Your companion may be added to the upgrade list for any segments that y'all share.

*wasn't the SBH. That one was an inuit, which is a random aside. I think I dated her so I could use a certain Full Metal Jacket reference. ;)

My gf and I were dating while she was in SYD for 6 months last year, we saw each other 3 times and every time was a different route to get there,

my favorite being ERW-ARN-KUL-SIN-MLE 7 days surfing -
then I flew MLE-SIN-SYD to see her stayed 3 days in SYD and flew back SYD-SIN-MLE spent 1 day in MLE @ club med to catch my original fligth home MLE-SIN-EWR

here is my predicted response from belynch " :mad::mad: @ TG :mad::mad: @ US :mad::mad:

Love that show and read all the books. Air, Hotel and Beach Babylon are quite good and based on true stories. CM, you would especially enjoy the Hotel and Beach as both are based on your line of work. Trashy, but good.

I am still slightly hesitant to use Deluxe Rent-A-Car of LAX. I feel as if they might be some fly by night company, but I do not know anything about them. Is it worth it to rent from them and save about $130? My entire rental will come to about $72 all in. I reserved a Toyota Corolla, which they advertise as getting 37 mpg’s. At 6’5”, I am not sure that is such a good idea though.

Oh where are my manners, Good Morning Box!

I'm trying to teach the Canuck to speak with an Australian accent in attempt to create the perfect woman. It's not going so well.

"Good on ya, mate. Eh." :rolleyes:

I have read Hotel numerous times, but was hesitant on Beach and Air. Amazon didn't treat them kindly. Even though I'm a B&N shopper, I like Amazon's reviews much better.

Assuming she gets the residency she wants on match day, hopefully we'll both be in IAH after the wedding.

Don't count on it. My s/o thought she would land a fellowship in PHL (or at the very least BOS - where she is from). She winds up in IAH. :( She didn't like it, neither did I (we're both 4 season people). So, I was doing:
PHL<-------------------------------->IAH

I'm not counting on it... just cautiously hoping. I have at least two more years stuck in IAH due to school (and wanting to keep my job), and would prefer if we no longer had to deal w/long-distance after marriage.

I got stuck in a traffic jam on the way to work today. Got stuck on completely clogged surface street. Moved 1 city block in 20 minutes.

I ended up taking a 20 mile detour and got to work 90 minutes late.

Eff LA :rolleyes:

That'll happen about the same time as she agrees to wear a wicked weasel.*

Does anyone have suggestions for a cheap same day turn on CO from EWR or ABE? My mother is going to be ~300 miles short of Silver this year and I'm encouraging her to go on a run...

Funny. I just posted a random Simpsons reference over in :rolleyes: at the same time you were posting this.

Although your joke kind of transcends the Simpsons, as I think it's been uttered by every pervy man since the dawn of time.
