Yes, thanks to the organizers and all of the presenters.
It seems ironic that my flight home from this seminar is delayed by 2+ hours because the people at UX apparently don't know how to schedule their pilots. Lucky thing I drove to DCA instead of taking the Metro!

Well I got to enjoy an Italian Beef at Portillo's tonight along with some peppers and cheese fries. Now I have my feet propped up at the Hilton.

I too would like to extend my thanks to Ingy and toomanybooks for organizing the whole thing, SkiAdcock for the charity work, and to and fro for lugging all the apples.
No sooner said than done: Besides apples, I am sure that to and fro can add a few cases of English muffins too next year.

I definitely had a great time and am ever grateful to the organizers. Thrilled I got to have candid conversations with them and so many others. Very happy I made it this year. Though if I attend next year I don't do the "show on the last flight Friday night" and "leave on the first flight at 5am Monday" routine like I'm doing now! (It's not my fault US doesn't have a late ORD-PHX flight on Sunday night!)

soooo many great folks I met and so many that I never got to see/meet. (The good & bad of such a large group)
Talk was begun on a Chicago area dinner (my specialty
) for AA flyers to futher discuss items started in the AA breakout. Sounds good to me, I'll get some dates together & start a poll thread in the Community Buzz forum.

Were you the moderater of the AA breakout? (one of them?) I enjoyed your talks, but joined late, so would like to rehash the things you guys were talking about in the very beginning.

I believe that Sweet Willie led the Hilton discussion.
