Yeah, I'm trying to do this one under the radar. You know what I'm talking about.

If I can just make it to 4pm without booking a flight, I'll make it through the day (as I have to spend the rest of the evening driving to SAT). With any luck, I'll come back on Monday, and some sort of winter fare-ware bloodbath will have begun ex-IAH. If not, I'm jumping on that SAT-PTY fare like a fat kid on a cupcake.

Yes. "They" just don't understand. :D

I'm game. My FM south of the equator is way too empty.

There's a class for that???? Where do I sign up.

In a bit of randomness, I ended up at an after-party in Vegas in Hugh Hefner's private suite at The Palms. You know the party is going to be good when the girls at the door are topless.

You'll need to keep flying a bit further south than PTY, then.

Did you end up south of the equator during that trip? :D

Is there a consensus on when The Box wants to do PTY? I really wanna go, and at this point I don't care if it's for two nights.

Well, it's a start. I haven't really been south of Hawaii which is really kind of sad.

February is too far out for me to plan - I usually can plan only four to six weeks out, at the most.

I'm definitely in, even if it's for two days or so.

As for the spend question, so far this year i'm sitting around $50k in tickets. I've spent about $5k on personal and $2k of that was in vouchers. It is an expensive habit.

Looks like the folks in the Northeast will have to coordinate, as the pickings ex-SAT are extremely limited on the L fare for dates.

Do you want to go to PTY? :D

Anglo Large Clawed Otter Oct 31, 2008 2:41 pm

Fellow Crackhea...err, Box Denizens,

21 Minutes until I must leave work. Do I book PTY for the weekend date I found that has the L fare, or do I hold off and let the possibility of the fare disappearing gnaw at me all weekend like some sort of insidious parasite? Someone tell me what to do. I need to be able to blame someone else for my ridiculous inability to pass up a good fare to a sunny, warm place with lots of alcohol. :D
