Well, it has almost been 8 years to the day, a week shy I believe, and here is number 1,000. Since I am in PHX for the Freddie's it seems a fitting time and place to post number 1K.

Many thanks to the countless tips and posts that have made my travels easier and more enjoyable. Many thanks for the fond memories from the handful of events I have attended, including my most recent fly-in to FRA where I met someone who has become a dear friend to me in two short months.

I still think back to the day that I subscribed to the print version of Inside Flyer for bonus points (I think it was Diner's Club) and stumbled upon FT. I proudly display my FT luggage tags and enjoy all of the contributions that people make here. I'm not the seasoned traveller that many of you are, but I always try to contribute what I can when I am able.

Here's to the next 8 years or 1,000 posts, whichever occurs first!^
