Excellent, it is 1 degree F in Des Plaines now, I'm looking forward to warm.

Also, good news, my SFO-NRT upgrade came through!

this trip is shaping up nicely.

I also spoke w/a friend of a friend who I turned onto Flyertalk. He said he will join the group going out for midnight eats on Saturday night. The more the merrier.

Doggone it, I can't believe I was so close, yet so far from getting this to work.

But I'm determined to grab some miles anyway, so while my wife is out and about, I'm going to do a quick MIA-IAH-NRT-SIN and back on CO/NW. If anyone's going to be around at the SIN airport in the wee hours of the 22nd (arriving 12:45am, leaving 6:10am on NW19/20) keep an eye out for me. I'll have my Flyertalk baggage tags with me on my backpack.

Is it okay if this NON-SIN-runner crashes the party at the NRT RCC on Friday? I sure hope they have the beer machines operational in the new RCC!!

Thanks to a last minute deal, I'm on UA837 SFO-NRT tomorrow (16 Jan), upgraded to 16G. Anyone else on my flight? Look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new folks on Friday!

Hmmm... very tempting!! But this time, I'm actually staying in Tokyo for a few days and then back to SFO. Amazingly, I just ticketed this today and got SFO-NRT-SFO for around $700 and scored the upgrades, to boot! To continue on to SIN would have cost several times as much.

But maybe if the winds are just right and carry the smell of delectable chili crabs from the south, with the courage of several NRT RCC Amazing Beer Machine(tm) beers in my head, I'll be persuaded to sneak aboard 881 as cargo in my pursuit of SIN.

See y'all soon!

Sounds good... I'll either be in the RCC or the Silver Kris lounge if its open. If we miss each other there, I'll see you upstairs.

My CO flight gets into NRT around 3:10pm, and my NW to SIN leaves at 6:10, so after dropping my bags off at whatever NW WBC lounge is closest to my departure flight-- I'll come by the RCC to meet up with all
