It's not that they don't want to, it just would have bumped something else out of the itinerary. Mandy figured we'd want to have at least 3 days there, plus travel time, means everything else would get bumped.

I'm really annoyed because AMX had LAX-MEX-SCL-MEX-LAX in business class (all 787s) for $1900 R/T a while back, but one of the people wanted to do some ****ing wine tasting in Argentina so we were going to maybe fly into Buenos Aires instead of Santiago... a few weeks later we realized that Chile's wine is the same as Argentina's wine, more or less, so SCL it is. And the $1900 fares are now $3200.

I was pushing for a side excursion to Easter Island, since the only flights there leave from SCL, but lost out. I'm going with 5 women, so I'm just going to assume I'm going to lose out on every decision.
I'm asking El Jefe to bring back any/all pocket change from those countries. I use the coins for ball markers while playing golf.

The new Continental's are what i'm 99% sure i'll be putting on the new wheels.




...once i actually open the box and get the wheels out. lol
im noting I've had the 11s, 71s, and 08s. I'm going to get the Contis in the next month or so.

Dude! If I'd known that I could've brought you coins from probably a dozen countries last summer. I have this ridiculous collection and don't really know what to do with it. If you'll be at the next BBQ I'll hook you up.
