I am home! What a fun run...
Thanks to Spiff for hosting our all night party the second night at the Conrad. I certainly slept well on the plane after sleeping only 3 hours in two days.
It was great hanging out with all of you and I hope we get to do it again sometime!

I have made it home 5 pm in Dallas.
I'm with you JSD when we all going back?
I had a great time even though I missed the pool party at the SheartonIt was a pleasure to see everyone on this trip,and look forward to seeing everyone again.
Thank you Jen for your planning and to Guy Betsy for a wonderful night out at a local Sin restaurant.I'm dying for more of the black pepper crab.
Take care all.

Am resting up at the DFW Admirals Club after a wonderful, much needed shower. Thank you everyone for an outstanding weekend. I hope we can all do it again very soon! (well maybe fairly soon...)

Finally made it back to Florida after weather in ORD held us on the ground for a little over an hour.
After 32 hours in transit, I need a beer, a shower and sleep, not necessarily in that order!!

Hmmm, in all the confusion of the weekend, I seem to have misplaced the USB cable for my digicam. A new one is being Fedexed to my hotel here in Florida, but it may be a day or too until I can get the rest of the pics up.

Wow, seems like so much fun!
I missed out on it... I met a couple of folks at the SQ lounge on Saturday in NRT, but I was on my way back Stateside...

Wow... back and not jetlagged!
What a great time... I will upload some photos tonight (I gave a few folks the password to my photo site, so they've been getting uploaded there through the weekend, but I haven't put any of my own up yet)... like JSD, I'm down one USB cable at the moment and utterly slammed at work.

Made it to NYC this morning. Still really disoriented after only being home in SFO for 8 hours.
Thanks to Spiff and Kenjih for hosting myself, 1012609 and JSD for our last night of all night drinking at the Conrad.
Special thanks to our FT buddy who got me upgraded on the way home (you know who you are ) I managed to use the SWU all the way to NYC! I owe you one. May you always have good airplane karma - which apparently continued to work by the way we got Capnbob upgraded via the fantastic crew on SIN-NRT leg
Thanks to Techgirl and Guy Betsy for all the planning and excellent diner.
**** now back to work

* Elusive NRT-SIN upg cleared (techgirl)
* With techgirl's help a SWU is produced and a nudge later, zoegksf is upstairs SIN-NRT and has a good chance clearing the rest of his journey.
* Its the same flight attendants from before! zoegksf and I use Jedi mind tricks and Capnbob is magically transported upstairs and does iluv2nap Bonus! [Note2self: remember deadly charming lines and facial expression]
* We were having good service (not even the bonus) and offered to write a letter. "Our" FA offers to come back later with a card. Next thing you know, the purser introduces himself and thanks us, we offer again to write, stationery is written on, signed.
* Later, cards come back from the FAs, then one from the purser and one from the captain. ****.

Other amusing memories:
* There were the facials - at one point our FA touched zoe's nose to check out how smoooth and sexxy it was
* the talking about exotic places to fly to
* The ladies reading up and listening to tunes! I've never seen BingoSF so intent! <grin>
