  1. But they are not using 747 on that long-haul route that OK mentioned. .... at least not last I flew on it.
  2. One more note. A small dose of Xanax does not make you a zonk. Remember some who suffers from serious anxiety disorders take the medication daily and still go to work. I take my dose as I board the plane and I am generally asleep before take-off, but I always tell the flight attendant to wake me up for the meal and I easily do and just as easily go back to sleep again. The big problem with Xanax is that it is an addictive drug so those with dependency issues should not use it and no one should take it with any frequencies. I take transoceanic flights about 6-8 times a year and that i
  3. It was during a routine physical a few years ago I asked my doctor for sleeping pills for long plane rides 7 hours +. My doctor said that sleeping pill on flights is not a good idea if an emergency should arise. It was his idea to prescribe a light (0.5mg) dose ox Xanax. In further conversation with my doctor I asked if I could take Melatonin at the same time and he said yes. Given that part of my sleep problem on long flights was restless legs syndrome, he further recommended 1/3 aspirin each of three days before flight and a full strength on the day of departure. Finally he suggested
  4. In principle I agree with you about the 24 hours and I have never understood the importance things like eye-candy in the air. Managing your sleep and other activity does, however, extend beyond 24 hours. Some suffer very little from jet-lag and other tremendously so. If you are one who suffers, then sleep management and dietary considerations can seriously improve the first 4-8 days of your holiday. Travel Planing, The Journey
  5. See a doctor, pop some pills and sleep all the way and you will not know whether you are flying one airline or another. I generally sleep gate to gate on the transpacific segment and most of the way on the intra-Asian segment.
  6. Take a good look at yourself, and I don't mean how you look, by inwards I mean inside. It appears to me that anyone you disagree are viewed by you as crippled, imbeciles, lame, mental, etc. ; just to mention a few of the many derogatory terms you have been throwing around. I have said it several times before and will say it once more. If you had the ability to treat others with a bit of decency you could easily be one of the most valued members a board could have. Your opinion counts and it has value. Anyone would be silly not to take note when you speak sensibly. Unfortunately any vi
  7. I know that in Pattaya agogo is generally associated with some level of nudity and I to resort to that determination from time to time. That said nudity has NOTHING to do with the definition (English) of the word agogo. A-go-go - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster ... Definition of A-GO-GO: a nightclub for dancing to popular music : disco Origin of A-GO-GO: Whisky à Gogo, café and discotheque in Paris, France, from French à gogo galore, from Middle French First Known Use: 1965 a gogo - definition of a gogo by the Free Online Dictionary ... à go·go or à·go-go adv.In a
  8. I believe the answer is "No, not guest friendly", but I have never stayed there. That said Hilton is said to be the same, but as an elite HH member I talked with the hotel manager before booking and he said no problem. It really did not matter as I was never questioned anyway. One way to reduce the chance of paying guest fee is to book for two and register the first BF. As you are questioned about additional bar fines, say "Already registered", they may ask for your room number and see there there are two. I have done this both at Holiday Inn and Swissotel in Bangkok.
  9. Have you ever tried to reflect inwards?
  10. Salt Lake City airport concourse C and D. Always get a free whiff when I walk by.
  11. Flew China Airlines just once, LA-Taipei-Bangkok. Average +
  12. On another forum, someone wrote: My reply was: In many respects, unfortunately so. Though I (by birth) am not really an American, this event has burned a mark for life. It puzzles me how many American (and others alike) are forgetting it or sweeping it under the rug. Rest assured that unless someone else does not beat me to it ... I will repeat this thread EVERY year. I do want to thank those with an opposing views who saw my plea for not making argumentative or polarizing posts for refraining from doing so. I hope that our tendency to forget (or to let time heal) does not le
  13. Thanks for keeping the album updated. This part confuse me though: 5555
  14. It takes no effort anywhere in Pattaya; aside from a lady drink. Over 16 trips I have, perhaps, had 3 ladies decline my company. If you have to put an effort in to score in Pattaya a little reflection may be in order. I do agree that the Devil's Den (Hell Club) is for the occasional experience. I used to go often (actually Eden Club), now it is a double takeout every second trip.
  15. It has been 8 years now and we will never forget. Remembering all the children, women and men who lost their lives; and those brave people who gave their lives on 11 September 2001. Our thought will be with the friends and families who still mourn their loses. Do take a moment to remember and reflect. May I kindly ask that this thread not be used for argumentative or polarized posts as it is not the time or place. Also for the mods to help in this regard.

  17. Revolutionary Apple Computer Amazing!!!
  18. Would like to hear peoples experiences with dental implants. Yes. Do they look real? Yes. Do they feel real? Yes. Any problems? No. Are you happy with the results? Yes. , Did you have them done at home Yes or Thailand No , etc. Turned out that the price in Thailand was almost as high once I factor in dental insurance. With that in mind I wouldn't ruin even a single day of vacation. Even though the serious discomfort should be no more than 24 hours, the wound is exposed for many days. So be careful what you lick, if you know what I mean. Another thing to consider when having a major m
  19. I stayed at the Flipper House in Soi 7 last November. High season rate was 1000 even. The room and hotel was all right and probably a good deal for 1k Nothing negative to say. My expectations for a hotel is a little higher so I moved on.
