  1. Harlingen? Shit. Someone needs to go to jail for that. I got to spend 5 weeks in Harlingen this summer. That was the worst 20 years of my life.
  2. So, I'm looking at doing a status run to keep my Platinum status with AA for the next year. I need about 3350 EQMS so I was looking around and I can get a little over 4K EQMs for a QUICK weekend trip to Boston. Fly in late Friday, have all day to do stuff in Boston, then fly out Sun morning. Flight is $298 - which is a cheap price to pay to keep Platinum (plus I get mini vacation). Hotel is paid by points. I've been to Boston before - about 5 years ago. So, I've done the Freedom Trail and a lot of the big highlights. So, I'm looking for some lesser known things to do. Also food/drink recs. I may go back to the Bell in Hand...that WAS a pretty cool place.
  3. Stay inside the resorts...
  4. Just saw earlier that the AMEX Plat and Plat Bus were offering 20-25K MR points for adding authorized users (and they each spend $2k in 6 mo). First 3 AUs cost $175. So, for $175 you could get up to 75K MR points. Not saying it's a great offer, but it's an offer...if anyone was looking at adding AUs...
  5. This is a good breakfast. My cousin owns a condo a short walk down the road from this place. He goes there every time he's in town (and so do we).
  6. Downtown or Southside?
  7. I understood that they were 2 separate requirements. AA has requirements like that. But, I thought he was discussing getting the status PAST that flight. And WTF did the 40/segment x 4 = 160/segment shit come into play in that discussion? I'm going to guess that not everyone on here works for TPG and speaks in travelese....
  8. BTW, totally unrelated to the spat above... If you're AA, check your account. I had a Status Challenge to Platinum available yesterday. 3 months at Plat and you get to keep it if you meet the criteria, I think 12K EQMs and $2K EQDs or something close to that. Allowed me to bump my seats for my next 2 trips up to Main Cabin Extra for the legroom at least.
  9. Where do you tell me anything about BA Silver in this? Or oneworld lounge access? How do I get 600 tier points? Is it related to the 40/segment? But, then, 4 segments only gets 160 which is <<< than 600 for the 4 segments. Do you see how that could be a bit cryptic?
  10. Well, for starters, you didn't say anything about either of those????
  11. Don't have Flagship access...The advice above was a little cryptic in trying to get it too... Now, I just did a status challenge with AA today so I'm Platinum now,. Maybe that'll help.
  12. The normal time we arrive on gameday weekends - 0945 or so. Usually there's a bit of a line but this one stretched all the way to the back. Sat down to eat at 1130. Only 2 briskets left after we got our food. And a bit of sausage. Chicken ran out at 0848 (they write it on a sign by the door). All sides were gone.
  13. Went to Snow's last weekend. Line was insane. I've never seen it that long. Food was worth it, though. Snow's always delivers in the flavor department. Had my nephew's GF with and she mentioned that sometimes places get so hyped that when you get there you're disappointed...and she was NOT disappointed.
  14. FWIW, Centurion Club >>> Admirals Club Admirals Club charges you for drinks if you're not getting well liquor or the bottom end beer. And food selection is meh. Don't get me wrong, though, it's better than NO lounge by a long shot.
  15. You actually pay those grifters???
  16. If you're jonesing for one of these...and I am... Go to Taco Casa and get a Chilada... In fact...I think a some of the items that used to be on the original TB menu are still on the Taco Casa menu... You want Pintos and Cheese? Order the Frijoles. I mentioned the Chilada. BTW, the Chili Burger is REALLY good.
  17. Why did I first read this as Moose Knuckle when I glanced at it?
  18. I remember those days from my childhood in England...SOOOOOO good.
  19. They still remember the abomination? Either that or "Taco Bell" is code speak for "Cartels"
  20. I DID find out last week that our research center is going to building up another office in downtown in the old JC Penney building (which TAMU-CC bought a few years ago). Since, I'll be in charge of a lot of the stuff that gets set up in that center I may be spending more time downtown than I ever have. Will be interesting...maybe I'll finally have an excuse to try all these places down there since I won't immediately leave the Bluff and head straight back OTB....
  21. Did you mean N Padre Island and not Port A? Because all of those are here on NPI.
  22. Surprised you didn't say the McRib...
  23. I had Palenque several times when I was staying down in Harlingen this summer. That stuff is the shit. I was impressed!
