I saw Rita Rudner a couple of years ago before her show room was
upgraded. My Wife and I thought she was pretty funny.

If you don't mind a little walk you might try the San Remo Steak and
Eggs special.

It's easy to do, we put a little too much in and probably had a couple inches
of water but bubbles overflowing LOL.

Too bad. Sounds like you are well into the game. Don't know many people who are
into bubble bath anymore, nor any at all who have irritated urinary tracts!!!

1. Can't say for sure, but I've been told the difference is minor. Not
worth extra money, but worth asking for a free upgrade when you check
in.

2. America still there

3. You probably won't get the casino rate. It's not so much the
3-years, but just that almost everybody is phasing out casino rates.
But it's *always* worth asking.

4. With airlines, the key is to know what a good rate is. Then keep
checking with the airline to see. Rates bounce around all over the
place - be preparted to pounce.But you are almost always better off
booking more than 30/21/14 days in advance. So if you are approacing
one of those dealines and the rate is at all reasonable take it rather
than hold out for the best rate.

SWA email list has some good deals, but the best thing to do is download
"Ding"
and watch it daily and be ready to purchase when a good fare comes up. With
SWA if you buy the fare today, and get a lower fare next week, you can
cancel your first flight and rebook. You can use those "dollars" to
purchase another ticket. Of course if fare goes down, you'll have dollars
left over....to spend on your next flight!
