And on that note, I was able to snag a PVD-ATL-MIA-FDF (via PAP and PTP) on DL and AF for only $780, to which I put my MCO voucher to good use--even though I still have a lot remaining.

I'm planning on hitting KUL, then onward to SGN. For all intensive purposes, the stop in KUL is to make my PVD-DTW-AMS-SGN (via KUL) a legit itinerary.

And I'm planning on seeing how VN treats the illustrious DYKWIA level

My parents also had a timeshare in SXM--then they got rid of it (for some apparent reason) and now own yet another house on stilts...this time in the Florida Keys. (I give up with trying to understand them)

icurhere2 SO may not be able to make the STT trip. Is it sad I've considered redepositing both award tickets, redeeming those miles for the AmEx cards in an amount just over a revenue ticket, and booking myself on a revenue ticket (earning RDM and MQM) if she can't attend?

Good!! Try to stay busy. You are too extremely busy weeks at schools and you should be done for the days.

Of course, things are always subject to change...

I feel embarrassed that I only came in third at trivia at Teh Fish Bar tonight and won only $20. That'll last me buying the FA three of her beloved Stoli-Sprites.

Pinking shears? Why? Was Vuelos born in California?

If he was born in New York you would need a machete at the very least.

(In Israel, we have to use chain saws.)

Why wouldn't people stop looking after they find it?

This one class has been hanging over my head for more than a decade. I can't believe it's finally done!
Hooray! Congrats on finally getting it done.

Yes. But perfectly understandable.

I thought your area of expertise was airline trivia. No shame in only third at fish trivia.

I went 1-for-2 on airline related questions tonight. Easily got the question of "what occupation did the first FAs have to have?" Swung and missed on the question of "what was NW the first airline to do"...I protested and said quite a few things, but they were looking for banning smoking from flights, which is not what I said.

That being said, I am sure the $20 will be gone soon enough. The FA was quite excited I got us money off our bar tab for tomorrow night when I talked to her 20 minutes ago.

Does the FA work for DL? If so, does she ever take TLV-ATL flights? If yes, does she mind being hit on by Dirty Old Men?

Yes to the first part, no to the second part, hence making the third part irrelevant.
