Acquired refundable ticket from Moscow to LA for March 11 for PRG last Sunday because price had dropped and airline said there was only one left at that price. Refundable ticket less than adding picking a seat and a 2nd checked bag to economy ticket would be; budget-conscious, man.

 

Didn't say anything to PRG about it until visa was issued; we started planning things for when she'd get here, and our case was saying 'non-immigrant application received' for 12 days; correlation = causation, man.

 

Her flight gets into LAX a little before 3 PM. Really hoping for surprising efficiency at LAX; want to get to Orange County before peak LA rush hour if at all possible (completely avoiding LA rush hour on a weekday is impossible). Then can stop to look at ocean, and to acquire real American food (and kill time because the highway across northern San Diego to get to my place is the only one in all of California where people don't think the speed limit is just a suggestion, and also is really backed up in late afternoon/early evening for no apparent reason).

Holy #### did I read this email right? 

My BJs mastercard, 8% cash back on dining and gas? 4% everything else?? 

 

 Like a limited time offer or something? The best I'm getting on other cards is 1.5% for everything, 5% in stores.

3-1 to 4-15. 

 

My Discover (Black card) has always been the best with rewards and ####

And the Citi/ Costco Visa is pretty good. 

The worst is the Chase Disney card, chase Sapphire is pretty good tho. 

 

You know, I talk about it so much, I wonder if discover has a themed card that's black in color lol. 

I'll get one.....

My current one is a horses themed card.

1- You numb nut.....I have 2 little sissy girls remember? Duh!  Besides that, my in laws will probably be here, and they've never been on a nice trip, no less a luxury trip. So, I'm going to treat them to a stay at the Grand Floridian. With a theme park view room. 

 

2- Now for 2020, remember my friend the boat mechanic?  The one with the giant indoor pool here? They have a beautiful house in Florence Italy, they keep inviting me over there, so next year, it's Italy. They want us to go because they're older now. They want us to go to their florida house too.....#### I shoulda been a boat mechanic.....

 

3- You know, JR showed up at work with this Star Wars thing yesterday. I'll find the link, it's ####### awesome! Except, it doesn't fly too good lol. But when you open the box, it starts playing music and quotes from the movies.....
