That's part of the reason why I try to avoid flying Monday-Thursday...too much competition for seats up front.

Hopefully the connecting flight comes through for you though!

Hope all goes smoothly on your MR!;)^

We should be ok....even with the fridge against the back wall, the handle will open into a doorway. I think to get a full door swing, we'll only have to pull the unit out about 8 to 10 inches.

Here's the deal - you could always give me the AmEx points and I'll buy the theatre systems and LCD TV's ;)

I think I'm sensing a theme here. When it comes time to procure said TV, you can all buy vicariously through me :p

Super.

Someone else now thinks they have my e-mail address. They do not. And I did not want all the gory details of their Turbo Tax 2009 return. :rolleyes:

I was at about 5k with one month to go. I realized I likely wouldn't make it without trying. Therefore, I made a big push. With some help from the US Mint, I achieved my goal ;)

Morning Box. I sense :rolleyes: will be high today. Everyone take precautions.

I have a mammoth run next weekend:

PHL-IAH, leaving at 05:35am (same as the one tomorrow)
IAH-SEA arriving around 12pm ish; meeting up with Colpuck
SEA-IAH redeye (:() leave at around 11:30pm, arrive around 5:45am
IAH-RDU
RDU-EWR
EWR-SEA arrive around 8pm

SEA-EWR leave at 10pm, arrive 6am.


I will be a tired bunny by the end of that one, as I will probably not sleep on Friday evening as i will need to leave at 2:15 again to make the flight.

So, no real sleep from around 7am on Friday morning.

Bleugh :(

If you ever find a MR like that in the sub $200 range, please send me a PM. This way I can say I did one and not my typical MR that involve spending the night and actually doing something.

Look for PHL-SEA/PDX/SAN if you want sub $200. What you saw above was two nested tickets, which is definitely more than $200.

If only I still lived in SAN...ah well.
