Howdy from my home in VT where it is a cool -22°C/-7°F!

Thanks to Mike/mjm for organising this event. For an event with so many attendees, I would have to say that this was different from previous FT Dos as most people actually got to meet and talk. I enjoyed meeting a lot of new people and catching up with others. Despite the difficulty of having to balance my time between some family members I brought with me and FlyerTalkers, it was an excellent trip overall.

airoli: this makes 9 countries for us. Always a pleasure to see you. Oh yeah, despite HCD's embarrassing loss to Fribourg, they've already clinched a quarterfinal berth.
SD1K, Jan, and seanthepilot: no proper goodbyes???-- I'm glad that we actually had time to chat in the Conrad Executive Floor Lounge. Until next time-- where? MUC?
mauld: It was a pleasure meeting you for the first time. What a treat to have you and violist on SQ 22 as well!
violist: Nice to meet up with you again. Thanks for toughing it out with me in that crazy place they call EWR. Welcome back to the USA!
GK and Sean:Thanks for the educating me on the origins of "Maidenhead." Now I'll be thinking of you everytime I set foot in that city. Good to see you both again.
Foady and catwhite60156:To you crazy kids from ORD, thanks for the laughs. Sorry I couldn't party with yall as family members were present (I had to behave).
skye1: Great chatting with you and bringing up good memories of STL. I'll invite myself to visit you there sometime.
sailaway75: Heureux de faire votre connaissance. Please call me when you do end up in YUL or fly out of BTV. Don't you miss the cold weather? A bientôt.
Traveliter: I apologise for not getting a chance to visit with you but many thanks for the wonderful pin!
Kiwi Flyer: Thanks for the cute kiwis!

I hope to see yall next year!
