Your favorite layovers

[jetflier]

OK I know its been on here before, but where is your favorite layover?

One of my favorites was in Manhattan at the old Rosevelt Hotel. A quick train ride to Little Italy, and all the sightseeing you could want.

...Then there's Flint,... (sound of crickets chirping)

Nice place...makes me think I'm in the movie "Catch Me If You Can".

 

[PHXFLYR]

San Diego,especially during the summer.

St. Martin-- Happy Hour at Sunset Beach Bar, 747s landing just feet over your head, and topless women... ummm, what more could a pilot want???

I dunno, the topless women I saw there were a little on the side... Great overnight, though, along with AUA.

Amsterdam ain't a bad overnight...

Barcelona, Prague, Munich, Rio, and Lubbock.

PS--Islip (Ronkonkoma) and Harlingen were close.....

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

I second San Diego... gotta add San Jose del Cabo to the list too!

 

[Jetdriver69]

I agree, Amsterdam rocks! London, Paris and Frankfurt also are pretty fun, but expensive. Grand Cayman and Nassau are also pretty good. On the other hand, Tripoli, Libya, Damman, Saudi Arabia and anywhere in west Africa blow goats!

Nawlins. Corner of Bourbon and Canal. Good times...

 

[DrewBlows]

MIA - Sherry Fontenac. The dollar beer machine was pretty neat.

Any place with a craps table. Those little slices of free-America are particularly profitable layovers.

Though nostalgically, Laredo was always a choice place in it's own special way. imp:

 

[LearLove]

the KSWF Hojo, packed with Cisco truck drivers eating the entire cont. breakfast and hookers (meth/cracked out ones) roaming the halls.

has anyone stayed there (SWF Hojo) lately (or is everyone over at the "endless stairs" Ramada)? Is that giant Russian guy still running the place? How about the half filled swimming pool with green/algae water and goose crap?

The Italian restaurant in the parking lot was pretty good, except it was only open 4 and 7pm.

For extra fun try crossing the highway (of Death) in front of the Ramada, then descending the grass hill on the way to the diner across the road.

Actually speaking of "Highways of Death" I think that award goes to the highway outside the Holiday Inn at Islip Long Island.

FNT is my favorite overnight next to DTW! Seriously.

Lubbock and Harlingen, because I know I won't have to listen to GL scream in the next room while some man is getting some.

Heh, I believe I've stayed at that Ramada. If it's the one I'm thinking of, the hotel bar was PACKED with 100% Puerto Ricans having some form of bizarre ethnic party last time I was there.

Jealous???? Hey, I know you also like MAF and AMA, because those towns are FANTASTIC. Enjoy them, often. I won't.

SIT in the summer is great, even in the winter it ain't all that bad P-Bar and all!

Jealous of your man love??? I don't think so. The cowboys in Maf and Ama too LONGGGGG for ya?

Just because your Dad and brothers asked me out doesn't mean I go that way.......not that there is anything wrong with that.... I guess they had a long dry spell out there "on the range." They said the cows and donkeys missed you a lot. I knew you liked that "Intra Texas" stuff....


Bye Bye--General Lee
