Thanks, but part 3 is a long ways away.

Thought I'd just sneak that sentence in. It was worth a try but I didn't really expect it to happen. Just try and speed it up a little PLEASE!

At least post the jellyfish video here soon. Pretty please?

I have 20. I shudder to think about editing them or even how to pick the best couple out.
Then there's video of kayaking, other snorkeling...

The bane of GoPros...

Use the process of elimination. Compare two similar videos, or two of the same subject, and ask yourself which one is less interesting and get rid of it. Do the same thing with parts of the same video. Which 30 second segment is less interesting than its neighbor? Throw it away.

It won't take long and you'll be left with maybe 10% of your original footage, but it'll be the best parts of it.

Preferably have someone who wasn't there help you with this. When you look at the video you smell the lake, you see the jellies, you feel the emotions you felt at that time. This other person has none of this connection - all they see is raw video. They'll be a much better judge of what to cut and what to keep.

i think the only way that dan got ajk to cooperate was by moving at least one thread out of the do board

Very nice part 2. For most of your Instagram friends who follow, they would already know that you did make it to Palau, so it's not such a surprise ending.

57.3k twitter followers, 0.6k Instagram followers.

...and some of us don't use that trash.

57.3k twitter followers, 0.6k Instagram followers.

First of all 57k on Twitter are there waiting for a glitch not for the TR'S

Secend you gotta work on getting more instgam followers by creating content, saying it nicely you disappointed in the last 2 trips!

If I wanted IG followers I'd promote it more.  Don't really care that much.

Once we're past that, the motivation of crossing the finish line will hopefully get us there faster.

To make your case load a bit easier, how about give it to someone to edit (SF hint hint)..

After some back and forth consisting of me walking her through the process we did get our PR-1 status, though for some reason AJK was listed as #1 despite the fact that he doesn’t have United status and I was listed as #2 with my 1K status. Go figure.

Well, since I know just a little bit about the UA internal system I will explain.

The correct code for PR-1 status is waitlisting the PNR using a SSR called PA (It goes down to PB/PC/PD). PA is used for GS members, now since you (and AJK) don't belong to be waitlisted as a PA, ONLY GS members belong in PA, the system does not prioritize the customer based on status. Since PA accommodates only one status, GS. While the matter that does factor is fare class and time of request, since you were both holding the same fare class the next factor was time of request. And I would guess that the agent requested AJKs upgrade first, that is why he was #1.  If you think its worth adding this to the comments on the MS, LMK
