Sounds like they need to attend the Seth B. Miller School of Avoiding :rolleyes: Travel Mistakes.

If "a couple of weeks from now" is more than 21 days, is LAS-PHX on WN then PHX-ATL a possibility? LAS-PHX is a $49 base fare.

It's the first weekend of February. I'll look at that, although I'd rather fly CO.

A. Guilty.
B. EOFT 1 and 2, EFL, and EFIAH, eh? Taking all those would make me something like a zero-experience teacher that would be hired at a Master's plus zero salary step, but I'd have nine credits toward that first promotion step. Copa approves of this. ^^ Add to that nine that I can get other credit from them in Education and Economics with other programs, and that makes for a spectacular bargain. Mental note to self to make charitable donation to FTE should all of this work out for me.

ETA: The course about the failure of the Soviet Union does not seem to be restricted either, nor do the ones about capitalism being good for the poor or the one on economics of disasters. Make that 17 credits. :eek: ^^^^

Damn DL's one way awards are expensive. Was hoping to maybe solve our problem of flying LAS-ATL with a one way DL award for each of us, but no way am I blowing that many miles on coach seats on a DL 763 or 752 torture chamber.

Do you quality for the pay with miles option . One way would be to use the pay with miles to pay for the Y/B/M fare and then use miles to upgrade. Its not the best use of miles but is better then coach.

No, I don't. I'll keep looking. There's always FL, and my partner probably has enough credits with them to get an award ticket. I just would really prefer not to be out $600 for two one way LAS-ATL tickets. It's also possible CO will drop the fare at some point. I'll keep working. We've got almost a month.

I was still recommending CO - just a cheap WN fare to get to a city (PHX) known for having cheap fares.

Mock me now, but show up and try to play. You'll learn in a hurry. :p

I was very buzzed that one night. I was :eek: when she said we are having another round.

I don't know. I didn't investigate the coat closets (didn't even know the DC-10s had those).

They are pretty cool. They were orginally used to hold suit bags and stuff.

Over the past few minutes I have been working hard, pushing the boundaries of creative thought, traveling extensively between the toilet and my office, pouring my heart and soul into a special tribute documentary to the Box.

I humbly believe this is a fitting tribute to our special corner of the internet. One that has spawned much travel, even more beer consumption, shrubbery extractions, and even the occasional adoption of armadillos in Mendoza, Argentina (in the name of discounted Coors Light).

The Box has become an integral part of all our lives and has changed the way we view media. It has given a voice to the :rolleyes: and has been an agent of more.

It is with great pride that I unveil to you, my distinguished box brethern, my tribute documentary to our little corner of the world wide :rolleyes:.

VIVA LA BOX. VIVA LA PWP. P:rolleyes:STY POST POST. :-:

Bravo ^ :D

If these will work with your graduate program and desired school districts, it's an inexpensive way to get exposed to content and pedagogy - teaching in this manner is still considered innovative in the college setting (and I get sent to conferences to discuss how to do so). Just finished my travel authorizations for the Cambridge, MA trip.

The cost was the best part. Star Peru only charges $113 for LIM-CUZ return, and Aerosur was only $150 for CUZ-LPB return. Total price of flights (including CO), worked out to only about $150 more than the AA flights ex-MIA (which still would have required positioning). At least I'll earn about 7,500 CO EQM for the LIM flights, too.

Three new lines, two new carriers, and one new equipment type. Considering hotels on the shore of Titicaca are only about $25/night, and fare from La Paz is only about $15 roundtrip, and food is dirt cheap, this should work out to about the same as a weekend in MittleEvropa (if not cheaper).

Can someone tell my laser printer I'm not in the mood to figure out why it keeps jambing up with every other sheet of paper?

Some job search sites are so :rolleyes: 3 minutes after signing up, I get 10 e-mails (like "Get a job a fast in medical billing", "earn an online degree as a psychologist", "become a nirse" (yeah that's h:rolleyes:w it was spelled)) and one phone call. And yeah, I was careful to watch for the artfully hidden "check this b:rolleyes:x to remove your name from outside contacts".
