Things I learned:
Although I was warned that last years GAYLA participants were like Star Trek conference attendees without the costumes, the GAYLA II crowd were actually quite fun and interesting.

Our host, GoodKarmaGuy, gets the Olafman 5 Diamond award for excellence. This award has only been given out 4 times before.

The Jeffs are sweet and fun.

Not all Flyertalkers are modest in a hot tub at 4am.

We have a great president and I'm not talking W.

Flyertalkers in general LIKE to talk.

InnExile is a pit (maybe I just never found the concierge lounge!)

Three nights of GAYLA can wipe you out ESPECIALLY if you are in Palm Springs for another conference!

Most flyertalkers that came to the GAYLA travel for leisure and not business.

People actually do mileage runs in Y.

Your third martini does taste better than the second.

Flyertalkers are friendly.

Looking forward to III.
