    You might not want to take your 360. You PROBABLY won't be able to hook it up. Most hotels have locks on the back of their tv's disabling bad citizens like yourself hooking up nerd machines
    Concrete evidence/videos please

      Yeah, I got owned on a trip to FLA a loong time ago... The entire rear of the tv was security blocked... the vents in the back were blocked too, so I wonder how the thing doesn't overheat....

      However, on a trip to Philly, the hotel tv had all the inputs accessible, but I could not change input mode with the hotel's remote.

      In that case, for anyone who travels a lot and likes to bring a console, I suggest bringing a Universal TV remote that can automatically program itself to the tv. Better safe than sorry

        I'd suggest taking a xanex if you have a prescription to ease your nerves before the flight takes off. If not, then alcohol should do the trick. My friend had a cocktail of pills he took (seroquel and valium) when he went on his plane trip to Israel. He fell asleep like 10 minutes after takeoff and woke up right when the flight landed (it was a 12 hour flight). I thought that was pretty badass.

          Got back in Friday night around 12:00 am after my flight was delayed 3 times from chicago but other than that, it wasn't too bad. I'll still stick to driving tho if my job needs to send me somewhere else tho lol.

          It was a nice trip out to Indy....but they ain't got jack **** out there....for me at least LOL.

          Recap:
          But yea...got to the airport around 11:15 am(plane scheduled to leave at 12:52 pm)and as I arrived there, I ran into the dude, Slim Charles, from "The Wire" aka Big G for those that are from around the DC area. Holla'd at him for a min before I made my way to the Security Checkpoint. It was about a 20 min wait to get thru. I only had one carry on bag with me so I went thru pretty quick. Sat at my gate for a few mins then boarded my plane to go to Detroit to change planes before I go to Indianapolis.

          I get to Detroit-Ft. Wayne Airport(I think thats the name of it...can't remember off the top of my head) and as soon as I get off my plane to walk down to catch my other plane, I see none other than Rasheed Wallace. Recognized him by looking to see which way I had to go to get to my gate and just spotted a white spot on the back of some tall dude's head lol.

          After that, I boarded my plane for Indianapolis, which was about an hour and 15 min flight there. Got to Indy about around 5:30 pm. Had to wait awhile for the guy from the Hotel to pick me up from the airport and got to the Hotel around 7:30. Hotel was real nice(Hyatt Place Keystone for those that want to know).Food was pretty crappy but I wasn't complaining because my company had gave us free breakfast and lunch.

          Pretty much, most of my time there was spent in the Hotel since there was nothing to do out there lol. The mall(Keystone Fashion Mall) by the hotel where I was staying at, is probably the worst mall I have been in and I've been to ALOT of malls in my life lol. So the next day, I caught the bus to Downtown Indianapolis to check out the other mall you guys told me about(Circle Centre Mall)and it was pretty decent and in a good area with lot of restaurants around and right around the corner from the RCA Dome and Conseco Field House. Also went and seen the new Colts Stadium and that thing is HUGE(n/h)Before seeing that, FedEx Field was the biggest stadium I had been to but that ain't got nothin on the new Colts stadium.

          I left Friday afternoon but unfortunately I had to fly to Cincinnati to catch a connecting flight back home. The plane ride was about 20 mins from Indy to Cincy but it felt more like 20 days. The plane's A/C was not working and on top of that, you had people on there smelling like they had rolled around in roadkill. The plane's size wasn't that big either considering the fact that I'm 6'5 and could barely fit on the plane due to the low ceiling and limited space I had in my seat.

          Got to Cincinnati around 3:30 pm and was gonna be there for awhile since plane wasn't supposed to leave until 7:50 pm so I decided to get something to eat. After that, I caught the bus to get to the other concorde since that's where my gate was at and right as I'm coming off the escalator, I see T.J Houshmandzadeh coming running around the corner. I said wassup to him and he said "Wassup Lil Homie". Didn't say too much to him because he was running toward his gate trying to make his flight.(He was flying to L.A as I saw because his gate was right next to mine )

          As it gets closer to my departing time, about an hour and a half before, I see on one of the monitors that my plane had be delayed and was now scheduled to leave at 8:15 pm. About 30 mins later, my plane gets delayed again to 8:45 pm due to weather since my plane was coming in from Chicago. 20 mins after THAT my plane gets delayed to now 9:45 pm because of the weather in Chicago. 9:45 comes along and my plane FINALLY leaves and around 11:35 pm, I finally make it back home and land at BWI.

          The things that'll probably make me NOT want to ride a plane again is the constant Ears popping thing(tried chewing some Gum Before and After we took off and that ain't work as my ears STILL kept popping)dealing with the long security lines, the limited amount of space(Airplanes aint for people over 6'2 lol)

            Airplanes for tall people are the most uncomfortable things ever. I hate the 5-3 lady in front of you that decides she needs to "stretch out" and jams her seat in your knees.

            F planes man...I hate them. For baseball we flew almost every damn weekend...it was terrible and I always dreaded it. Add to the fact we had to wear a suit every trip and you've got a terrible combo.
