If the client suggests, or (horrors) tries to book you at the Club Quarters because they have a membership there, run screaming and don't look back.

Paging my IAH friends: I foolishly booked a CLE-ORD-IAH-DFW-CLE trip today, with a 33 minute connection at IAH. Is it even possible to get get from C or E to B in that timeframe?

I called the elite line to try to change the IAH-DFW flight, but no-go.

Thank you, good Wizard. The CY and Marquis properties are in the same price range, with the cheapest being the Ren on AAA rate.

It doesn't get any easier as they get older, either. On the rare occasions that we fly as a family, we travel with laptop, portable DVD player, coloring books, regular books, and stuffed animals (takes up two carryons and a laptop bag).

ETA there is also the game we play called "find an inappropriate gift for Mommy in the SkyMall catalog." That is usually good for about 20 minutes.

We also play "where would you like to go"? with the back map of the CO mag.

The web site explains what it is, but of course does not convey the claustrophobic nature of the rooms. When I lived in Boston and traveled to New York in a previous life, my company had a membership and we were required to stay there on all company business. Let's just say that if I was in bed, I didn't need a remote to change the channel, I could do it with my foot.

Here's the abridged proposal story, to help restore equilibrium.

So through a little bamboozlement, and a trip on C:rolleyes:C:mad: I brought teh Canuck to the spot we met 6 years prior. I began telling her how incredible the past six years had been and what a journey we had been on, and how I was excited to see what the next chapter would bring us.

I tried really hard to get her to affirm what I was saying, or to elicit that "L" word.

In the middle of my schmaltzy ramblings she looked up at me, gazed deeply into my eyes, and said "I have to poop."

Once the process is complete, we can all move to Guyana and live on a compound as :rolleyes:'s chosen people.
