Anyone interested in sharing a late nite taxi down to Pattaya? I'm scheduled to land on NW1 at 23.35 on the night of 20 June. 25 days, 20 hours, 54 minutes to takeoff.

One day? That pains me more than you can imagine. Sigh. Well, have an amazing time and don't leave any of them so worn and torn that they can't get back in the game by the time I get there. Let the healing (yours, anyway) begin. 43 and counting, but not quick enough.

Today, United was quoting (via Orbitz.com) roundtrips of $594 from SFO for 19 June to 08 July; $606 from LAX. Middle of the country seemed to be going for $750 to $900. Beats (considerably) what prices have been going for. 44 Days to the great healing.

Dougie - Thanks. I'm just trying to do the math on the combo of traveler's cheques, cash and ATM withdrawls for the trip-to-be. Your info is helpful.

My ATM card is part of the "Cirrus" system in the U.S. and my credit cards all seem to be the "Plus" system. Any input on the compatibility of these systems with ATM's in LOS would be more than greatly appreciated. Thanks Having lousy time...wish I was there: 54 days and change to takeoff.

Going to be in town 21 June and am having trouble deciding (actually having trouble doing anything but staring at the calendar in the hopes of moving it along) between Residence Garden (1 bedroom suites, guest policy, amenities, location, restaurant), or Jomtien Boathouse (Seaview at good price, bedroom only, Jomtien location, restaurant, guest policy), or Eastiny (great price with offered upgrade to superior room, location). The qualities I've listed could be considered "good" or "bad" depending, but I wanted to try and get as much well-earned, expert advice as possible. The trip will be one of those forget-the-real-world, too much booze, too much TG, too much food blowouts that life writes us a prescription for every so often. Thanks in advance for all the wisdom. 58 Days until the step through the looking glass.
