I have an hour layover in the MPLS airport on Friday March 19th. My flight arrives at 7:45PM. I leave at 9:03PM.

I'm not sure if this is really enough time to meet up with anyone or not.
But anyway, if you want to meet face to face, then please PM me and I'll send the flight information.

I'd sure love to actually meet some of ya'll.

PS: I'll be spending the entire week in Dublin, OH if anyone down there is reading this. PM me and perhaps we can get together.

I'll see what I can do about getting off work. I think it would be fun to see you but there is a problem at the MPLS air port, they don't let us past the gate unless we have a ticket for a flight. At least that is the way it looked when I went to Tucson.

You're right, you can't get past the front ticket area (at least when I was out there last). Dang, I'll be out of town that weekend, that would have been fun. :(

So, can I come out to a "common" area? I don't fly often so am not familure with such things?

I think you could come out to a common area, but then you'll have to go through the security riggamaroll again. If you had another hour, I'd throw a bike on the back of a trailer, and we could take a ride along the Mississippi. I might be having my surprise birthday party on the 19th. If not, it's a possibility. I'll have to check with my wife.

Yea, I was hoping for a 2 or 3 hour layover in the Cities. But only one hour does not leave much time. I really appriciate the thought of the ride. Coleen and I walked along the river when we spent August of 1999 out there. Was really cool.

I take off today at 245 Mtn time today.

I just missed your flight. I was able to bail out of work early and rode my ass off to the air port, to page you to meet at the Starbucks by the baggage carosel(?). I got there at like 8:10, and hassled with locking the bike up, and went in, and it was 8:30. I didn't think it would have been worth the time to page you... I wish I'd known before 6pm that I was going to get off, so I could've made a better plan. Hope you enjoyed the lay over...
