I'm at SEA-TAC in the 1K room (Hi Trish!) on my way home. United Express flight from Vancouver was 100% full, and left a ton of luggage behind (making me greatful I was not one of the passengers continuing on to Atlanta, Jacksonville, or Chicago, as they were continuing on minus their luggage). Alas, no bump here.

Wanted to thank Tropical Flyer (Sylvia) for all the hard work putting this together. I had a great time! Dinner last night was the highlight, but the whole weekend was fun.

Was nice meeting some new Flyer Talk friends that I have not had the occasion to meet before (Captain Mike, Village Idiot, Ken Hammer, Shadow, TravelWeary, Cocoanut and EPS immediately come to mind, and others who I can't recall as I quickly type), and equally as nice catching up with those of you I have met at the NYC or SF get togethers recently.

Special thanks to the Saturday morning chauffers, Shadow and Ken Hammer, for safely driving some of us on a wonderful tour around the Vancouver area.

Looking forward to the San Diego get together in July.

1:45 update: just was bumped off the 1:30 SFO flight, and have another $200 voucher Fly out in another hour. Thankyou, UA.

2:55 update: just bumped off the 2:34 flight, too.....another $200 voucher. Now I am flying out at 3:55.

Might have to do more get togethers in the Northwest so I can get bumped some more
