Hi!

My trip was actually pretty uneventful. I flew from my home airport into LGA to start the run. The positioning flight was delayed so after exiting the plane, I made a mad dash to the next gate. I walked up to hear the announcement that the plane would start boarding as soon as the flight crew arrived. It was the same flight crew from my positioning flight Ha. So I got to see them all again.

And yes, I met rizrizriz who is an incredibly nice guy. While waiting at the gate, I logged into FT and read his post. I then realized that someone I'd seen on the flight in was also boarding the flight out. Coincidently enough, it was him.

Including doing some airport shopping and visiting the Dnata lounge for a shower and breakfast, it was all pretty 'normal'. I remembered the agent at the transit desk from my last MR (last year). She was a bit surprised as she said there are more MR's at the end of the year. Like before she asked where I 'stayed' while in the airport, recommended against getting a hotel room and suggested places in the airport to sleep.

So, all is well. I'm sticking with my plan to do these earlier in the year rather than later. I'm looking forward to the next one which is now *almost* entirely upgraded with GUC's. Last night I received another notification so I'm only waiting for the SIN to NRT leg to clear. All others are now clear!
