Right, while "Moe Green" rings mysteriously similar to "MrM" as well...doesn't it?

Better get back on topic before we get richard's wrath coming down on us both like a ton of bricks.

I have promised both my 13 year old son as well as mistress (mine) BA business class together with grandstand seats as
soon as they become available. This will be a completely different kind of GP weekend, more Montreal than Silverstone.

This promise will cost me it seems, business round-trip with BA for me and the kid, plus a week at Hyatt on Lexington,
is preliminary at 10200 USD for that period next year. Guess the mistress will stay home this time.

Wonder what will be the most convenient way to get to the track from downtown?

Never been more serious in my life.

517 Lexington is not far from Grand central, why I guess there are some public transportation from there to Port Imperial?

I don't understand - why would you fly business class? Unless you have points, it's not worth it at all!

Oh but it is, with BA anyway - full flat bed and all. Besides, the round-trip from Stockholm is just 2800 USD anyway.

I'm guessing that's abut $2000 over coach. 10 hr flight? So $200/hr +/- ?

Not that I blame you. But that does seem a bit much just to not be treated like livestock.

Of course, you'll still get the cavity search on arrival.

Don't forget the blessing of not having to endure the typical riffraff at the airport, Pup.
