Just got back and want to reiterate all the thanks by others!
Regrets:
So many people I wanted to meet -so little time (and I can't member 40 or so new face/names) - the great pics help, though
No white pepper crabs at our table - yes I know I could have ordered some but I was sooooo full from what was already ordered
My timing at the Sheraton didn't match with when I could have met more people - try to plan better next time.
Thanks:
Esp to Mike - wow this has certainly grown to a huge event - I remember the first DO when we could all sit around (a very large) table.
To all the generous FT who provided such unexpected gifts
For all the great pics that will help me match names to faces
Misc:
I will try to post on the Asia board in the next day or two info about some hotels from the low to high - people know about the Sheraton - but is anyone interested in a hotel for US $23?
Can you believe that I actually met someone at the Sheraton Pool on Monday who thought it was strange to fly so far just for a dinner
