+1! Absolutely! And Randy Class/Tommy Class does rock 
On the light rail about to get to SEA. I think 10% of the IAH return group is sitting next to me on the rail. A great end to a great event
. Now if I could just get some of the local java to wake me up, I would be in much better shape.

A party I hope to be a part of again!
Randy Class/Tommy Class rocks!

Cabs run $40 or so from the hotel, and will not get you there any faster. I learned the hard way last night after missing the last train to the airport. The trains start running around 6:30 on Saturdays. Too many interesting people to talk to = extra expense. Or maybe alcohol is the main reason.
I'm on board my flight to ORD, and I already miss the passengers and the crew of CO1905. See y'all next year or earlier.

Just want to pass along another quick thanks to the organizers for a lot of fun. The Boeing tour was a definite highlight. And it was great to see old friends and meet new ones.
It will probably take me a few days to sort through photos and write a blog entry since I never did get around to taking a nap after my red-eye back to IAD last night / this morning.

Huge thanks to the organizers and behind the scenes folks who put so much of their time and effort into making SMD2 an enormous success. So much fun and can't wait to do it again.
Now on the party flight back to Houston. The crew.has made sure there are plenty of pillows available {{grin}}.

Well, I'm not part of the Do but Saw a big sign in front of the Club Lounge this morning at the Seattle Sheraton Club Lounge welcoming Flyer Talkers!
Guess I just missed seeing a good group of people

Thanks to everyone for a great time, especially tommy777, oliver2002, sbm12, and xyzzy for all that goes into planning such an event.
For those of you who were on the charter flight, you'll remember that LukeSkywaiter and xyzzy officially kicked off the 2010 Holiday Donation Drive for Continental Airlines WeCare Employee Fund.

Are there any details from the CO presentation on Thursday?
At previous CO DO's we got live summaries - calling sbm12
Sounds like a great event (my work superceded attendance) but there is next year!

A huge thanks to our fearless organizers, tommy777, oliver2002, sbm12, and xyzzy and everyone who helped put this DO together! SMD2 totally rocked!
I just did the domestic portion and wow, what a trip! The Boeing tour was spectacular, it was totally over the top to go On the Dream Lifter And be one of the first to go on the 787 And go on the factory floor at Boeing! Wow, totally mind blowing. I would have guessed I'd have a better chance of getting on Air Force 1 than the Dream Lifter. Hint for next year Tommy?
Met some great people and had a great time, Thanks!!! ^^^
