bits and bobs

You know, the only really surprising thing about the die_carter_die comm is that none of the more rabid Sam-hating Elizabeth-fen of my LJ acquaintance are on it.

The weather has been extremely windy, but also rather warm lately. I think we've been up in the late teens - certainly, it's not quite a chilly as it was a couple of weeks ago.

Still not getting sleep though.

For the Americans who fly around their country: what's the cheapest airline, or when's the cheapest time to get tickets? Do travel companies/airlines have periodic sales for flights between specific cities when the prices are reduced? What travel companies/airlines do you recommend?

For instance, in Australia, I can get a return flight to Hobart for around $375USD. On a sale, I can get a return flight to Hobart for $100USD.

Vive la difference!

I don't know what it is about this area that makes dawn and dusk so spectacular. This morning, in the north, a cloudbank had swept up over the sky, but was feathered along the upper edge to catch the light of the sun rising behind it with gilded brightness.

And me without a camera. (And late for work.)

Damn dog was barking at something in the backyard at 3am for an hour. Getting up this morning was sooooo hard...

checking meetup points

twilightdweller? Is it still okay if I come to stay between the 1st and 5th October?

gwemegil? Is it okay for me to visit you between the 5th and 10th October? What airport in Houston would be best to fly into? (There seem to be two.)

slm76? snoggingpicard? Is Philadelphia okay by you two ladies around the 28th-29th October, or was I thinking of Pittsburgh? I think I can fly in for the day and out again (may be a touch ambitious) - alternatively, I can get to a city for the entire weekend before returning to Boston, MA and doing some more wandering around during the week.

venom69, hon? I can't remember if I let you know, but I'm in on the hotel room at SG-12.

...I should update my travel icons. Daniel's been sitting in Singapore orchids way too long.
