Plans underway.

[drcuriosity]

17/07: CHC -> AKL -> LAX
30/07: LAX -> DFW -> LEX
18/08: IND -> ORD -> SEA
25/08: SEA -> AKL -> CHC

Dates and exact itinerary are tentative at this point, but that's looking like five weeks of my life and a fair chunk of (budgeted for) savings. Should be fun :-)

All going well :-) Sadly no NorCal on this trip, though. I do intend to at least revisit the Bay Area one of these days...

[thatcash.livejournal.com]

Yes...come to NorCal. We're much cooler than the other end of the state. :)

*bounces around.....a lot....and tries to be patient*

I recognize Dallas, Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles... wow, that's a lot of traveling.

[wolfwitch.livejournal.com]

Almost. :) Christchurch to Auckland to LAX. Then to Dallas/Ft. Worth to Lexington (ME! *bounces*). Indianapolis to...Orlando maybe?...to Seattle. Then back to Auckland & Christchurch.

[elissa-carey.livejournal.com]

Ahh, that would explain the airport codes I didn't know. Should've guessed, though; boy's gotta leave Christchurch first to get anywhere else. :)

[drcuriosity]

ORD is O'Hare International in Chicago. I don't know why it gets that code, either :-)

[drcuriosity]

Although the internet does, of course:

Orlando is MCO

[drcuriosity]

Indeed. I figure the tricky/expensive bit is the trans-Pacific flight, so I may as well make the most of my time over there. I'm finally going to GenCon, amongst other things :-)

[leinahtane.livejournal.com]

maybe you and Wolfwitch and myself and Lissa can meet up for dinner one night..... maybe... i heard plans of hand cuffs, duct tape, a closet, and something else about a rubber ducky LOL

j/k of course

[drcuriosity]

I've got a pretty hard limit when it comes to handcuffs, but dinner sounds fine.

[i-e-d.livejournal.com]

Just hope none of those are booked on American Airlines

[drcuriosity]

Why, what's up with them?

Hrm. I'd hope such issues would be sorted out by July, but certainly something to keep an eye on. Thanks.

[i-e-d.livejournal.com]

Nahhh by July your into a whole new maintenance cycle.. oh.. wait.. lack of maintenance er... well cheers, hope to see you on this side of the pond!

[cheesecat.livejournal.com]

you're going in July? I'll be going through LA for a day in July too o_o we could meet up for coffee or something, lol.

[drcuriosity]

I'll be staying in Pasadena but hey, you never know :-)

[cheesecat.livejournal.com]

zoom,

Well, it was all airlines that fly those planes, American just has the most, so got the most noise... Alaska Air cancled 9 flights that day. I was flying home from Portland that day and was glad none of my flights were borked. Yet, I would rather my flight be cancled then my plane fall out of the sky in a big explosion...

Have a great time! Looking forward to hearing all about it :)


*hugs*

[kest]

there's not by any chance a c14 in there, is there?

[drcuriosity]

Sadly no. I'm probably already pushing the amount of time I'm spending away from work as it is, so visiting the east coast will have to wait for another year.

[amphigori.livejournal.com]

Whee! That's a pretty wild US itinerary. What's your actual destination.

Think of me when in my hometown of SEA. Or at least my hometown airport if you don't go into the city. :)

[drcuriosity]

Destinations are L.A. (well, staying in Pasadena), Lexington (well, staying in Versailles), Indianapolis (GenCon) and Seattle (probably staying near UW).

Will do :-)

[norectangulars.livejournal.com]

Staying with vandervecken?

No Minneapolis
