It has been a good 20 years on this version of the board. I too have enjoyed it greatly and made some very good friends along the way. Who knew way back then when we started filling in Randy's pencil sketch with color what we would be able to create over the years? Knowledge, deals, Do's, and even Omni posts getting their own forum. And then it actually becoming worth a few million. It has been a good trip so far. It certainly has made being a travel geek a lot easier. :-)
You old farts! I'm still about 2 months shy of 19 years, nonetheless still worthy of having met not only the OP, but you on more than one occasion, too.
