Sweet CO specials
I meant to post about this sooner.... but... it's been a busy week.
Anyway, there is still about an hour and a half to book one of Continental's travel specials from this week, and they turned out to be REALLY good this time.
The offerings to Latin America were better than usual, including the first flight to Caracas I've seen in nearly two years of watching for that particular special. There are also flights to Colombia and Costa Rica. But that Caracas one is really sweet.
I'll have to take advantage of Caracas some other time, though, as we have a fun long weekend planned for Philadelphia, starting with an early Saturday morning departure. Independence Hall, here we come. Woo!
UPDATE (04-14-2008): Philadelphia was great fun, and we stayed so busy that there was no time to pay much attention to Obama's elitist attitude towards rural Pennsylvanians or Clinton's efforts to capitalize on his condescension. The main problem was not enough time to do it all, besides take it in for future trips (esp the museums). We did hit the historical landmarks and a Phillies game (nice park, but weird flashbacks seeing former Astro Eric Bruntlett suck in the field, and former Astro manager Jimy Williams suck as head man after Charlie Manuel got tossed), got in some good driving tours, and had some nice meals. Thanks to Evelynne (and Poindexter) and Ethan for taking so much time to show us around (and special thanks to P for grabbing those great philly steaks -- mmmm!).
UPDATE 2 (04-14-2008): I forgot to mention that I took the EEE PC along on this short trip. The only bag I took was a Victorinox backpack as my carryon. It easily held my clothes (in a packing cube), toiletries, the EEE, various chargers and cables, and my book. I didn't use the EEE all that much (busy -- plus I had friends to act as concierges this time!), but it was perfect for travel -- barely noticeable in the pack. It's a sweet, easily packable, capable enough machine for those of us who like to travel light. People who want the EEE to be a powerhouse, cost <$400, AND weigh two pounds are likely to be disappointed, though.
