That sounds difficult.

My computer crashed (gotta love Vista) while listening to a song called Plane Crash.

It is 0330 and I have to be at work at 0900. Bachelor party in NYC tonight was fun but now I smell like strippers. And I think I just won a limbo contest on a random street corner.

I live a very strange life.

The outbound's tricker -- if you can see the delay before you leave SEA you might be able to push for a reroute to EWR and then connect on the n/s to HNL (and then GUM >> NRT) but once you get to IAH, you're in somewhat of a bind to get east as the only other CO options are out of EWR -- and there might not be a CO service to get you to EWR in time to connect.

I think the best play would be to have the ticket FIM'd over as you could claim original routing credit with all bonuses and double dip onto another alliance.

All very good points, particularly with respect to pushing the ticket over to another carrier/alliance. Since I have Delta PM as a well, I think the best bet is to push the ticket to Delta/NWA/Korean Air if CO's longhaul clusterf!ck strikes during Thanksgiving weekend.

Better yet, assuming the screwup takes place in Houston on outbound, I know exactly which flight I wanna get rebooked on -- Aeromexico's MEX-TIJ-NRT 777! Departs MEX at 10:05 PM, so plenty of time to get down to MEX on CO or AM metal.

Indeed, but dinner and gifts here were last night since I have to go home tomorrow.

No - I refuse to play a Pete Dye course until my handicap is in the teens. I've read enough to know just how evil some of the subtleties of his design work can be. I hardly played this year for job loss reasons, and I have told myself that rather than course play the money I spend on golf as soon as there is money to spend again will be with a teaching pro who would not object to me handing him or her the Pelz short game book and going through it step by step.

Plus, despite that Indy is a Dye course, the website does an atrocious job of marketing the course. I heard about it, went to the site, and almost didn't believe that the course is famous as it is.

My highlights so far w/r/t courses played are Mahogany Run, Royal St. Kitts, and Bethpage Black. I did play Seaview Marriott, the former LPGA tour site...I was very underwhelmed.

I've forgotten the particular scent of strippers.

Morning, Box.

The Box is more than a hospitality related resource, it is a resource for the answers of life!!
