Note to self - no posting after a long day setting up a trade show.

N.B. BRT 1 was held on a nasty/wet Saturday in March.

May regret it as I leave for a romp through Asia six...days later

That's one of the reasons i'm skipping CLT Do. Not worth the price although for you, the bset prices are usually 2-3 months out now so there is hope.

I have a Kayak fare alert for CLT DO dates too. Fares are about the same as NYC. Both skiplagable hubs, so that may help.

Glad to have one of my favorite travel bloggers on board. ^

If you've never read his blog, go take a look. If you back out of BRT, I'll understand.

Got flights booked finally as well. Gave up on burning Avios from Detroit as there was no availability at all for many days now. So I bought an AA ticket for $220 and proceeded to burn wife's Barkelelycard Arrival points (and then canceled it so we can do it again). Plan to spend Friday morning at the LGA Centurion club. Staying with relatives in Brooklyn Friday and Saturday nights. Then burning wife's last remaining Fairmont Visa night at the Plaza on Fifth Avenue, flying out of LGA Monday afternoon.

Looking forward to the festivities all day Saturday. If there is anything we need to do please advise.

Go on a fast for the 24 hours before the tour.

It's with much sadness to report that I will not be attending this year's BRT.

I have to be in London that Friday for a meeting and will not be able to return to NYC in time on Saturday for the festivities.

It's a bummer that my attendance streak will be broken.

Someone have fun in 1A for me.

Good advice.

1A will remain empty in your honor. Who will I kibbitz with?
If anyone doesn't know what that means, Google it.
