Off to bed...need to go at a reasonable hour tonight, b/c tomorrow I'll be too excited to sleep and then I'll have to get up at (gulp) 4:15 Wednesday morning....so close! so close!!

Yep one night and a wake up call!
Get some sleep!!

I'll have had an attitude adjustment by then ... and you're right ... who can be sad around YOUR sweet, smiling face!

See you soon.

Any ideas on how I can bring my corn hole boards as checked-luggage?

Hmmm...break it down into smaller pieces. Then we can somehow "connect" them back together for use. Of course, don't forget about the "weight" aspect too...

Use a jigsaw on it???

OK, bad idea.

They make travel sizes...don't guess that is what you have.

So I checked American Airlines size limits for checked-baggage....linear inches no larger than 62....boards are 2.5 x 22.5 x 33.5= 58.5 linear inches....and they weigh 27.2 lbs. but then....

OH THIS IS HILARIOUS!!!!

American Airlines gives ONE free checked bag to "Customers who purchase full-fare tickets in Economy Class". I couldn't tell if that's what I bought, so I called.

After navigating the voice recognition software (which I actually think is kinda fun) I got to an agent. I asked if I paid a "full-fare" price, to which she told me the full-fare price was over $1000.....so in order to get ONE free bag I would have needed to spend more than another $700.....suddenly the $25 checked-bag fee looks cheap....but in this case I won't be paying it

....so I'm not bringing my cornhole boards

SWA bro

My issue with SWA from my place to Dallas is NON-DIRECT flights.....and in this situation, I kinda needed to be at DFW for pick-up as I'm trying to squeeze myself into someone elses itinerary


But yes, that would have solved this little issue

I KNOW!!

And I could tell, she said it with a straight face. No chuckle, no sense of "now this is crazy", just flat out, that would have been $1,450,789.63 sir......

Making the great escape
