Oh no Michael!!!! I am so sorry to hear this... but your health must come first. Will be sending positive thoughts your way!

Oh boy - last minute glitch means I will have to back out of the SIN-DO for the third time.
Still have not made it to Singapore, and I had the most beautiful reservations BOS-LAX-NRT-SIN with upgrades even.

My pain may be your gain: if any fellow-travelers can use my last expiring AA SWU before Jan 31 then please PM me.

hoping for next year.... pfbloom

Sorry you won't be able to make it.

If you still have the SWU, there's a thread over in the AA forum for giving away SWU's here:
SWU giveaway (strictly freely given - no quid pro quo)

I'm in the air now on UA1, arriving Thursday morning. My tentative plan during the day was to do the tourist thing and wander around Gardens by the Bay since I didn't make it there last year.

Certainly envious while slaving away at work. Have a great time, I owe you a beverage as payback from ATL.

Calling a slight audible -- I'm going to head out to the Chinese Garden/Japanese Garden and circle back to GbtB later this afternoon.

If any of the other Thursday arrivals want to get together for dinner/drinks later, PM me or just post a suggestion in the thread.

We were thinking of heading the the Belly View Cafe over by the airport, known for its views of aircraft landing. We were going to head over after we hike around that area. If anybody would be interested in meeting up, send me a PM. Thinking about eating around 3 or 4 for a late lunch.
