Thanks to the 10 or so DC folks who ventured out on a Saturday, when all sensible folks should have been shopping and doing 'weekend' things.

Great to see new and familiar faces among y'all. Nice meeting another big UA flyer Yogi for the first time - and thanks for the offer to collect us on way thru - but no laptop, so only just read it now.

Tazi appeared cleverly disguised as geo1005 ... but that didn't fool us. No-one has seen THEM in the same room together, that's for sure.

Suzi1K kindly met us at airport 9pm Friday for a drink at Sheraton, and she hoped to make it along, but was on an Asia flight even earlier than ours.

Special thanks to Pranu for swinging by and picking us up, and to MileageAddict for firing up that John Deere to get us back to hotel for a quick shower and freshen-up (love that Starwood late check-out guarantee!) and for getting us to airport in perfect time.

Shame we needed to leave when we did, and the 2½ hours went pretty fast. ^
