A most excellent Do! Many thanks to Mr. *A Flyer for his top-notch work. I look forward to the next meeting of old and new friends!

Thank to everyone who came to BerlinDo and helped to make it such a success. It was my pleasure to host you in my current home city.

Safe travels to all those heading home. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Thank you very very much for an excellent DO! Pleased to have seen some old friends and met some new ones, and ate and drank a lot of excellent food and beer! Well done to you *A Flyer!

Thanks *A Flyer it was a wonderful time. I ran into flyertalkers I have not seen in years, flyertalkers that I have heard about for a while, some very nice flyertalkers I had never seen before, and there seemed to be a whole Chicago gang there.
So I saw the 2nd US presidential debate in Berlin and upon returning home the doctor fixed me up.
Thanks again. I certainly hope to return another day.

After an epic day in PRG, I'm waiting in lounge 52 in AMS for KL611. 1A if anyone is heading on that one today.

The fog was crazy yesterday. Train was 45 minutes late too...

I watched "The Bourne Supremacy" on flight home yesterday--they flew private jet into Tempelhof! ^ :)

I just checked in to 52 myself after being offline all day, but I'm going the opposite direction (long story). Before I saw your time stamp, I thought you might be shadowing me.

I'd like to add my thanks to *A Flyer for an excellent Do! Having helped organise a few FT Dos I know what a lot of work it must have been and am in awe of *A Flyer doing this single-handed. I was especially impressed by him herding cats outside restaurants and at meeting places. ^

A fantastic program of walking tours and meals with extra-curricular activities like a visit to a craft beer shop and a walk along Unter den Linden for the light shows! I'm already looking forward to the 2nd Berlin Do. :)

Many thanks, David! This was an excellent, thought-provoking DO. We were glad to see old friends and get to know some new ones.

Great job, David!

Things went off without a hitch thanks to your planning. I learned a lot, thanks to the city tour. And who among us wouldn't want to explore an abandoned airport terminal! I left Berlin wanting to return sooner rather than later, which in my book is always the best recommendation for a place.

Thanks again.

I heard this piece on NPR this morning about escapes through the tunnles. I might have to pick up the book!

Conan went to Tempelhof and met with some of the refugees living there. The video reminded me of our visit. https://youtu.be/j39oTM2DLGs

Hope all is well!

Since the first Berlin do was such a huge success (hats off to everybody involved in organising it) I was hoping for a second do this year.
I suppose there is nothing in the pipeline.

Thanks again for a great event!
