Congrats! Our favorite is lunch

Donna just logged on and looked last night on a random whim. And presto there was an early ressie.

We can now take on 2 bags hand luggage. Both small and no more than 10kg between the two. Anything bigger will go in the hold at £12 per kilo.

Airlines over here now charge even for hand bags bigger than a handbag (woman) or a small backpack for men.

At least most single engine planes glide very well if you lose the engine

Depends on the plane, and technically. bigger planes do glide too (see the miracle of hudson).

I think air lines don't want anymore customers. They do everything in their power to make going on a plane a horrible choice. I want a bullet train.

Even worse if you seen the plans to reduce the seating distance for economy. They want people to be "almost" sitting. :|

I just wish they had huge parachutes attached to those planes.

Cold weather and snow allowed Dec. 24, and 25th ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not around here, it's not. I found out way back when I was in Vietnam that Christmas is still Christmas without even a hint of cold or snow. Hence, my current home. Still gets chilly (not by comparison) but, 99.9% chance of no snow.

That would destroy the structural integrity of the plane.. planes go above 200mph and weight tons.

Doing the happy dance ...
Just got a BOG brekkie reservation

I think we traded places. Aren't you the no ressie guy? And I am the one with some Ressie's? And now you are the guy with all the ressies and I am flying by the seat of my pants.

OK, I did make one ADR, as there is only one day I am sure of where we will be. And I was having a rough day, so it made me feel good to make that ADR. But, honestly, it might get cancelled.

Congrats on BOG!

I was expecting a full day for day countdown with fun facts every day ...

You first. Where are your fun facts countdown?

Not here! No snow on the 25th. I have a plane to catch!

Hey @donaldtoo Look what they are building by me.


I can't wait to try it!

In other news. it is Homecoming week here. Tonight is the Powder Puff game, where junior and senior girls play, and some of the senior boys get to be pom pom girls. My daughter got to see there routine, and it made her day. "Mom, (someone we know) has a solo,". "Well, that makes sense. He should be used to solos (kid is a monster trombone player)," I said. "Mom, HE IS MOANA!". So, now I'm going.

And, for what it's worth, and for whoever cares, I'd like to apologize for my recent spaz on this thread.
I, mostly, do come here for fun, frivolity, and silliness, but, I also realize that real life and opinions tends to bleed over into the thread, as well. I have NEVER put anyone on ignore, and have NEVER reported a post. It's just not in my nature.
Anyway, my sincerest apologies to anyone my comments may have hurt or offended. None of you deserved that.
From now on, I will just move past (like I have mostly done in the past) what I don't want to get involved in, and there will be no comments from me.
Again, my sincerest apologies to you all.

I must have missed this post. I've had my rants too. Most of us has done a rant at one time or another. Join our club. You are among friends, here. We love you , in spite of being human.

Mine too.

Good morning I'm going to take advantage of today's nice weather and spend most of it outside

We are back to the low 80's, fire watch, though. Cough....

Horrible, that's going to cause more blood clots (deep vein). It's hard enough for me to be on a plane, my circulation can't pump the blood up as it used to be. Think swollen legs, and ankles. That's scary. Last time we flew economy it was a half seat. I wrote United and said they we going to be sued for no leg support, and causing clots. I don't have my alcohol to rely on opening up my veins. I wonder how this flight will go.
