Thread: On the Fly Trip

My recent favorite was a quick overnight trip to OR. We flew up on Saturday morning then went to Mt. Hood to do a snowmobile tour for a couple of hours, had dinner with my brother and flew home early Sunday morning. A couple of months ago I wanted to go to the fish market in Seattle so I simply flew up, went to the market and flew home with my purchases. I don't do it very much anymore because I am definitely getting a little old for such a long day.

Seattle? Donna you really like to "catch" fish. *wink*

I'll get my hat *laughing*

Hopped the shuttle down to dca to get some pastries from Paul’s, a French bakery I discovered on a recent trip to Paris.

Mig, you’ll appreciate this one. Was having an in n out craving one long holiday weekend and as seats were wide open in F, flew to LAX, took the sepulveda parking shuttle and had a double double, animal style of course. Fries and shake to wash it down.

Oh yeah I can definitely identify with an IN & Out craving-luckily, it's only a 15 minute drive to satisfy mine. BTW, next time you're at an IN-N-Out try the "animal fries/or crispy fries with your burger (shhh..secret menu items). You can also ask for your burger "animal style"---but I say..... why mess with perfection. *wink*


Edited to add
I'm sorry to report that the "free ride" to the LAX In-N-Out is no longer available. NOW you have to show your garage parking ticket OR your Parking Spot Club Loyalty card (which is free when you join the free club) to board the shuttle. *wink*

I have done lots of daytrips.
We did 6 hours in NYC recently because my Daughter wanted to see Times Square. We also walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.

I think my craziest ever was LAS-EWR-MIA-CPT-MIA-IAH-LAS on CO, SA, and HP
Was in CPT for just 30 hours.

We did an on the fly once while in ATL, where we had just come back from 3 days in GGT. I still had some time off, so with about an hour before departure, we decided to go to DUB.

Good to know about the shuttle. Looks like they just got a new member. ��

V, I'm thinking you have the whole packing-for-any-eventuality-regardless-of-how-remote thing, down pat.

I'm a member, got a card and everything.

Went to Japan for sushi, SLC-PDX-NRT, HND-SFO-SLC, was on the ground for approx. 8 hours, total trip time was about 36 hours.
I do not think they have the midnight flight out of HND to make this possible any more.
