Yeah, maybe I rather go to MHT anytime soon if the weather will be cooler. Its doesn't have hot condition and very high heat hazed during the summer.

The home of the Lounge drink of choice... The Woodford Reserve Distillery. Seriously, if you have time I'd suggest taking the tour.

Right now I'm busy attacking that bottle of Pommery at the AF lounge in JFK. Still and hour and a half left to the flight and I have plenty of time to kill that bottle.

Or does your work in middle east war zones give you an insight into plans that the rest of us aren't privy to?

Made the first couple bookings with my newly acquired WN companion pass...
Next trip to STL:
Self: $161.40
Wife: $10.00
Trip after that to STL
Self: $230.40
Wife: $10.00
Average Mpls family expense for STL tickets in Sept.: $103.20
It was only a year ago that NW & its buddies were trying to relieve us of $560 (or more) apiece for MSP-STL round trips.
What a difference a year makes!
No responsible FlyerTalker would accept that kind of stipulation. I hope you're showing some testicular fortitude and holding the line on that stuff.

It's been awhile since I checked in here to the lounge---nice to see things haven't changed a bit! 
It's also nice to see such good news, too! That's great, jfe. ^
I'm stopping in to announce some good news ( I suppose...lol) myself. A couple folks already know, but my youngest son is swearing in with the marines tomorrow. Not real happy about it in one way, but proud of him too, if that makes sense. Thought I'd share.

On a serious note: you and your son will be in my thoughts and prayers.

You can certainly be very proud of him for joining the Marines but don't fool yourself into thinking that the swearing will be one day only. I have known lots of Marines and they swore even more than soldiers and sailors.

Carol and her orange and blue clad pals are looking forward to claiming number 8, in the SEC East.

Should I be concerned that I agree wholeheartedly with Dov?
