Thanks everyone for a wonderful dinner, to meet stockman jr for the first time, to chat for mroe than 30 secs with Chrism, to welcome Sebastien and Ling back to the area and to catch up with Alley Cats members Vulcan, NJFlyer and KittyHawk.

Here's some of the highlights of the evening:

Sebastien's bag got torn but Continental went out of its way to give suggestions and offer help. I did NOT know airlines can offer replacement luggage.

We got worried about Mark bach for not showing. Turns out he sent an e-mail earlier (that no one got) that he was sick. Hope you feel better buddy, I had to drink your PEPSI.

Dinner was fabulous, the first time for Smessier, chrism and stockmanjr at Ruth's. Eva the server was quick and helpful. And we surprised Ling with an early birthday celebration (after all, every Flyertalker deserves his or her moment in the spotlight!)

Thanks to NJFLyer for getting us there fast, and Vulcan for getting us back home safely.

So let's do it again soon.

Thanks for coming.
