  1. PJ Tucker sitting in 2A on AA flight IAH to ORD. I am sitting in 3B (humble brag) and he has orange shirt on. Cant tell if it is UT t-shirt.

  3. I really can't really complain about upgrade %. I am Monday/Friday flyer and book short notice and still sitting at maybe 60%. If I was less than 20% I probably would credit to BA or AS.
  4. I have entertained the idea of switching to DL or UA but being over 2 million AA miles (lifetime plat) and DFW based the waisted times is not worth it. I flew during the golden years and will fondly remember the easy upgrades. As long as economy is good and no competition, us customer's are screwed. I have to admit though it really is time the airline industry started making a profit.
  5. How much is Powerball tonight? 😜
  6. Huh? Not sure why you are asking about CK if you aren’t going to qual to explat. CK is usually people that spend north of 50K per year. Should be in biz as a minimum. Even then no guarantees. Lots of DFW captives spend more and don’t get it. AA knows what a hub captive is. If not in that demographic your only hope is you work for a corporate customer that does a lot of AA travel and travel coordinator gets a lot of CK to give to employees. My (company) spend for myself is avg. about 25-28k per year. All Y. I have a better chance of winning lotto then getting CK.
  7. Manuel Antonio. Arenal Volcano. Stay at base and do pools. Pools temp go up higher you go up. Do day trips from both locations. Enough to do at both locations to fill about 6 days.
  8. Lots of hotels around, just depends on price. Know that LHR hotels won’t have shuttles. There is a bus that stops at the bigger hotels. I think it does come every 30 minutes. $5 pounds if I remember right. Cant remember the name of the service. Hotels that have it will have schedule of the bus’s and which terminal they go to.
  9. If you haven’t booked yet see what the airlines page gives you.
  10. All of you are WRONG!!!! Bloody Mary, The champ.
  11. I was just confused by your sit down service statements. Personally I feel like I'm in bbq joint when standing in line to order. After all the reviews here next time I am in Houston area I will try to make a "3 martini" lunch foray to Galveston.
  12. Huh? My post agreed that sit down service won't work. I am confused. Are you saying it will or won't?
  13. What? Surely (haha) not serious. I want to see what i am getting. Had a wife's coworker open a que place once with sit down service. (Oklahoma idjit) and it failed spectacularly. BBQ in Texas means get in line and choose your cuts.

    Soul Food

    I so remember Dot's. Used to work close (a 100 years ago) and loved it. Was kinda disappointed when I realized "soul food" was what grew up eating. I always thought I didn't like collard greens and have recently been shown the light. If you have a goto recipe I would love to have it for next week when I do crappie, pintos, hush puppies and greens.
  15. Raw onions suck x a billion. Cooked onions only suck x a .5 billion.
  16. Kinda off topic but help me out. Sitting here in Curacao and while people are nice and prices are ok I am once again disillusioned. Been to a few Carib islands and none have any wow factor. I am looking for great wildlife tours. Great light tackle fishing. Great scuba. If they take US dollars I think they have to suck. Any ideas?
  17. Leftover bacon, pastrami and pimento cheese grilled. Not shown is chipotle Tabasco. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Shutup. You talking about it ain’t keeping the tourist from visiting.
  19. Freddy's double burger is better than Whataburger.
  20. New Mexico red chili posole is the best stew/soup in the world.
  21. Vancouver. End of story. Good coffee on a sidewalk shop downtown. Aquarium. Stanley Park. Day trip to whistler. Wife can shop at Granville island. Victoria Day trip. Very dog friendly place some places allow you to bring your dog to work. Can also visit Seattle in same trip Have always said if I win lottery I would live there 7-8 months a year.

    Dallas | BBQ

    I get there are different taste for all. 1st criteria of TX bbq is crust on brisket. Hutchins is awesome. Never had Franklin's so no comparison. 2nd is pork ribs. Hutchins is good St.Louis cut with a small crust. Any other criteria is bullshit. Sides no matter how good is dressing a pig. Something you don't do in Texas.
  23. I hate to say it but I love this shit. 140-150 nights a year in hotel this shit keeps me entertained.
  24. As a McKinney resident, I appreciate this post. All the way down to the CostCo paper plates. Off topic but have you tried the beef rib? I was really worried when they expanded and added commercial smokers. 1st time I was not impressed. This time it was all perfect, again. Crust on that rib would make grown man cry.
