    This made me laugh. They are the most miserable little creatures ever.

    And touchdown in LAX! End of the MR for
    me, good luck to Seth, Joe, Chris (x2), and Warner who still have more flying to go. 40 hrs door-to-door, 24 on flights, 12k EQMs, 24k RDMS, and an awesome story to tell.

    At least I had another bulkhead seat.

    This was by far the longest MR I've ever done where each segment was in Y.

    I was a very squeamish child. Until my first husband died of a stroke, I couldn't watch even pretend surgery scenes. For some reason, that suddenly changed overnight after his death. Before, I wouldn't have been able to watch CSI, now it's one of my favorite shows.

    A simple "dear economy, please become more bullish and quickly" would be most beneficial.

    That's one option; another would be decreasing capacity more; another would just be overselling more. Y0 doesn't help if they just sell to capacity.

    Onboard the last segment of my MR, in Y, of course.

    Another bulkhead seat, though.

    Any Boxers have a recommendation for a Virtuoso agent they've used or heard good things about? Please either post here or PM me details. Thanks.

    Thanks. The only problem is the thread is a little stale in terms of last posting in it, and the only person recommended on it is also one of the posters (so I am a little nervous regarding the bias factor).

    I want to say I understand your reference, but sadly I don't (unless you're referring to lucky being an agent?).

    Ha, does that mean you pulled their little wings off of their bloodsucking body :eek: :D?

    One of the few living creatures to which I can actually imagine wanting to cause pain and suffering. Evil little things.

    Well, materials and methods done. Next up is results.
    Just came up for air to read that the MRers were spending $180 for a long trip. Me, I have to spend $560 to get to GRR from CLE :eek: in July. The planes are empty so I may just spring for a refundable fare and see what happens over the next several weeks.

    Oh yes and by the way, for all the Moms out there, have a great Mom's day. My daughter is on her way back from TLV minus her wallet which was lifted off the beach yesterday. Fortunately, she is poor and the thief got her 3 credit cards (immediately cancelled and a credit watch started), her drivers license and 100 shekels. It may be a very cheap lesson on what NOT to bring to the beach.:confused:

    It is a chain that is mostly on the islands but also a bit on the mainland. It isn't anything amazing as far as plate lunches go but it is pretty good. More importantly, it is about 15 minutes walking from the terminal and easy on a relatively short connection. I added the Korean chicken wings on to my normal BBQ mix platter and it was a ton of food, all tasty.

    I believe one of his income streams these days is working as an agent for a Virtuoso agency.
