    Oh go for it, think of the story you'll have to tell. You know M767 you could try singing (instead of the screaming) to calm your nerves, just don't sing anything depressing like any song from Steely Dan.
    On a road trip once I awoke to RJ singing - chorus

    " I'll learn to work the saxophone
    I'll play just what I feel
    Drink Scotch whisky all night long
    And die behind the wheel
    They got a name for the winners in the world
    I want a name when I lose
    They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
    Call me Deacon Blues "

    Steely Dan - Deacon Blues YouTube - Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

    Played it 3 times, called it the ultimate blues/jazz road song....... it did give me pause, just as we entered the Eisenhower Tunnel (boy was I glad to see Denver.)

    Yea. Great tune. Good video. Steely Dan the man. I bought an emachine the other day cuz my computer crashed, so the speakers I have don't comply with this emachine, gotta get some speakers with some serious volume. Volume now is very very low, can barely hear it. I hear emachines aren't the greatest but I got some serious memory on this thing. It's fast brah!

    Check out this video. I love that Vietnamese dancer in this show.

    Flying in a plane over the ocean, Andes, wherever--piece of cake--I have excellent pilots and MX to keep me safe as I cruise in the sky lounging in a metal living room...
    Just a fear.

    best laid plans of spouse and men...
    weather in midwest crippled flights to darn near everywhere!!
    I never saw so many HK's in my life--every LIM flt had 35-50 inconvenienced/misconnected pax
    Mostly I think due to tour groups that "had" to fly together--one large Asian bunch of about 15 on one standby list. those poor people were helpless and clueless about anything. GA's had trouble pronouncing names and group had deer in headlights look--like a little herd of goats in the road.
    we moved hotel/taxi arrangements so many times I got dizzy. Finally realized we MIGHT get on in anotehr day and it was too much sitting in ATL hotel.
    So we tried IST, ATH, MAD, BCN--HKG, SEA--you name it, we couldn't get to gateway in NY or DTW or ANYWHERE. except one flight to MCO was open and we headed there and went to sister's in Daytona.
    WHat a disaster!
    SOOOO--I talked Boss into going during his no fly days. The hotel was going to cancel 100% if I didnt give new dates yesterday.
    More when I get there!!
    Palms--tell your brotehr about a Pisco distillery: El Sarcay de Azpitia. It's where my friends went without us and said it was great!

    Sorry to hear all that. Summers suck for travel. The bro seems to be hung up with important meetings and people. Tells me he met the Peruvian President. Garcia.

    You plan and plan, rearrange schedules, watch loads for weeks, and it all boils down to.........the weather.

    Default Vanderschmuk

    Joran Vanderschmuk met up with the daughter of a Peruvian politician that ran for the presidency. Not the same guy.

    the worst part of this is that there are no major weather issues and today there are 33 HK's and 25 nonrevs.
    ACK !! (doing my best "Bill the Cat" impression)

    Oh, you're right- but didn't her father run for the VICE presidency? This whole bunch sounds like they're morally bankrupt
