I want to extend my thanks to all organizers about the event. Me and my bro had a spectacular weekend, and let me say this. This has been the best hotel/breakfast I had in a hotel/event that we have ever been to. Period.

And guys, admit it, who volunteered the AA from BCN - JFK the next day? I was denied cause someone took it like 10 mins before me. : ) The offer sounded sweet though - stay at Marriott BCN + food and $600 voucher.

Sweet indeed! All I got was (can't find the euro key)50 and the Crowne Plaza AMS.

AMS gate at 22:10m transfer robot at 22:20. Machine ate my BP+etcs, went to human interface (desk), got 3 metre long BP. Went to arrivals desk (special room for biz/elite, v nice touch) got more etcs. Then straight to the city ...

23:10 - Cafe A La Amsterdammer

23:20 - Finally figured ouy jow to ytpr flyertalk into internet. Guess I should get back to apt hotl and check in

PS: Sometimes when I'm pished pretends to be me; dunno if it's embarassment, wishful thinking or the inability to spell propperlee.

Big thanks to the DO organizers for yet another exciting, fun-filled weekend in Spain!
I must say.. this one had all the elements for a successful event.

Dunno where the "earth" was or who had the "wind" but there certainly was plenty of "fire-water!"

My thanks as well to alanw, Patxi, and dragonfirebcn for making my first boo doo an awesome one. So very jealous that all that nature and duty-free shopping is only a couple of hours away for you guys!

Alan, Patxi and Alfredo

All I can say is BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!!!! What everyone else has said is true. You made this the most enjoyable DOO I have ever been to. The venues, the company and the food & drink (mostly wine but not all) were superb!!


There is no really good way to express my thanks. Just let me know how the pecaon pies turn out

Bob

I have to echo everyone's accolades. Alanw, Patxi, and Dragonfirebcn outdid themselves. Caldea was especially a highlight!
Wonderful to see so many of you.
IMHO: The quote of the do award goes to Comicwoman.

It was a fun and great weekend indeed. Thanks to alanw, dragonfirebcn and Patxi for all the time spent and efforts to put all those events together. Too much to eat-awesome food- and drink! Even on AA coach, the 'return' party flight had an open bar. Time to give my liver a break

Great seeing old faces and meeting new ones. Hasta la proxima!!!

Thanks everyone for coming! I agree it was a great time with some great people. And of course my plan worked - I got to spend more quality time with people I don't see enough.

late again!

Wow. All I can say is wow. But that's been said before.
And I also have to agree with justforfun; I blame you guys for my current depression on having to return home after such a wonderful time.
Thank you alanw, Patxi, and Fanny Drag. Not sure how anybody can top this one.
