No backstory to my name, I'm just some dude who happened upon an interesting travel forum.
Something I'm embarrassed to admit, but prior to actually coming to the site I'd heard (ie. read) about something called flyertalk. I may have first seen it mentioned on redflagdeals.com and thought perhaps FT was another site for deal seekers. Since I'd go on RFD for things like sneak previews to Boxing Day flyers, I made some sort of connection to retail store flyers, so FT must be a forum to talk about weekly sales advertised in flyers. It wasn't until some time later when reading about "travel hacking" on Lifehacker that FT was mentioned as a place to learn about the points game, so I decided to actually check it out.

Mine is relatively simple. When I moved back to YVR from ZRH in 2007, I chose it. . .
Since then - I have again returned to ZRH - but the old name stays.
When I was in the "Valley" my CA license plate on my car said YVR SJC . . . . Still have it in a box somewhere . . so - it's a bit of a theme.

That's not too embarrassing actually.
You didn't explain the "3210" part...

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

As a former de Havilland Canada employee way back I also considered one of Twin Otter or Beaver.... Ummmm, I think I made the right choice....
