Sorry this has been a bit delayed but here goes...

10/22
My flight was supposed to leave at 7PM in the hopes that I could hook up with fellow FlyerTalkers for after dinner drinks but that was not to be. The flight ended up being delayed about 1/2 hour due to waiting for the pilot who was still in transit. Flight was pretty smooth and with the wind at our backs, we came in about 15 mins. late. I didn't expect the EXTREMELY long taxi line at LGA so by the time I got to my hotel (which was very nice & they had checked me in prior to my arrival since I was so late), the after dinner drinks were winding down so we made plans to meet up the next day. The Sheraton Russell was very nice although off the beaten path from everyone else. I was given a nice suite which was almost as big as Punki's condo! Sometimes Platinum status helps (but no welcome amenity )

10/23:
A wonderful day of sightseeing with Catman, Burkey, Punki & Andrea filled with sights, shopping & deli sandwiches! A truly fun-filled day already described by everyone else. Dinner was at the fabulous restaurant chosen by Mr. Cat with great food, great friends (including one very masculine-looking Cyndy! ) and my very first Cosomopolitan (yum!!). The walk over to the Plaza was just the ticket to settle dinner & prepare for a very nice nightcap. A terrific evening all around!

10/24:
Got to LGA earlier than I planned & attempted to get on the 12PM flight rather than the 1PM but no such luck since it was completely booked. So, I went to the RCC again, thinking just how worth it the membership was to be away from the crowds at the gate! Flight was jam packed but uneventful & even managed to get in 15 mins. early.

Thanks again especially to Catman for setting up this get-together & doing such a wonderful job hosting. Mr. Cat, you are more than ready for your duties at the PiP! Thanks to everyone else for a great weekend of old & new friends!
