I'm lusting after that GRU-JNB FM line...

BD allows it. It's technically a shorter routing than U.S.--->Europe--->S. Africa, but that won't necessarily stop CO from being :rolleyes:.

My mom sent me an email letting me know they wouldn't be spending Christmas with us because it would be too hard on my dad (my dad has alzheimer's so I have sympathy to a point) although it's a long weekend. Instead, after we go to a NYE party, we'll go there and celebrate Christmas on New Year's Day. I'm sorry, but that is :rolleyes:. I'm letting off steam here, because I'm upset. I'll handle it fine without them and it's not like we've spent Christmas together for the past 8 years, but seriously, sending me an email when you said you'd call to talk to me about it?

Home with BL JR and she wanted to watch the Nanny Diaries (her choice); she wanted to know what the word adultary meant :eek: G movies only going forward!

One of these days I'm going to have to experience this madness.

I had a reward booking on US that went from JNB - GIG - JFK. Too bad Varig had to go belly up. :rolleyes:

I dunno if she's into this sort of thing but my wife and I saw the new Christmas Carol movie and while we both thoroughly enjoyed it, we also both agreed that it was probably not for younger kids. It gets downright scary in several places and intense in others. Just some FYI. :)

I think I could find plenty to keep me occupied in Glacier National Park, Jackson Hole, Badlands of South Dakota, and Mt. Rushmore.

ssullivan and gbryan84, looks like Hyatt is honouring the mistake rate for the Andaz WeHo.

I haven't emailed the GM yet, but this is ^.

I will have to let a friend know.

Looking at the menu for my EWR-BRU flight this month, there's not a mushroom to be seen on the menu. The beef option is the veal osso buco, chicken is tandoori, seafood is a medley of sea bass and lobster, and pasta has artichoke, arugula, and mixed vegetables.

I have had nothing but good experiences with BF. I will say that the Osso Buco is very tasty!!

Why would you want to go to North Dakota?

Looks pretty cool! ^

I'm not sure I'll even bother bidding on it as it will probably go for some ridiculously high amount.

To determine whether it is more :rolleyes: than Delaware.

I can save you the trouble, it is more :rolleyes: than the land of blue hens.

Why not?

Although I've never visited the state, I'm actually thinking about buying some acreage there. Not surprisingly, land up there isn't too expensive.
