It's a nice day out. It seemed rather strange putting the rest of the few decorations I put up outside while wearing a T-shirt. I was nice to leisurely doing that and making sure it's done nice for a change. Normally I'm in a rush because it's so cold out and my hands are freezing. Then I took care of cutting back the dieing flowers. I had to leave the good ones because there were too many bees around them. I'm still amazed that my rose bush is still flowering.

Cute kid. You could tell he enjoyed the game from that photo.

Oh dear. It's not like you have enough :rolleyes: to deal with.

I have a nice new haircut at this time. Guess I'll go do my recycling now.

Whiskey Tango.

CO Supervisor: to get from CDG to MLE you have to fly over the Pacific.
Me: Nope.
CO Supervisor: Yes sir.
Me: Check a map.
CO Supervisor: I don't have to.
Me: ... apparently you do.
CO Supervisor: Let me transfer you.
Me: ... okay. (thinking: to the map room?)

Wow.

So, clearly, they can't figure out how to ticket it via the Atlantic so they want to force you to fly over the Pacific.

No, that wasn't it. The person I was speaking with was just geographically challenged. She was convinced that MLE was in the S. Pacific and not the Indian Ocean.

I was being transferred to the rewards desk when she came back on the line, I heard her say to someone (not me): "I don't know how to do this. I'm just going to keep him on hold until he drops the call."

So, I hung up. :mad::mad::rolleyes:

Hello, Box, from the CLE Penalty Box, where apparently I will be amusing myself for the next 30 minutes as there's incoming congestion around PHL.

This E145 is EXTREMELY cozy. :rolleyes:

That is worthy of a new thread.

+1, indeed. Unreal .....

I was thinking the same thing. Also an e-mail to we don't care may be inorder.

I don't know if you've read teh Hitchhiker's Guide, but your tales of booking woes invariably remind me of the "rain god" in the book. Replace "rain" with :rolleyes:, and it's a perfect fit. :-:

In all seriousness, sorry to hear you're having such fits with teh honeymoon bookings. Perhaps you should just try placing a call to the RTW desk. It will almost guarantee that you get a good agent.

I just discovered that connecting KL-CO at DFW with a 01:30 layover is not recommended for keeping stress levels down. Also, AMS-DFW didn't really do much to distinguish itself on my FM map. It's just part of the amorphous TATL blob that stretches from Texas, through the Midwest and Northeast, to Northwestern Europe.

I also have to say I prefer the MD-11 with the new interior to the A332 (which has the same interior as the MD-11). Better interior cabin layout (easier access to lavs from J cabin) and the MD-11 felt roomier. That, along with the Aerogeek intangibles, made it a :-:

It's the Customer Service Rep equivalent of 'hang up and call again'.

I know. I had to try 4 agents until I found one who would let me change from NRT-IAH-SEA to NRt-EWR-SEA to get ship 13 with the lie flat seats.

I enjoyed the article in the print edition this morning and love it even more now that I saw your post. ^^

I don't know what you are talking about ;)

I did a variation of this with a jagoff of a neighbor in college. He called the cops on us so often that they apologized when they came over, already knowing we were a solid group of guys. We even bought them a night at a nice hotel for our annual blowout, yet they refused to go. He owned a business in town and knew the mayor well, so the PD had no choice but to respond. :mad:

After months of this doodoo I came upon a profound idea while at a truck stop during a road trip. We collected those subscription cards from all of the XXX magazines and filled out subscriptions to his business address for months and years to follow. :cool:
