Thanks for the welcome, folks! Der katzen say 'danke', as well.

No worries for the Cuban loving guys (gals, too) on FT; you'll be at the top of the list for first pick from the walk-in humidor!

As for the trip next month, I likely won't have time to do the RTW thing, since it's for work (thankfully the company pays for biz class tix). So now I'm thinking about signing up for American's 'Challenge' for Platinum since I have a trip to BRU in June and LHR in July (addition to the long haul next month). Who knows, perhaps they'll take pity on my poor soul and seat me in 1st!

Cheers,
