A great party last night!! I am surprised I am up already...... Sitting in the lobby at FourPoints together with Ralf and Oz!

Over to Bernies!

Cheers,
Mads

Good morning everyone! I wanted to be the first to post from Bernies Computer in his beautiful place. Whoever missed...bad luck, Bernie, this is an absolut wonderful event, thank you very much again for takign on all the hussle of organizing it.

We even gotten news that Punki finally made it into germany and even Düsseldorf!

Punki

You weren´t alone. 17 family members of U.S. swimmers coming to BCN for world championships also got stuck at LHR, and were flown here Sunday a.m. I was fortunate to be flying from LGW on Saturday (not that I planned it that way--when AA ticketed my award travel on BA that´s how they set it up).

Just adding my voice to the chorus, I must compliment bernie on the fabulous job he did setting up the whole Dusseldorf weekend. Everybody seemed to have a very good time. Certainly I did!!! Thanks, bernie.

Down here in Hot and Humid Vienna, and missing the good (a.k.a crazy http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif ) times already.

Bernie, that was fantastic from start to finish. A master of planning and an extraordinarily gracious host to boot. Vielen Danke.

Thank you- Bernie. We had a wonderful time in your City and planned events. It was also nice to meet fellow FTs and put names/faces with handles. Regards

Not only did Bernie do a superb organising/hosting job as always ..... he chose the weather perfectly.

I am sitting now at a cyber cafe in DUS as I cancelled my other plans due to tight connections and will now go to Cologne for a couple days. And as I type it is dumping a pretty nasty looking HAILSTORM outside.

Such a change from all the lovely sunny days we all had since Friday! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

YEAH ... DUS JAZZ IN JUNE ... bring it on!!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

Well we did indeed have a wonderful (although way too short) time in DUS. Darned BA, stole my days. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif But, despite the detours, the unanimous vote is that Bernie Rocks!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I got to visit my sneakily-smuggled-in-from Seattle-via-San Francisco, daughter clematis and all the rest of Bernie's "just to die for" deck garden, and see my most beloved older brother, Rudi and his elegant child bride, the most lovely Gisela, and deliver his Big 60 birthday gift, see the most firm and gorgeous Smooth and her new beau, and see all my other friends, Jerry, Magic, Ozstamps, Counsellor, e-mailman, Beaubo, JerryAlaska,, and, yikes way too many friends to mention, or remember at my old age. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif

Bernie I just can't wait for next year. These parties are just way too wonderful.

Is Koko still alive?

Bernie - I have to add my thanks for a wonderfully planned weekend. It was great to see everyone!
