Check out the airport 389 bus. Says the last bus leaves at 10 pm. 2 hour trip to north Pattaya. 134 baht. Later, SB

Decided to go with Tiger Air out of Clark. Would up being half the price as CP from Cebu. Later, SB

Noticed on Vayama some really attractive fares from LAX to MNL for around 500 to 600 bucks for sept and oct. Been long time since I've seen them that low. Guessing BKK would be in the same price range. Later, SB

Heading off to the Philippines for 6 months so will be tracking this promo for awhile. Bought time I got back to Thailand for Chinese New Years. Later,SB.

Thats not exactly true, flew United in premium economy a few years ago and for an extra hundred bucks, not only got the extra legroom, but got a vacant seat next to me. Very important if you got a 300 pounder sitting next to you. There were a lot of vacant middle seats in that part of the plane. Money well spent in my opion. Later, SB

Didnt buy any meat from the market but, did buy some sandals from the area that I am still wearing today. Took me Chinese massage lady along with me to do the bargaining.

Any chance the tube runs from Heathrow to Stansted?

With Air Asia jumping into the game, it might make sense to fly the Atlantic route to Asia from America.

Flew Economy Plus on the way to LOS. Hope to get it on the way back home. Worth the extra 100 bucks from LAX to NRT. A little extra leg room but, usually an empty seat in the middle. Later, SB

I'm guessing you can use a mulligan if you don't hit your drive past the ladies tee box.

Sorry to hear that Dungheap and Fornicator will not be making the cup this year. Will miss you partners. Dungheap never told me what sledging was, so I could have worked on it. Will just have to practice my sledging tonight in Phnom Penh. Later guys, SB

One more day till wheels up. Not as good as being there but, hey you have to start somewhere. Later, SB

Doggie, put me down for the Rideher cup this year. Went out yesterday for me annual practice round. After popping up me drives to the left and shanking me wedges to the right, I'm fine tuned to go. HDCP: 18 Shirt: XL Country: Americana Clubs: Rental

Was quite flattered the last time I ordered a drink at the Atlanta airport. I'm well over 50 and they asked for my ID. Grandma comes along and sits down next to me and they asked for her ID also. Guess I wasn't as young looking as I thought. Later, SB

Stayed there about 5 years ago for about 350 baht a night. Rooms about the size of a walk in closet. Nice pool and ok buffet. In the 1000 baht range, think that Dynasty Inn or Nana better deal. Later, SB

Usually can get a few good laughs out of the cadies at Phoenix. Had a caddy one time to tell me playing partner to more or less to go f__k himself. One caddy was going to take me to her mountaintop. I declined. While trying to pick a caddy one time, one of them ran and hid from me. Damn, didn't know I was that ugly. Thought I was handsum man. Later, SB

Went into a karaoke bar in that area a couple of years ago. Located a couple of doors down from the bank and the corner bar where all the motorbike taxis hang out at. Nice layout in there. Big screen with couches boxed around it. My tg wasn't much of a singer, so only had one drink and left. Later, SB

Torrenova, the massage place across from your bar is my favorite. Ususally stop in there once a day while in town. Been hitting up on a cuttie there for 4 years now with no luck. The last time I was there, she kept telling me that her last customer only tip her 20 baht, 20 Baht, 20 BAHT. Ok, I got the hint. I know it's probably not your local hangout, but 5 bucks is still cheap for a massage. Later, SB

Jmac, I see you have finally made it to Pattaya. I would suggest you check out the Areca Lodge on Soi Dianne. In the center of town and around 1000 baht a night. Don't have too much fun there. Might need to save some for the party in Costa Rica. Later, SB

The big boom is in international funds. EFA fund returns are 100% greater than the S&P 500. Later, SB

Check out walmart, the nokia 1100 is going for about 20 bucks. Later, SB

Would suggest you start with short times at first. Get to know the person before shelling out the big bucks. A lot cheaper on the budget in case you run into some starfishes. As far as not barfining the first girl you run into, not sure if that is correct. She just might be the hottest thing you will see your first night. Good luck, SB

Was going to try to book LK Mansions for 3 weeks in Oct/Nov. Maybe they are just not interested untill you give them you cc number. We"ll see. Later, SB

Don't think you will have any problem finding some golfing buddies during that timeframe. RideHer Cup V is during that week. Best time of the year to be in Pattaya. Good luck and hope to see you in Nov. Later, SB

Sorry guys, will not be able to make it this year. Just had a leg opertion. Still hobbling around on one leg, so don't think I could keep up with the 36 hdcpers. Sounds like you are going to have a great tourny this year. Good luck to all. Later, SB
