I asked this earlier this week but don't think anyone had an answer then but now that you've looked at it, I'll try again. :) Is the initial deposit if made on a credit card a purchase or a cash advance?

Greetings from the great white north :rolleyes:

I know many like to visit the warm tropical areas of the world for Spring Break... including Hawaii and the Caribbean... heck even some end up in Mexico or Down Under...

Then there are flyertalkers... :D

The Second Annual Alaskan Spring Break DO - March 12-14, 2010 is designed for the latter... and should be much warmer then last year's event... ANC is as far north as we are heading, spending time on the Kenai Peninsula.

A couple FTers have been hard at work trying to arrange some cool tours, and activities, driving along a scenic byway, among other activities. :cool:

Hope to see some box representation! :D

We are going to Mondavi, and I told her that I want to walk the bridge. She hesitated a little with the heights...it's always something with this woman...but she didn't say no. We already have Alcatraz, Ghirardelli Square, general merriment on cable cars, Lombard Street, and teh Painted Ladies on the agenda, plus our first visit to an In-n-Out. I also want to see Haight-Ashbury...she could care less about that, but I took two courses on The 60s in America during my undergrad. She has never been to SFO and I haven't in 20ish years, so the Wharf and that area has to be seen a little.

I'll be in Wisconsin Dells that weekend. Still need to go to Alaska (my 50th state) in 2010

The website says it will be treated as a purchase and not a cash advance. :-:

They accept Visa and MC.

Yeah, that caught my eye as well. Good move, but should make for some fun stories after IRROPS.

What are you doing for accomodations? Hotel? B&B? If you have a car, a neat side trip (IMO) is to Berkeley. Interesting sights to be seen. ;) There's also a great pizza joint there - Zachary's. Yum! I would also recommend a tour
at this place. Your taste and smell senses will not disappoint you.^

I rented a bike and rode across the bridge to Sausalito. Cool places for lunch over there. Then I took the ferry back to the wharf. Fun day.

So this would imply that they expect to have enough 752s converted by 6/1 to do this. Cool.

Hotel yes, car yes. I'm trying to flesh out something else to do, as it looks like there's about a half-day long hole in teh schedule right now.

My thoughts as well. It seems as if someone on Smith St. realized that 18 months was far too long a timeline for implementing lie-flat.

Given the low temps tonight and tomorrow, it would be smart of me to leave teh house early and pick up some long-john pants. Stupid me went to the store last time and came back with two tops instead of a set of tops and bottoms. :rolleyes:
