1) Keep alcohol consumption under 10 drinks per night to make the meetups on time in the AM.

2) Don't enjoy the weather to the extent that you could visualize yourself living there. This contributes to #'s 3 & 4 unconsciously and leads to further oversights.

3) If on a different home time zone, adjust your watch and computer upon arrival. This will ensure you will not show up for your flight 2 hours after it's departure, regardless if it's the same day your flight was scheduled or not.

4) Don't get too wrapped up in hanging out and forget which day you leave. They do NOT offer credits for flights scheduled the previous day. This will save you $600 dollars in airfare, 8 hours of pissed off traveling, and a bottle of Jack after your done kicking and screaming.

5)
BE SURE to PRE!!!! schedule transportation to the airport to avoid waiting on a cab for 45 minutes. This will help you appear slightly less of a D bag when you show up hours late for your flight that was on a different day. Additionally, this will allow you to choose your company and ensure you're driver does not persuade you that the Mayans were legendary and should be worshipped, the planets are coming out of alignment which causes summer and winter, and last but not least, today doesn't matter because the earth is ending in 2012. :urock2:

6) Purchase a megaphone during your stay, and shout "MICHAEL"!!!! from the rooftops when in a 500' radius of Firesky.

Once you got to this one:

3) If on a different home time zone, adjust your watch and computer upon arrival. This will ensure you will not show up for your flight 2 hours after it's departure, regardless if it's the same day your flight was scheduled or not.

I was laughing uncontrollably until the end.

Lucky I wasn't drinking milk.

Woulda gone through ma nose! :D

PS It was really great sitting around the sand fire and getting to know you better. I could have talked w/you for hours about stuff. You were my biggest surprise of the meet up.

OMG!!! LMAO. Rep+ because you had to put in extra effort and take action with circumstances that you had.

And at least you can say you came away from the experience by learning something, right?

I totally enjoyed meeting you and hope that you plan (better, perhaps) to attend again next year.

Are you trying to say that your flight was actually yesterday?

If so, bravo... that's a B&P first :great:

You would be correct sir. Right around the time we were having lunch. **I think!** lol

Yes, next year the Grand Canyon should be in the cards... maybe some red rock mtn biking too.

And try not to dance too much...

:jackson::hammertime:

Oh no, it's on now. Bill's getting lessons straight away, and I'm not losing the bet!


Well if its any consolation, numbers 3 and 5 don't matter once number 4 happens...

Haha, nah I'm home now after visiting Nashville for a bit. ;)

I would like to add tip #7. If Bill ever asks you to flip for dinner, it's always plus EV, because it means you will get a free dinner. Thanks Bill!!!

Ah yes! Never been much of a gambler, but BOY can I play some CC Roulette!

Now if only neither Steve nor Bill remembers the dancing bet for next year @ PCL, I'll be in business. (*sets aside my grand for that loss prematurely* :smxE:)
