Nothing quite like free breakfast, free booze, free wireless internet. This ALMOST makes up for the inconvenience.
Anyway, good morning.

Some vacation huh? Must be almost time for you to come home...
It's a hell of a better place to wait for a flight than sitting at the gate, that's for sure.McGRP01 said:
What'd they serve you for breakfast? How long until your flight? Did you manage to get a first class upgrade? What kind of booze you drinkin' at 8:00AM?
True, true...robdamanii said:
Answer my questions, god dammit. 
i'm guessing it's the lounge, where they have all sorts of solid and liquid refreshment laid out in a serve yrself manner.
best lounge i've had the privilege of entry is the British Air lounge @ Heathrow...one of the wines they had available was a '96 brunello (poggio antico) which was fantastic.

Bagels with the usual fixin's, fruit, coffee, tea, and screwdrivers.I Are Baboon said:
just don't get completely bombed and start giving the flight attendents $1 bills thinking that they are strippers. not a good idea.
Hope you guys have a fabulous vacation!!

kicked off the very first day of downhill season this year with mimosas.

Screwdrivers make me think of college

Although they are tasty, mimosas are the drink of old women at Sunday Brunch who need a break from bloody marys.
My favorite experience was in the Korean Air Business Class Lounge in Seoul....they know how to treat the paying customers...w0w! We had upgraded using miles for our honeymoon to Thailand and it was worth it.
On our 14 hour layover (Somehow our connecting flights NEVER lined up...I still can't figure out why...) in Seoul, I was pretty much obliterated for 13:57 of it. And by obliterated, I mean I had trouble finding my seat when I was already sitting in it.... They had chivas, sapphire, grey goose, and beam...."Gee...I think I'll just have to pour myself a double, or a triple...ahhhh...that's good....") ....I was in heaven. Not to mention the showers (getting the travelling funk off of ya is soooo nice.) and 42" plasmas.

I was in the America Airlines Admiral Club In DFW that was Quite nice on a 6 hr Layover due to missed connection. ! especially when the other group was the Standford University Basket Ball Team that had just advanced to the Sweet 16. was a very jovial place.
The Delta lounge in Atlanta is fantabulous. Spoiled me rotten, then it was first class to Lima. Wunnerful!

A couple of screwdrivers REALLY took the edge off of security, which managed to not even touch all my camera gear, but got highly exasperated with my dive reg.
So, got down to grand cayman around 2 eastern (we're an hour behind), and had to wait until a 5:05 puddle jumper to Cayman Brac. Now, when I say puddle jumper, I mean a fricken DeHavelin (sp) TwinOtter. Liek...16 seats, props, that was a fricken experience. ALMOST didn't get all the luggage on due to the weight limit of that little **** of a plane.
After a 40 minute BOILING hot plane ride in which we stopped at Little Cayman (it was a landing strip, not an airport; an honest to god crushed coral landing STRIP), we landed at Brac, got to the hotel, got dinner, and started drinking.
No, I'm not yet three sheets to the wind. No I don't plan to be any worse han I am now with a few dirnks in me since I have a 9 AM dive boat. No I won't take pictures of the chicks here for you hornballs.
The only awful part is the horrendous current pop music the local radio is playing, and that the resort finds necessary to blast all over the bar/pool/outdoor dining area.
