Yeah the Arboretum was a trek, eh? :p :D :D Wish they would bring the porcupine shrimp back...

My office is down there so it really isn't that bad but Avery Ranch is next door so it's mo bettah.

What we really need up here is a Freebirds.

No Freebirds in Cedar Park? They need to get after it. :)

Did I miss anything in the Box Saturday?

We have someone in the home who's been in the restroom most of the last three hours. Yes, it's 0106 and I'm still up after drinking all day.

Did MS just poop on my award?!
 

Just had the following booked:Found seats on ANA, called in and told the agent the routing I wanted and he booked the two seats I needed. (^)

However when I looked at the award he booked us into EasyPass F on the CO segments (IAH-DCA, DFW-IAH) causing the award to price out at 300,000 per person as oppose to the normal 160,000.

Sigh.

Call back into CO. Explain that "O" is the correct booking code. Agent: "we don't have O, oh wait, there it is. Okay, I can plug it in but it looks like MS did not confirm your CAI-NBO flight."

Sigh.

Told her not to do anything and that I'd just call back in the morning. Either way I've got a PDF and email of the trip so I'm hoping CO's system is just "confused" (it is Saturday night afterall and what self-respecting GDS system is not pounding the brews on a party night?)

Only other back up plan is doing IAH-GRU-JNB for the outbound (as getting there's the hard part, space coming back is considerably more open.)

Wish me luck.

J.Edward out.

Wait - isn't at least one still in Europe and drinking?

Good luck - sounds like an awesome itinerary.

Two that I'm aware of. The other hasn't posted in days.

Hey CM! So glad that the arnica worked -- it's a homeopathic anti-inflammatory -- you can get it at Whole Fds, etc. -- great for muscle aches & the like. I should have just given you the tube -- it would've been good for the back spasm, too.

I was awake for most of my flight back to EWR -- watched 3 movies & 2 documentaries!:D

Now just trying to figure out when I am going to fall back asleep -- clearly on FRA time now!:rolleyes:

I'm still here. I also managed to not book a hotel room for tonight. Whoopsie. The good news is that the hotel I thought I booked on a pre-paid rate is apparently a dump so I get away from that. But now I need to find a room that won't cost me an arm and a leg.

Glad to hear that you're still functioning!;) Good luck w/getting a reasonably priced room!

Thanks --

Called back today and it looks like we were able to get everything straightened out. Found space on LH via Angola with a slightly less bast*rdized connection.

Biggest question know is what Visa(s) we need.

Meh. Cross that bridge when we get there. :)

Do you need my help(miles) with these? Im going over to NJ today so just send me an emial if you do.

Congrats - that seems to be pretty extensive itinerary indeed.
