A few of the major roads (e.g. "Atlantic" / "Pacific") have now been cleared - looks like they want some additional tourists to get in. I did the loop at Bally's and they had zero table games open.

You could always do the typical tourist bit and try to find all of the streets on the Monopoly board. Only one is not in Atlantic City proper.

Bally's is an infamously poor table game house. They have a 12-spot bus garage for a reason: the metric butt-tons of slot players that take direct buses to Bally's.

If you want tables, Borgata or Harrah's is the place to go; for poker: Borgata, Taj, Trop - in that order.

Two way too strong drinks and a trip to Friday's should be considered as an alternative colonoscopy prep procedure.

Sounds yummy ..... if only I were a little closer to ACY. We're having chicken/cheese/rosemary ravioli with a creamy tomato sauce.

Tonight is more strip steak, wings, and stir-fry with noodles.

Attack of the bolt

SFOgate, I believe the owner's might get upset with me if I dump grounds on poopy puppy. Not to mention the cleaning crew.

1A is now ready for his predepart beverage before heading to SEA.

Must be some good tail winds heading over that way- showing 20 mins late on departure but arriving 20 mins early

I have been to three of the five, only one with my kids. :o In my experience, there are two kinds of adults in the American Girl Doll store: mothers with one or more girls in tow, all of the girls dressed like their dolls (and sometimes the mothers are too); or men in suits on cell phones with their wives saying, "what am I supposed to get again?"

Sadly the puppy dog's digestive system 2 rows back wishes we had gotten to the gate just a tad earlier

Someone fed him beef jerky?

Hallelujah. I wonder whether he will hire himself to coach.

Is it true that you can't upgrade an international ticket with miles on DL unless the fare class is M or higher? Yowza.

WOW!!

I just called US Scareways to ensure my seat assignment. Here is the conversation:

Agent: Hello

Me: I need to reconfirm a seat assignment

Agent: (silence)

Me: It is confirmation number ******

Agent: OK

Me: I wanted to make sure I have 2F

Agent: Yes

Me: Ok thanks

Agent: (silence)


What have I gotten myself into. I wanted a new line, aircraft, and lounge experience but I got the customer service experience for free!! Priceless!

Mangini's wondering if he should start interviewing for college jobs now?

If and when you do, at least you'll be prepared. Since I'm never in Westwood, I haven't had the opportunity to go to the store in LA, much to my daughters' dismay. It is a racket, but at least the dolls and books can potentially teach girls about American history.

People boarding with their snuggles on, reeeeeallly ????

Actually, the AG store is in the Grove, which is a bit east of Westwood (where I live). Fittingly, there are a number of bars very close to the store! ^
