Air travel sucks

[geekchick]

I am not going to fly from Dulles to Orlando via Pittsburgh. In what universe does that make sense? I suppose it doesn't matter much anyway, because USAir has no flights leaving Friday at a time that doesn't cut into the conference or put me back too late for the GBS show that night

I see you are running into the same problem I am for flights. I can get there no problem, but getting back is a PITA.

Oh yes your car!!!!! Have you had the other stuff fixed yet?

Allergies are kicking my ass
ditto, to the point of being dizzy.

I can get there no problem, but getting back is a PITA.

I found several flights to Logan leaving around 5 or 6, although I was adding BWI into my search and not ruling out 1-stop flights.

No, they haven't fixed the other stuff yet. I wonder if this is related to the need for a new alternator yet again. While it's there, I'll make an appointment with them for the rest of it since I know there's absolutely no way to get the alternator, the timing belt, the water pump, and the valve cover gaskets all replaced today. I suspect I'll just end up leaving my car overnight and hoping Chris can come pick me up, but I'll decide on that once I hear back from the mechanic.

1 stop isn't bad as long as I don't have to kill hours between

5-6 is ok (not optimal hey I'm greedy when it comes to time :)

No, they haven't fixed the other stuff yet.
Am I going to have to bring my tools with me :)

Nah, they were like an hour or less, not multiple hours.

Am I going to have to bring my tools with me :)

I'm preeeeetty sure we have plenty of tools here. Keep in mind that there's an MR2 in pieces in the garage.

I do the Baltimore-Orlando thing, so I can't help you there.

Let me know if you've got free time while in Orlando.

[geekchick]

If I didn't need to get to Lisner on Friday night, I'd probably check the Baltimore thing more closely.

I should have some amount of time while I'm down there. I'll be at php|tek and will probably have some dinners and maybe a lunch free. I'll let you know what's up. Sorry I missed you while you were up here, hope you had a good trip.

Sounds like the USAirniverse to me. All your flights are belong through PIT!

[geekchick]

I've actually never gone through PIT on any airline, usually USAir routes me through Charlotte.

On an unrelated note, think you can pick me up Thursday evening and take me to work on Friday morning? It's probably easiest just to leave the car here overnight on Thursday so they can tear it apart on Friday, although if you think it won't work I'll just get up at the crack of dawn on Friday morning.

Bwwwaaaahhhhhahhhahahahahaha *snort*

[geekchick]

It's all relative. ;)

[wolfy]

that'll wait 'til after next payday

I can make that today :)

but the question is would that put me under the porch?
