Does anyone have any idea what Santa Rosa, CA is like?

There's an outlet mall on the drive up, couple nice golf courses, downtown as some fun hotspots, close enough to use as a base camp for whine country. I spent A fair of time there and could always find something enjoyable-within a 30 min drive in any direction

I spent the last blizzard hanging out at the Palomar drinking mostly free wine. Pizzeria Paradiso was closed, however. :-:

I arrive MSP at 10:00 pm and have to be back at the airport between 9:30-10:00. Is it worth it to go all the way downtown for one of those properties?

I would not do dis, then again I usually PL rooms in that area and spend the savings at MOA

The Important Notices page on CO.com shows "Current as of Wed., Feb. 3, 2010 6:45 p.m. Central" (time in the future), so I am guessing a weather waiver is coming shortly...

I noticed it and sent it to the circular file. As far as I can tell, there is no difference at all in upgrade probabilities this year as against last. So far this year my experience is 23 for 23 on DL, every one at the six day window and some of them on the lowest fare class.

I will admit that when I fly CO I buy the YUP or use miles for the UG.

It will be interesting to see how reciprocity on United affects everything.

A mileage earning bonanza is in the works.

And I guess a Mileage spending one as well-I'm going to give airfare. Location- TBD but leaning towards visiting the Motherland.
Fortunately, I believe the Box has much experience with roaming the Irish and Scottish dells and pubs
