It's my aeroplane

I had a good weekend. I cleaned (not so fun), read books, did jigsaw puzzles, fixed the radio fence for the dogs, and bought plane tickets for Peru. :) Continental was offering Houston to Lima for $625, which is pretty darn good. The only problem is that the flight back is a red-eye. It leaves Lima at 11:55PM and returns to Houston at 11AM the next day. Oh, well. For a savings of almost $200 on the going rate, I'm OK with it. Whoohoo, go Peru! We got our itineraries from the guide company on Friday, so it's really starting to seem like it's coming soon.

I also spent some frequent flyer miles this weekend on a ticket to Denver on July 10th. This one isn't for hiking - I'm going to drive from there to Casper for Jessica's baby shower. I got first class both ways for 45,000 miles plus fees. First class was actually cheaper than coach, ?? Anyway, I'm really excited because I was bummed before that I wasn't going to see her while she was still pregnant. Now I can. :)

Time Warner came out to check the cable modem again. This guy says that the company has been putting out bum "refurbished" (read: recycled, with no repair) modems on the service call trucks for a while. He suggested going to the local payment center and getting a new one from them. If this turns out to be the problem, you can bet the complaints department is getting a call. I swear, if our area could get DSL I so would have jumped ship by now.
