Well, according to Delta's site, I'd need 25,000 miles, plus $70 to get from an airport in a city 2 hours from me to get to Montreal. I'd prefer to fly out of the airport here in town, but it's tiny, so it'll cost more.

And I only joined Delta's membership when I met my husband I believe. It might have been earlier, but either way, I've only had about 4-5 flights and gotten that much. Just wish I had a couple thousand more so I could fly to Canada and back for free laughing.gif

OOOOOO...I should look. Trav's had two flights already, will have two more next weekend, and then two to Montreal. Sounds like they add up quick! I wonder...I may be flyin home on the free! Yay! :D *runs off to look when she should be working...* :D

How about credit cards that give you reward points? My American Express has 110,000 points on it now. I have been using it for 5 years and the card is great just on its own. I have been planning to use those points on a honeymoon or a trip to Australia soon.

Visual Basic and Java? I haven't used either of them for years but surely they can't be too hard. What do you have to do?

Well, I just got my American credit card last August, so... And the only reward program is 1% cash back. Have almost $25 with that reward program, which definitely won't pay for a flight no0pb.giflaughing.gif

For VB, I have two assignments on two dimensional arrays and I'm just like: wacko.gif Then Java is about class interfaces. I think I'm just gonna have my husband help me as he went to this exact school for the exact same program :D

laughing.gif I need a bit more coding experience than that! :P

And wow, $54?!?!?!?! *extremely jealous*

LOL...you need no coding experience at all unless it's accounting :P:lol:

And don't be jealous, that's a one way ticket - you need return, it would probably be very in your favor that way :D

Leaving for Mexico to visit my wife. Will be gone April 4th through April 8th.

There's a good chance my telephone call for my interview date will come while I'm away.

Will this be a problem? Should I give my phone to someone to take the call?

Um, you don't get a telephone call about your interview... You get an EMAIL, which you can still check while you're on vacation (if you have the time whistling.gif)

wow.. two pages while I was googling how to get a letter of manufacture from Triumph to import hubby's bike.

Either this mythical EPA sticker is well hidden, or it's blown off at some point.I finally found an email to have Triumph issue the stupid thing.

We're driving for our POE but flying to Montreal. More that likely we'll fly round trip from Calgary. Flying in and out of there is outrageous enough with their stupid fees.

My one way flight from Knoxville to Grand Forks, ND so I can pick up our truck will be dirt cheap! So there's a yay! (Watch the truck have four flat tires and a dead battery when I get there...)

The sticker must have a +2 cloak of invisibility. I give it major props for using it at the "best" time!

LOL...don't tempt fate, just believe "the truck will be fine, the truck will be fine..." :P

Uh oh...do we need some special documentation to import a bike? Max's is like a billion year old used bike that he paid $40 for, but he is seriously attached to it...I just assumed that was covered under the "used household goods" that he is allowed to bring in for free.
