None of the above?

dotBomb is not behaving nicely with my attempts to program access to it. :(

The trick to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss. :-:

I hope the recent deluge of Box requests for BD status matches isn't holding up the posting of my missing miles. :D

I don't even need to wait for my card - I'll be OK seeing the status updated in my profile. I'll then ask the Box for advice on routings ;)

The are zero hotels on site at the SFO airport. There is one further down the road. I am assuming it would be in Burlingame.

My bad. I have no idea the Sheraton is now a Hilton. Guess that's why their neon sign was missing a few bulbs.

Yup...that's pretty much how I program. The fact that any of it works is a minor miracle.

For chocolate lovers, they also have miniature Kit Kats and Ghirardelli chocolate squares. I've been very impressed by the snack selection at the ORD RCC.

Yep. I've got some of that chocolate in my computer bag right now.

They need to open the Bay Bridge soon. This traffic mess is getting old.

Ugggghhhh...just missed. :(

BTW, remember that the sooner you change from 3-Yr to Life the more of the membership you save. Thus you may save more with CO by changing membership now than the taxes you would save next year.

:-: good tip...thanks.

I'd get a new accountant. Seriously. The IRS has published guidelines stating in rather certain terms that lounge memberships are not deductable.

Just one of many citations is here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/20474252/T...-9781413307825. Search for the word "airline" and you'll see it.

ETA: Here is a post on FT that has the actual code citation:

Wow....I had no idea about that....I've got it bookmarked and will show it to my accountant next year. Interesting that that citation was written before WiFi was invented.....the usefulness of airline clubs to conduct business in has completely changed since then. Oh well. :rolleyes:

I'm considering just dropping off the grid for the day. No BB, no email, no nothing. PHL-CLE-PHX-IAH-PHL on 12/7, same day with three hours in Phoenix. 6am to 11pm.

Don't forget to wave to Mom & Dad GadFly when you get to PHX :D

Mine for the taking.

Congrats Steve Gadfly.

Whatever you are doing seems to work rather well. Have enjoyed the fruits of your labor (Blog and Travel Tools) so far. ^

The KL jet in the background reminds me - did anyone needing luggage tags order the KLM ones? Yes, I used a CO Do IV photo again.
