I have an older plan called 2 Line One All In Plan and when traveling internationally I also get 5g Speed when available for 5gb of data. After that it throttles my speed to 256 kbs (unlimited). I've only passed the 5 Gb usage a couple times and the 256 was ok for using maps etc but little else.

Enjoying your live post. The photos are incredible.

I think I got the same treatment once coming through JFK. It was a connecting flilght so got the treatment both in San Francisco and then again at JFK. In my case at the entry to the plane the took me aside to a screened off area to do the secondary. I have a feeling that even with Global Entry it is just random. On this one Iain got it and I didn't. We have never both been tagged on the same trip.

That would indeed be a long trip. I guess the question is do you just bite the bullet and do it in one huge trip or spread it out over a couple days. I usually find the hardest part is to get my head around it pre-flight but once on board just buy an internet package and carry on.

I've done it before on a B2B in an upper suite. My intention was to give it do him on turn around day and expecting it back in 2 days.... it came back that night.... I'm sure our butler did some special pushing behind the scene. I often send out our dinner jackets when we first board to be pressed and always get them back for 1st Chic night the next day.

It is incredible when those Winter Storms hit... I'm sure many are amazed that they get Snow on the peaks.... Hope you get a nice show of colors from the rains.

Iain is cooking up a batch now. He always makes a big batch and then we freeze it for future meals. This one I thin he used 4 lbs of Ground Turkey. We have been eating the poultry version so long I now find the Lamb version far too rich. Iain remembers the Vesta Curries but was never and still is not a curry fan.

I haven't figured out yet how I will post. I will probably do a comparison Live Review - possibly split it up so don't abuse the CC policies of staying on subject of the thread.

Fantastic -- I think you will enjoy. The only downside is the long flight to Sydney.

The small groups I've been on are usually the 20 passenger tour busses. In Fiji we had a small group jeep tour and most only had drier, guide and two guests. We had one odd person so had to ride 3 pax in that jeep.

I found the Ice Cream in OVC ok and of course in the Gelato area. I think it was confined to Vanilla in Luminae. The waiter said they had a new recipe. If a desert had a gelato with it I would order the Gelato instead. The gelato were all good.

Thanks --- will keep into consideration. I haven't booked the air yet. We are taking Cunard from NY to Southampton and then will be visiting Iain's family in Scotland pre-cruise so will have to figure out how much time we have

We have a friend that went through a similar situation. I'm really sorry for you loss. In her case she was able to shift to a Single and got Double points.

Recently they have also had 3 types of small sandwiches in the afternoon tea time.

They don't have the entire menu but can make the regulars --as well as many that have booze in them. They do not have pastries or snacks... They also sell Premium OJ, Water, Wine and basic adult beverages.
