No, there are plenty of people who like old boilers...

Looking forward to Part IV...

Subscribing! I'm sorry, eightblack. But I'm also ROFLMAO. Extremely descriptive, well-written TR!

It's been too long since your last report. Classic eightblack. Thanks for the laughs this morning.

Are we going to see the beautifully bound Tiffany's catalogue with red pen markings in it again?

Great title! I assure you however that none of us were thinking that when we saw your name appended to yet another trip report! Enjoy SJU!

PayPal opened, credit card out, now I just need the email address. I only request a minimum of 10 segments.

I am worried that eightblack is stuck somewhere over the mid-Atlantic . . .

Maybe he's stuck in the black hole known as O'Scare. Soon some enterprising person will start the eightblack spotting thread, where people can claim to have seen him buying some popcorn, while someone else will claim he was actually seen in the Admiral's Club in G begging for admittance.

Bugger. A thousand apologies to you all. Been the first week in probably 3 years where I havent logged into FT. To be honest, I threw my toys out of the sandpit after my UA MR went south - and then work got in the way in a big time.

Never fear. I am stuck at DFW now waiting to catch a plane to FRA. On AA. And while I may have sorted out my 1K requal for 2013, I am hell and gone from renewing my EXP status with AA, so I am trying to figure this out while I eat a very average Mexican meal opposite D30 at DFW...

I just remembered that spicy food and plane travel dont really mix so am trying to dilute what I just ingested with Gin and Tonic, because I read somewhere that this was a good remedy.

While the TR didnt really eventuate, I did have a cracker of a conversation with an AA person on that fateful trip - as well as some big boss cocky chief cahuna from a company who installs wifi on airplanes...

I promise to update everyone as soon as I can.

Can't wait to read the next episode.

Whisky - 1 (or many times 1+) for the road, always works for me!
