FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Ah...I forgot about that part about living in NJ. Fortunately there's a liquor store in Murray Hill that has a decent enough selection for a simple person like me.

Working on packing (for three trips and two weeks; I have five bags packed with at least another two to go and that doesn't include anything that belongs to Plus1) so that puts us to 8, plus a booster seat. If we weren't elite, what would we do? Ship UPS I guess! ;)

A very Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it; and to others, Happy Holidays!!!! I *HEART* the box!

Sounds like you are doing better, today! Have a wonderful Christmas & safe travels!^;)

I actually like to buy wines at Costco or Sam's Club -- again, in towns where they have liquor licenses!:rolleyes:

So the latest information about the weather and snow tomorrow in OKC is that it will be here about 7 am. My flight is scheduled for 6:30 am departure!! Looks like I picked a winner and I got my upgrade down and the other one for the return came in today!!

My father tends to stock up on wine at Costco.

I have bought some bottles of Johnnie Black there...the beer selection at my local Costco is rather :rolleyes: though.

Beer is really spotty -- wine, OTOH, can be really good at times.

We got some cheap bottles of Santa Margarita there a few weeks ago...cheapest I've seen it.

We went to a Carneros wine tasting, and found some of the wines at 20-30% less than at the tasting. Plus, they have 30-40 bottles rather than the typical wine place that may have 5-10.

Donald Fagen (Steely Dan) song on Pandora today:

Well you won't find my name on your list. Honey you know I ain't no terrorist.
Confiscate my shoes, my cellphone -- You know I love you,
Security Joan
