I will be away from Flyertalk over the next few days... but wanted to take this opportunity to wish all my fellow Flyertalkers a safe and joyous New Years celebration... and hopefully a wonderful start to 2005.

We have a wonderful community here... and I am glad to be a part of it.

As you are remembering your friends and experiences from the past year, make a resolution to help out others from around the world in 2005.

One way would be to click on the announcement at the top of this page and donate to the efforts in Asia. I have throroughly enjoyed my business and personal trips to China, Japan, Hong Kong and India... and have made many friends there.

Enough preaching.... I do hope everyone had a wonderful 2004 and look forward to a tremendous 2005.

HO HO HO!

Your Santa Man,

William
