark and gloomy like this pic, should have turned flash on.

Just up from my nap - I have trouble with the shifting of the seasons in the fall. Decided I deserve shrimp and collard greens for dinner.

So THAT'S where Clark Kent goes to change to these days.

It's a repost, but it's the closest I have to Clark:

Just pulled up my YTD AmEx statement to figure out my total amount spent on travel this year (remarkably less than $4,200, even with BOS, Hockey Do, and LAS already incorporated).

On the YTD total, my "Other" category was 67% of overall spending. Wonder what "Other" could include ...

When I arrived at LGA 5 hours before my flight I got on the earlier flight with no charge, so no idea I only had 30 min and spent it at the pclub...note it is outside security.

Thank you all for the sentiments.

Yeah, I'm here early. I left out some details, but this morning I actually switched my flight to the 12:13pm departure. After getting checked out by paramedics at the airport, I decided to fly. After I board, it kept nagging at me, and so I decided to get off and get checked out after all. Better be safe than sorry, and not be "that guy" that gets a flight diverted. :p

I will have to check out the skyclub wifi. Thanks for the tip!
