It's sounded pretty brutal on how he passed. Apparently, he was snorkeling around the waters when he passed. Sucks, he had left a huge legacy spanning a popular anime series and its spinoffs and an influential trading card game.

And just like that, with a stroke of a pen...I am travelin' again!
But, It's different this time.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
Arghhhhh, planning for a trip sucks so badly. I'm thinking about going to LAX instead of John Wayne Airport since the flights look cheaper. Now I have to factor in..... airport parking......... as part of the equation.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
All right, another update since no one has anything they want to say.
Things are starting to look pretty promising for my trip to Chicago on August 12th. The flight/hotel package looks to be $730.00 now. I think I may go with it. Don't think it can be any cheaper with a month to go.

Make a plan. Execute the plan.
You said it if got below $800, you'd do it. It has now. Twice.anguyen92 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 2:27 pm All right, another update since no one has anything they want to say.

Book it and go.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
I'm so close to pulling the trigger. I actually could save $70.00 if I go to LAX, instead, and leave my car there at an airport hotel lot for a few nights, but there's that unpredictability of leaving a car overnight in the LA area that leaves me a little hesitant.

In case anyone was curious, I did this today! Greg is good for recommendations.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
I didn't do that when I was in San Francisco. A bit too rich for my budget. Not all of us can make the hard-earned doctor money like Greg does.

Re: The key is having generous relatives!
... I currently make no money
To be fair, I didn't pay for anything as my uncle did drive us around and my mom paid for the meal, but neither of them are doctors.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
Gosh, I'm the worst at this. The package late last night got down to $690.00 and I thought, maybe if I can wait one more day, it can get below $650.00 at this rate. Nope, now it shot itself to $820.00. Well, back to the waiting game I go.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
The bad timing also continues for me. I've lost like $4.50 playing online poker in the last two days. Could have lost like $10.00, but certain spots bailed me out.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
I haven't bought anything on Ticketmaster much this year, except for like two shows when Ticketmaster was doing their yearly $25.00 seat deals for the crappy seats in outdoor venues and the likes.
It's been mainly being patient and going bargain binning with Groupon, Stubhub, and Tickpick where I've been getting tickets for shows this year.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
All right, at least, I've locked up the flight to Chicago at $575.00. Expedia was nice enough to offer this Price Match Promise thing where if I pay $14.00 more and the same flight I'm in had its price lower, in the upcoming days, than when I originally purchase it, they will send the difference back to my card. Seems like an ok shot to take at $14.00.
I'm not sweating the hotel rooms much. There's a hotel that I got my eye on and when its price goes under $200.00 for the two nights, I'm taking it.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
Man, I was staying in Marin County, in San Rafael. I didn’t get any recommendations from Greg
Kev, fly out of Long Beach. Much better.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
I would consider flying out of Long Beach, but there aren't any flights that would get me to Chicago before 4 PM. I'll stick with flying out of John Wayne Airport. It's a better route to take rather than leave my car at a hotel parking lot near LAX for three nights.

Re: As if I didn't sleep well before...
At the end of the day, I throw my shirt on the floor of my closet and then bring it to the gym the next day to wear out of the gym - that way I don't have to wear my sweat soaked shirt I just wore while working out, but don't have to dirty a clean shirt. Apparently though, sometime during my month away from home, a bunch of red ants set up shop in my closet and climbed in my shirt. I put it on after my workout today and instantly felt the bites all over my body. Pulled the shirt off and started slapping my body (fortunately the only other guy in the locker room was heavily invested in his phone so nobody saw me acting like a madman). Sure enough, had 10+ ants crawling all over my torso and up towards my head, managed to get them before it got too bad, but I definitely have at least 8 welts on my chest and armpits from where they got me.
