'Night Box!

Have a great time. I, myself, am ready to sleep considering I need to sleep in tomorrow. Oddly, this is my 50th post today in the Box -- 2 days in a row. I am concerned... :rolleyes:

I need to get to bed as well - graduating some adults in the morning.

The stays count double promo along with the rollover should put me at Platinum by the end of February.

Ir has never been easier to qualify for hotel status and I guess that *wood needs to institute an ueber plat level, be it formal or informal.

Good morning, box.

I'm not even going to try to catch up on the preceeding 10 pages of PWP that have occurred in the last 24 hours.

My :rolleyes: for the day.... my cell phone went missing sometime between 7:30a and 9:00a yesterday morning. Have a few more places to check this morning before I declare it lost. At least it is still ringing when I call it. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I've been a graduate student, so in principle, I agree, but this depends on the context (e.g., Mr. Tequila tequila vs. decent bourbon -- I'd pay for the latter every time).

That's the place with the purple bedspreads, right?

AAA is apparently offering a discount on t-Mobile plans for both existing and new customers. Too bad their signals are so spotty in our neighborhood/house.

So... that said, we will be in HNL from 2/5 -2/8. It will likely be my first of 4 trips over there next year. ^ Lovely Lisa will be with me for 3 of 4.

Who's in for Waikiki? :D:cool::-: FFN's at Hyatt make this a great trip! ^

What a fun trip! ^ Wish I could go -- but can't get away then!:rolleyes:

Didn't realize that you'd be there that weekend, too. That makes 3 of us. ^^

If you guys like sushi I had a great (and very affordable) time at Morio's there. We could go back, though getting a table or seat at the sushi bar can be difficult. It is tiny and pretty popular.

Ah...either way, I'm all about saving the points. I tend not to go for luxury hotels since once I'm sleeping, I can't remember anything, and I don't tend to stay at the hotel when I'm at my destination.

Couldn't agree more. I've mostly given up on hotel status as a result. I stay at off-brand properties internationally and generally love them.

I find that, much like worry, there is a :rolleyes: box.

You see, most people have a worry box. The worry box is always full. Sometimes it may have lots of little worries in it; other times it may have one huge worry and a few other smaller worries to keep it full. But the worry box is always full.

I believe the same thing may apply to :rolleyes:, especially if you ask belynch. You may have removed this particular :rolleyes: from your :rolleyes: box, but something else will come along soon enough to fill it back up.

It is the :rolleyes: of things.

Of course, it's subject to change, since if I get the job I applied for, there would be about 75-100 Hilton nights a year from that, so I'd easily make Diamond there.

Morning Box, good luck with job applied for. When you get it, get a Hilton CC too with that many nights(and a shame you can't share the love) that would be some serious pointage
