Thanks for the quick reply Efrem! Though I would have preferred better news on the VIP2 front. :-) I was hoping that they'd send a welcome kit & accessories for this year, then another when the time comes to post them out in 2001.
Hope you make it yourself before the end of the year. Making it by August is pretty heavy going, especially as every one of my 100K miles will have been in economy. Hence the heightened appreciation for those VIP2's.
