Hmmm. I have found reward availability for IAH-YYC-YVR-SYD-ICN-LAX-SAT in C. Thankfully the BD ICC will be closed until Monday, so I can resist an impulse purchase.

When they make it totally available to Verizon I'll get excited and consider getting it. Cold day in hell, I know. I won't go back to CingaT&T.

MD 20/20 also tastes like the colors, though not quite as strong as Nyquil does. In a wines class in college we did a tasting of about 20 wines one afternoon and at the end we were passing around bottles of MD in paper bags trying to taste which color they were. We either guessed really well or we could taste the flavors; I'm not sure which.

I'd much rather Argentina than a European option for the next drunken adventure.

sounds like fun, especially if you get the new AC seat.

+1 the steaks are unreal down there.


Have a good weekend everyone I am off on a short trip, but no doubt will keep the FT tether attached

Robin Williams's agent will be calling me at some point this afternoon...apparently they rely on locals to come up with local humor for that part of the show. :D I wonder how passive-aggressive I can be.

I'm not ACY local, but my humor consulting fees are very reasonable.

^ Thanks for the info. No plans to stop at Mondavi either. I'll have to look at a map and see where Opus One is in relation to the other areas I will be in.

Thanks for the restaurant as well!

I don't know if you plan on visiting only wineries. When we did our brewpub tour last year, we stopped at Calistoga Inn & Restaurant and Brewery and Silverado Brewing Company.

You could probably skip Calistogo Inn as it's tiny and the beer isn't the greatest. We liked the atmosphere at Silverado better, plus it used to be an abbey and the building is pretty interesting.

Should be guaranteed on YVR-SYD. I'm not sure I want to spend all those miles for just one day in SYD, though...

I have a few thought up...gotta see what the agent thinks of them. I'm trying to recall his 2002 Broadway CD and attempting to structure my lines as close to that as I can.

Make that Terminal E. I was delayed at IAH. But I stayed at the gate in case they called us to board earlier, which they did by a few minutes.

And now I'm enjoying the ATL PC which is PACKED. Stopped by here after landing to send a few e-mails and finish up a few work items before I head for the polls. I'm going to vote early today, even if it means waiting an hour or two in a cold wet parking lot. If I don't go today I don't know when I'll be able to.

AC uses the 77LR on that route so it will be the new cabin.
I got the 767 with the new cabin for EZE-SCL-YYZ and it was nice, the LR has a snack bar area i believe and exec first is 1-2-1 compared to 1-1-1 on the 767. Im also flying YUL-CDG in late nov , I think that is the 77W though.

There's also availability for LAX-KIX-ICN-LAX for the dates I want. I may just do that, as it will give me more time at my destination.

AMF in NJ Oct 24, 2008 2:22 pm

The absentee ballot for NJ is ridiculous. Ugh. The instructions are so weird I'm wondering if I have to physically hand it to someone in the post office.
