I need to arrange a client dinner for tomorrow night here in Milan. I'm thinking Acanto in the Principe di Savoia Hotel. Anyone have any recent dining experiences in Milan to share?

Sorry I can't help - I get sent to Milan, TN restaurants.

Drag it to the trash. Nice and easy, just like all consumer computer tasks should be. :-:

I am still waiting to hear from my co-worker on the websites and methods he used to remove himself from all those mailing lists. I will shoot him another email now.

Speaking of which, it is now time to consume some.

Um - with FFNs and cheap airfare, how many excuses do you need for a HI excursion between now and end of March :confused::confused::confused:

I did it three times last year.

I am sitting on a great AAA breakfast rate for February trip ($143). It almost doesn't make sense to use FFN's for that trip. I will be interested in seeing whether DEL5K will still work after January.

Thanks! ^ So far, I've been using CatalogChoice.org (at the suggestion of another Boxer) to try and eliminate all of the junk mail.

Sorry....I have nothing on the books for Florida (or anywhere else for that matter). Since the economy fried my industry so badly, things could be pretty slooooow this year. I might even have to make a MR to keep status if things don't pick up :eek:

By the way.....howdy Box!

Isn't it always time? And you left before the best event of that entire Do (the one that involved copious alcohol).

I know...I should have planned better and gotten a hotel in Atlanta for that night...

Is BREAKF cheapest in that instance, given you're a diamond?

The date I went on last month involved Milan (TN). I live in civilization, she does not ;)

I offered you my couch. It was next to the airport too.

There were indeed some ridiculously cheap Hyatt Places.

Alas, I was afraid of the change fee for missing the flight on Saturday...

If only I planned ahead better (the two days before the DO when I booked the flight).

At HR Waikiki, I will get RC access, which only includes continental breakfast. That is fine, although lunch then becomes a more important meal due to evening food in RC. Breakfast allows one to slide through to RC time to try appetizers. With enough wine, etc., one might not end up eating dinner.

We did a trip there where we didn't pay for food the entire trip (save 1 meal since we thought we should have a romantic dinner). That was one of the BREAKF trips.
