2A finally checking in here. It was great to finally meet JapesUK and enjoy the Chelsea Lounge with him. He is a wonderful host! And a well traveled one. I enjoyed hearing of his many adventures. Ah... the stories we could have told had flyertalk been around a few years earlier...

P.S. "The legend that is 2A"... well, I'm a bit underwhelming in person. To wit, I arrived in a wheelchair sporting a Groucho Marx glasses, nose and mustache disguise. (I thought I saw someone in the terminal who I owed money to...)

PPS: I actually am working on a trip report, but as usual it's slow going. I'm almost 3000 words in and still working on the preamble. If only I could write like JapesUK. The man has a real talent!! Fortunately, I did score the upgrade on AA between ORD and ABQ, so I'll have plenty of space to fire up my ancient laptop (it has a pull cord start, like a lawnmower) and hopefully start in on the meat of the report.
