That just sounds :rolleyes: even if completely sober.

Apparently, I'm so attuned to being a senior official that I write profound things whether sober or drinking.

Very ^

I just realized I own the agenda for our weekly staff meeting at work tomorrow, which means I need to create 10 random trivia questions. This could be tough (there have been a few complaints that when I create trivia it's too hard :rolleyes:)

Just booked a new reward with my CO miles :cool:.

JFK-ICN-HKG-PVG-ICN-JFK

JFK-ICN-HKG is in F on OZ. Stop over in HKG for 2 days. HKG-PVG in C on FM and PVG-ICN-JFK on OZ in C. I really, really love the ANA tool ^

How much should this cost with CO miles?

The res did not ticket and was listed at 135K and $33.18 in tax. When I called CO they are trying to tell me it's not valid and I need to pay 145K because of the FM segment, F on OZ one-way and stopover.

Is this something I should ask Scott to look into?

Definitely not a CO expert but there's a special condition that says 20k for F when F&J are offered. Given the itinerary, I probably would say "the extra 10k is fine, issue my ticket please".

In other words, I think it's worth asking but don't think it's worth losing availability ...

I was at the local Costco here on Sunday. Nada, in regards to Pepsi throwback. Though, I did have a coupon for some $ off of Pepsi products. :rolleyes: This Costco carries Messican Coke for 70 cents a bottle. Not too bad. I still like the taste of Pepsi over Coke. I wish I could find New Coke. I don't think it is made anymore.

That's a hurtful thing to say (says the Coke fan and Berkshire Hathaway shareholder).

Wikipedia says New Coke is still sold in American Samoa. Sounds like a MR opportunity.

Taste is always personal. I actually like the taste of Coke in Israel. :confused: My aunt always has it available. But, in our household, Mrs. photog72 drinks diet Sprite. So, the Coke company gets some of our $.

I think it is time for a MR to American Samoa for a tasting of New Coke, and a chance to bring some home.^

Given the reference was Wikipedia, one must verify before the excursion ;)

Speaking of, ATL or LAS ever come into play? World of Coca-Cola often provides opportunities to have great (and profoundly foul) products from various locations worldwide.
