FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

If I only sleep for 2 hours, I will feel really discombobulated. I think I'd rather tough it out, and then nap on the plane. If I slept for 2 hours now, I probably would be too awake to nap at 5:30am, and then I'd be miserable in the middle of the day because of fractured sleep.

Whichever way i do it, I'll be very tired tomorrow evening!

It's funny that for me, whenever I'm on a 600a (or before :rolleyes:) flight, I'll be able to drive to the airport fine, but I then just turn off my brain once through TSA and on the plane and go back to bed as if nothing happened. Once I'm up for a prolonged period (more than 30 minutes), I'm up, but early flights are the exception to the rule.

Heading out to the west coast is always a tough one though, as you're gaining the extra hours heading west.

Sounds fun.

I serve on audits and review teams every year - have one in March (local) and one in April (nowhere Louisiana). I learn a ton through the process.

A Chevy Equinox - big selling point was it's an SUV with 32 mpg. I wonder if they'll start selling them over sticker.;)

Do those still come with engines made in China? The previous generation had engines made in China. :td:

I'm still grounded until 5-Feb but I'm in "paid F" on UA that day.

Just as I was in "paid F" on UA yesterday. Our purser thought it was crazy that a 24 year old was on paid F and a Star Gold.

Wrapping up a good day in Houston. Today's high of 70 was purrrfect. Partly cloudy and dry. Took a nice brisk walk in the park and found some Pepsi Throwback at my local grocery store! The weather warms up this week - looking at highs near 80.

I enjoy audit work as well. I wish I had more of a financial background in order to make a career out of it.

I have one can of Coke left in my fridge that will be gone tomorrow afternoon. I'll need to find some Pepsi throwback to replenish my cola supply tomorrow.

This is my second stay. The hotel itself is not bad. It's like an Embassy Suites, but with a kitchen. The reason for my :rolleyes: is the fact that, once again, as hard as I try to get away from Hilton, I can't seem to do it. The nearest Starwood property is in Santa Monica.

Was 58 here today but after almost a month of never getting to freezing, people were out on porches playing guitars. Not kidding.

That's why I escaped to SoCal ever so briefly over the weekend. It was so nice being in mid-70s weather again.

I went to Rite Aid today - I told you this stuff is pervasive here - and they had the massive display. In fact, t'was buy three 12-packs and get one free or some such for $9.99. As I don't drink Pepsi, I went with Diet 7-Up.
