I've learned never to eat sushi on wednesday's in japan, because the markets are closed and you get day old fish.

I'd light the building on fire.

Worse than that - they actually canceled an entire LH 744 flight IAD-FRA.

I think if it were the new C, I'd rather have UA. The only reason to fly LH F is the FCT.

How exactly do you rebook something like that during the summer travel season, when flights are full all the time.

You're right. We might have some members who rack up 3K posts.

Let's make the guess 60,000 posts.

I'm guessing 3,000.

(BTW, Randy, your offer is VERY generous and appreciated! But I won't be able to make the trip so please don't count this as an entry.)

(we just could not figure out how to limit one per entry and I'm thinking I did not need more PMs or email!!!!)

Guess Cholula underestimated!
