I'll be staying at TI. Unfortunately, I've the feeling my trip won't be as entertaining as watching The Hangover, but I'll give it my best shot.

OK who didn't figure out he was on the roof when the one guy comes out scratching his head and saying, Huh his mattress is gone?
Still a funny funny movie though.

I will try to get the 8th off work. What time do you arrive on Sunday?
I'll stay in town for a couple days, close to your hotel.
-

2 PM, I think, probably be at the hotel right around 3 PM check-in time.
But I also just realized that's Super Bowl Sunday. Oy.

Oh shit, Super Bowl crazy.......... :lmao:
I'll try to be there if you want to meet up. I think I can make it work.

Anything specific that you want to make sure you see or do when in town?
I'm glad you are getting to take a vacation, you are past due.

Not really--kinda doing LV on the "cheap" this time. Actually got my room for $39/night, and they waived that effin scam "resort fee".
There's always cheap beer and blackjack downtown.

Cheap is good and that is easy to do in Las Vegas.
I can stay at the 4 Queens or Terribles for free, I think the 4 Queens will throw in $50 in free slot play.
I'm going to try and arrange it so I can be there for at least one night.
Did BadCat tell you about our meet ups??? :evillaugh:

Planet Hollywood has some very hawt blackjack dealers. They even rotate with dancing on the tables, complete with pole...
A better description: Pleasure Pit at the Planet Hollywood. Attractive dealers in red bustiers and hot pants, plus Go Go Dancers.

I'm in. PM me if you can make it. Meeting place is the same as all conservative board meeting places--Treasure Island Breeze Bar, right next to the coffee shop, near the roulette tables. IIRC, that was the meeting spot when we had the meetup on RN.

I've never been inside TI and I love to check out new places.
I can spend the $700 I won last night. :-)
-
TI's website requires a two night stay for reservations. The rooms look really nice, you got a good deal.
-
Chris, you need to fly to Vegas during this same time. The girls want to see you.

Riiight... with my luck, it will be the "girls" from Fantasia.

That weekend, you can take 2 or 4 day Defensive Handgun or 2 or 4 day Practical Rifle, at FrontSight, up where Rob lives...about 60 miles N of Vegas.
I think there is still an all nude strip club, where you bring your own booze. It's back by the freeway in the area of the Stratosphere.

A pharmacist friend of mine was telling me about all kinds of all nude places in Las Vegas, on top of a few illegal brothels.
FrontSight brings alot of great people to our town for a visit. I run into alot of the students around town. The group of guys that you bring with BadCat seem top notch.

I was wondering how many people you could cram into a $39 a night room? :whatever:
I remember going to New Orleans and we had about 8 people... heh... entered in 2 groups so they wouldn't suspect....

Three--me, myself, and I. Security posts themselves by the elevators these days and checks for room keys, dontcha know.
-
Yeah, hotels keep pretty tight security, especially on busy weekends. But, I've also seen a few that were very relaxed which was a shock to me.
-
Okay, so later this week or next week we get a head count?
Called TI--I don't have enough points to get into the "invited guest" Super Bowl event at Mystere Theater, unless I play some ungodly amount like the second I arrive (I was quoted min. table bets of $150 for at least 1 hour to be eligible.)

Two words:
Lagasse's Stadium.

Las Vegas has leash laws, you must keep your animals on a chain.

My manager has been off sick, still waiting to see if my vacation day request for the 8th was approved.

Lagasse's Stadium or just some local place with loose video poker and waitresses?

I wonder if this is the goal to which I should aspire...anything less and I haven't partied enough?

A sports book busy during the Superbowl? Even one with handheld units that let you bet on the outcome of every play?
Yeah, you would have to get there at about 6 AM for a seat...
-
And of course, my boss wants me to place a couple of SB bets for him before the game starts. Oh yeah, just gonna waltz on up to the window and drop his ducats, no worries. Flight gets in at 1? Line at the cab stand, get to the hotel around 2ish? Piece of cake, dude!
Sheesh.

(sigh)...is it me being lazy, or some pathological desire to spend money I don't have to?
The bus to/from Logan runs $43. I can catch it from either Dover or Portsmouth (Dover is closer). From Dover, it's 2 hours to Logan. It's less than an hour and a half if I drive it (assuming clear roads). I wouldn't have to wait for the bus when I got in.
HOWEVER...
Parking at Logan is $24/day. Even the offsite places are nearly $20 a day. But given the fact I don't really want to sit on a bus for 2+ hours, I'm really tempted to just drive to Logan and say to hell with it.
ETA: Screw it. Made the reservation at Park Shuttle and Fly on Route 1A. $16/day with coupon.

I always park n fly. I hate it when people take me to the airport, and I hate leaving my car at home. I don't know why, I just do.
-
We usually pick the flights that leave between 6 and 7:30am and will stay out at the hotel at the airport if we are going to be gone longer than 3 days. It's cheaper to stay at the hotel than it is to park in airport parking, and we park free at the hotel. Both Atlanta and Nashville have good deals for park and stay too.
Did you check to see what's available at Logan? To stay here at the Hilton, I have to call the hotel on their local line, if I call the 800# - it's more expensive. When we flew out of Nashville in December, we left the car at the hotel -free, and they shuttled us to the airport that was 5 minutes away. Again, I had to ask the hotel directly. I booked the hotel on line, then called the hotel itself about the parking....
-
All of the hotels (what's available) for park and fly run at least $150.

That was what I was finding in Nashville when I looked for "park and fly".
Look for a hotel that has a low internet rate, and then see if they have free shuttle. Book it, then call.
We stayed at the Wingate in Nashville...I think it was about $60....and it was a Friday night stay. The "park and fly" rate was much higher.
I should probably mention that I spent hours looking for a deal. :-)
After I looked up "park and fly" deals.....I switched the way I was looking.
I started with an internet map of Nashville airport that showed the nearby hotels, then went on each individual flight.
For the 8 hours that Runnin' Buddy and I were going to be in a room....I was just looking for two beds, clean, convenient, and affordable.

No offense, but there ain't a whole lot around Logan I'd consider staying in, let alone spending an extra $100-150 for the "privilege" of staying there. Like I said, it's an hour and a half from my place to the Park and Ride near Logan, and another 5 minute shuttle ride to the terminal. Besides, it's a 7 am flight, and I've got to fly to LA, then turn around and hit LV, and won't get there until after 1 Vegas time, giving me a whole 2 hours to get to the hotel, get to the sports book, place all the SB wagers I've been tasked to get, and THEN I can check into the room--which isn't a huge deal considering most places don't have check-in until 3 or so anyway.
Meh--by that point I'll just be happy to sit at the bar and watch some of the game whilst I piddle my family fortune away at video poker, or head over to the IP to get some beads for Scoobie and family.

None taken! :-)
Besides the fact that it's free to park at the airport Hilton here.....since I am not a morning person who lives with a morning person ...and I have this thing that certain things must be done before I leave on a trip cause if I don't do them - I may not make it back home....it makes life much simpler to get me out of the house the night before, into a hotel so that all he has to do in the morning is point me toward the shower and lead me to the gate.
It makes the start of a trip much more pleasant ....for both of us.... :-)

We do that in Vegas. The room costs $24 including tax. (Special for locals) They let you park there for free and give a free shuttle to the airport and pick you up on your return.

Sorry to hear that, Rob. Maybe next time.
On another note, I'm coming down with a cold. I've been popping Zicam tablets like Life Savers since yesterday. FML. At least when I get on the airplane Sunday, I'll be the SOURCE of the bug for a change, rather than the recipient.

A wise Doctor once told me that an adult who sustains a fever of 102 is taking a chance on death if they don't get to a hospital ASAP. A couple of years later or so I took that advise to heart and it saved my sorry ass. Don't screw with high fever. Kids can handle that type of heat. We (30+) old folk can't.

About 10 years ago, I was running a fever, home thermometer said 104 even. Every joint in my body hurt, and I couldn't focus on anything , even talking to my wife. I had her drive me to the emergency room, where the admitting nurse just felt my forehead, and put in a call for Tylenol before even using a thermometer. It turned out to be some virus, but they didn't waste any time trying to get my temperature down. My normal temperature is under 98 degrees for some reason.

Mine too. Always has been.
If I'm at 100....I'm running a high fever for me.
My hands and feet are almost always cold. If they are warm(not having socks or gloves on), it's the first indication, that I'm not feeling well. They even warm up with a headache.
-
Yep me too, 96.9 is normal, 99.0 is feverish, 102 is dying.
When I walked into the ER there were a bunch of people there. I walked to the desk and they immediately got me a chair. Took my temp, BP and pulse. 1 phone call and 2 attendants popped me into a wheelchair and wheeled me into the back. Total time from door to bed, less than 3 minutes.
You should have seen all the big eyes I saw staring back at me from the waiting room when I looked back on the way in. :innocent:
All admittance paperwork came to me later with a clerk who tried to print out what she thought she'd need. After an hour of back and forth, back and forth the shit still wasn't done right. It had to be finished a few days later by my Father when he got there to arrange for my body's disposal if I didn't make it.
But I did NOT have chemo :-)
-
Geesh o' pete, Rob!!!!
Have you been to a doctor?
Yes went to the doctor. Yesterday. I have a stomach infection from an antibiotic that I was taking for a sinus infection. Fever continued to drop and is now back to normal levels. The past three days have been far from comfortable.
Even if I felt better by the weekend, which I should, it would be silly to try and fight the Las Vegas Super Bowl crowds and take the chance of a relapse.
Did I mention that when moving my TV Sunday the satellite receiver landed on my foot from a five foot fall? It's black and blue, but no fractures. It's been one heck of a week. I can't wait to see the bills. :censored:

The one and only time I have ever had a kidney infection....as if I wasn't in enough misery, whatever the antibiotic was....it killed all the good stuff in my intestinal tract. I was sooooo sick.
It's bad enough to be sick....and then get sick from the cure.

Sounds like the time I was lifting at the gym, wasn't paying close enough attention, and dropped a 45-lb weight from chest height onto my foot. Needless to say, I didn't do my run for a few days after that. Nasty, shoe barely fit, but nothing broken.
Hmmmm...I brought a pair of shorts and t-shirt to work out if I feel stupid/insane enough to spend the $25 fee for the spa/gym. Maybe if I want to hit the sauna/steam room to clear the congestion from all the smoke, but that's about it.

C&J official: Portsmouth-Manchester bus service too costly- 12/5/2008 By Adam Leech
aleech@seacoastonline.com
February 04, 2010 2:59 PM
PORTSMOUTH — The lack of financial backing from the state to assure the long-term success of an East-West bus service from Manchester to Portsmouth will prevent C&J Trailways from bidding on the service, the company president said Thursday.
Jim Jalbert, president of C&J, said his bus service — with locations in Portsmouth, Durham, Dover, Boston and Newburyport, Mass. — will not be among those answering the request for proposals (RFP) from the state, which is seeking an operator to provide “safe, clean, efficient and reliable†daily bus service between the Queen City and the Port City.
While federal funding from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality program would likely be available to cover 80 percent of operating costs for the first three years, Jalbert said the state does not currently provide the type of funding to make the project viable. Providing 10 to 12 trips from 4 a.m. to midnight creates a huge operational expense that would require a long-term subsidy, he said, which is not available.
“Basically it means that after three years it has to stand on its own,†said Jalbert. “For the state, it’s a policy issue. To have that level of frequency of service, it’s not going to make money ... The state needs to make up its mind what type of transportation policy it wants and what type of funding it wants to provide long term.â€
The state Department of Transportation issued the RFP on Jan. 29, with proposals due by March 11. The initiative, scheduled to commence in July 2011, is backed by studies from the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission and Rockingham Planning Commission showing a demand for service.
The inherent problem with the East-West service versus service to and from Boston is the demand and congestion. Currently, Jalbert said his buses can get to Boston within 10 percent of the time it would take someone to drive the route. However, Route 101 is not nearly as congested as I-95 and it would take people less time to drive there.
Jalbert said he supports the state’s efforts to promote alternative transportation and an inner-city bus program and he believes the service would be valuable to the state.
Another company might find a way to make it work, he said, “and maybe it could pay for itself. But from my experience in doing this 30 years, it probably won’t.â€
Had a BIL who files from LA come into Manchester on SW saving major dough until he tried to arrange ground transportation to the P_town ( no one was available to pick him up ). Did you check on Manchester flights? I have no idea what their parking is like.
You really got ta get on da bus. It is actually much nicer than you would expect 'less you are use to only flying first cabin. Only problem is at Logan you can inhale a years worth of diesel exhaust while waiting for the darn thing. I always figured the P-town terminal was bit of political pay back by Mean Jeanne to Jalbert so it could be seen repatriating some of you tax dollars. :thatsright:
-
80% of their costs for 3 years isn't enough?? Welfare queens.
Jalbert said his buses can get to Boston within 10 percent of the time it would take someone to drive the route
Really, how many cars are stopping in every town to pick up passengers?

OMG--business that won't operate without government subsidies??? Say it ain't so!!!
And I usually do take the bus from Dover to Boston, but for this trip, since the flight out is so early, it's worth the extra $20 to save the time (and coming back). Frankly, the bus to Logan is the primary reason I fly out of there versus Manchester. SWA isn't nearly as good a deal as it used to be, and now that they fly out of Boston, even less of a reason to fly out of there. Besides, my primary FF miles are on American.
ETA: That's not to say I NEVER fly out of Manch-vegas, however. The last time I did wasn't bad. Security lines sure are shorter. However, remote parking lots are mostly closed, and good luck getting a shuttle. The central parking is convenient enough, but not cheap at $17/day.

Yeah, I'm thinking not. Example: I live nearly 20 miles NORTH of Dover, the first bus stop. It's 85 miles from my place to Logan. I can make it in 1:20 on good roads. The bus leaves from Dover on the half-hour, but you have to be there 15-20 minutes early, so call it 10 after the hour. It then takes two hours (minimum) to get to the FIRST terminal at Logan, so in reality, I'd have to leave my house almost an hour before the bus I want to catch in order to make it.
Bottom line, if I left for the airport at the same time I left for the Dover bus terminal, I'd be at Logan right about the time that bus left Portsmouth. About 90 minutes difference.

Yeah, I'm thinking not. Example: I live nearly 20 miles NORTH of Dover, the first bus stop. It's 85 miles from my place to Logan. I can make it in 1:20 on good roads. The bus leaves from Dover on the half-hour, but you have to be there 15-20 minutes early, so call it 10 after the hour. It then takes two hours (minimum) to get to the FIRST terminal at Logan, so in reality, I'd have to leave my house almost an hour before the bus I want to catch in order to make it.
Bottom line, if I left for the airport at the same time I left for the Dover bus terminal, I'd be at Logan right about the time that bus left Portsmouth. About 90 minutes difference.
They said there'd be no math. G. Ford :-)
That post sounds like an eighth grade algebra problem. :lmao:
(I have never been fond of leaving a vehicle anywhere south of the Merrimack fearing cinder block syndrome)
-
Again, I've also parked at Logan. Never had a problem.

Yeah well no where did I say it was a rational fear. :rotf:
Enjoy your time away. Last year we came home to about a foot and a half of snow in the driveway. Had to snow blow before we could even get the car in to take out the bags.
-
Yeah, I've had trips like that too. Good times...good times.

Sounds like the time I was lifting at the gym, wasn't paying close enough attention, and dropped a 45-lb weight from chest height onto my foot. Needless to say, I didn't do my run for a few days after that. Nasty, shoe barely fit, but nothing broken.
Hmmmm...I brought a pair of shorts and t-shirt to work out if I feel stupid/insane enough to spend the $25 fee for the spa/gym. Maybe if I want to hit the sauna/steam room to clear the congestion from all the smoke, but that's about it.
Since I'm still suffering from a sinus infection, that is one more reason to avoid the smoke of the casinos.
A saline nasal wash usually works good to help flush the contaminants out of your nasal passages.

zeit--thanks for the snow jinx. Snowstorm coming in Wednesday. And right now, I'm in the "final" cold stage, that is, the "blow-everything-out-of-your-lungs-and-nose" phase. Whee. People are SO gonna love me hacking up a lung on a cross-country flight. I'm thinking Nyquil as I get on the plane.

You are the person I always end up next to on an airplane and then 3 days later get sick.
:hammer:
Go get some Tylenol cold and sinus....will dry you right up!!

Been on the Zicam since Wednesday. Taking some Nyquil this evening, and again when I get on the plane tomorrow. I'll be zonked for the cattle car cross-country flight, at least. Since when do you have to go to LA to make a connecting flight to Vegas? At least I've got an extra 1000 FF miles out of it.

I've never taken Zicam, but Runnin' Buddy swears by it....she has severe allergies and says it's sometimes better than her Rx stuff. I haven't taken Nyquil since it first came out and made me very woozy. But whatever works for you is best!
Beats me on the flights....we went to Minneapolis to get a connector to Omaha. I didn't even look to see what I picked up in miles....

We have had two solid days of heavy rain. In 2009 we had less then one inch for the entire year...we've already had about 2 inches so far this year.
The rain is fine with me, it keeps me inside while I recover. I'm still really bored...thank goodness for middle of the night botty calls or I would be nuts by now. :evillaugh:

I went out for a while Monday night after work & caught up on my gambling. I won, everyone wins, but I really do. Went back last night, won again, in fact, I won two hand pay jackpots five minutes apart.
So to make a long story short, I kept my head out of my ass and cleared $1100 last night on top of $225 the night before....it took 90 minutes. Both jackpots were non-reportable. Two weeks ago I won $1295 all at once and that came with IRS papers...speaking of the IRS...I made about the same "taxable income" as two years ago, yet my tax liability has jumped a few hundred. Did the President lie to me?
I hope Spakry had a nice trip and stayed out of jail.

Prime rib? Pfft. The days of the all-you-can-eat $7.77 buffet are long gone. Christ, the BREAKFAST buffet was nearly $20.

Reno's not too much better. Mrs. E and I went out to eat at a brunch with a friend and her guy friend. A couple hundred bucks later, we sailed outta there with the wallet a lot emptier than it had been.
(The babes had champagne, though, for $60 a bottle. Oh, wait. That wasn't French "champagne". That was some kinda Cold Duck or some such. :rotf: )
-
Yeah, I hear ya--if you're not getting "comped" for the beer while you're playing, it was $6 a bottle for the domestic stuff.
They had a "special" on Bud products during the SB at TI. 5 for $20...whoo-hoo...what a bargain.

There are still some great deals on meals in Vegas.
Some are two for one deals that require a companion. Two of us had lunch yesterday for $8.99.

Many times, I eat for free.
Most of the deals are not on the strip during a busy weekend. Was the $20 buffet really good? I bet it was......

No, but I came back with money I had otherwise not expected to have. Call it a budgeting win.
And they sucked ass on their SB bets.
