And what could possibly be so important to do so that you would be away from here for five entire days?

The usual saver if they do not have any decent still wine is to go back and make them open another bottle of Champagne. Even the cheapest real Champagne is very good stuff (and I have been known to sneak an extra glass or two of that stuff).
+1 for good wine, Port, single malt, whiskey or Bourbon. I was introduced to Alexander Valley Silver Oak a few years back while attending a training meeting in BWI. Glad I was not paying the price for one bottle, let alone the final tab for the numerous bottles which were consumed.

Busy doing other stuff

And doing research on this timeshare thing. It's interesting, but not sure if it's for me.

I loved the room at the HGV Parc Soleil

The salesmen are very good at making it sound interesting.

I understand there are some very good deals on timeshares in Juarez.

Is FT screwed up again? Posts seem to be disappearing on a random basis.

Good afternoon to the lounge from Port Vila, where it is 12:08PM. Just finished lunch, and now, possibly off to the beach, or just lounging around the area...

Oh it was great. Drunk woman behind me followed us into the DSC... 60+ers being sloppy is not attractive.

I don't know how I missed this after 18,000 posts, but that is hilarious.

18,000 posts, YGBFSM, that is insane.

Free fish dinner and (three) Sam Adams at Stella's in Uptown Mpls tonight - all for giving up my bar stool to someone. Great start to my weekend. ^ Hopefully there is bumpage on United this weekend to top it off.

Sitting here in the SLC SkyClub waiting for my crew, then MX delayed flight to board.

An hour ago we boarded an MD90 to SFO and, 2 minutes after getting my Pre Departure BEverage, we were told there was a technical fault and we needed a new plane.

Downside was that we went from an MD90 to a 737... so we're waiting for a new crew
