Salutations all.

I am on BA0992 out of LHR at 10:55. Whilst I am planning on sipping some Champagne in a relaxed fashion in the Flounge prior to departure, knowing myself like I do, I'll probably end up frantically running for the gate looking frazzled and harried. Obviously, I must enjoy the rush on some messed up, false jeopardy kind of level.

Booked at the Westin on Saturday night. But, as I like to treat my hotels the same way I treat my airport arrival, I am booking Thursday and Friday right now. Hilton has a Flash Sale going on at the minute ... just in case there are any kindred spirits who have yet to book ...

LOL definitely a kindred spirit in that I am still sitting at Warpigs in Copenhagen despite having a flight out in a couple hours. In my head I had a different plan, yet somehow I am *still* sitting here! All sorted on the hotel front though, thanks! :)

Good choice. Isn't it great to have such a phenomenal bar, 5 minutes from the airport train?

Had a nice pre-Do dinner with lili, bdnyc, and BOB W at
Marjellchen down near the Hampton. Thanks for coming
out to play. Good food cheap. Recommended if you want
a taste of East Prussian traditional fare.

Landed. Ended up with house #7 as the new ones come out tomorrow. This is also a test of the data sim and it seems to be working ^

Victory is mine! - I made it to the Flounge (as anticipated, only justmade it)... but flight is delayed so more Champagne for me.

Curious thing when you don't mind at all about a delay...

And the rain forecasted for Berlin bothers me not either.

Queuing to get into the Aspire Lounge at MAN T1. Not reallly worth it!

I have arrived in Berlin! Enroute to the Westin for inaugural stay of Do. Medical emergency on board which meant compromised service in CE (hope you're okay if you're reading this!), plus my salad was served on a plate cracked in half resulting in chewing on some broken crockery (gentleman in 2A cracked a tooth on his salad) but still nothing killing my good mood! Safe travels everyone!

I have arrived in Berlin, semi exhausted. I will probably skip the pre-dinner drinks, but I'll make it to Dinner. I have never met any of you, so I think I'll just look for a big group of tourists to join :)

Just look for Beck. Imagine what a big beardy Alaska dude looks like, and wearing shorts. :)

yes, I believe that should narrow it down a bit!

Tourists? We are frequent flyers! :p

Greetings from the A26 lounge in FRA after one of the more interesting FRA connection experience.

Hi all. If arriving at dinner and can't spot us, the booking is in the name of David.

Also be sure to make sure you are at the Hasir Ocakbasi Restaurant as there are two places with the same name next door to each other.
