on a side note, I must apologize to the receiver of my secret santa gift, I did not realize how exactly secret santa worked as I had never participated in one before. I wasn't too secret!

Today my patience was rewarded with an .......AAdvantage One-Way Upgrade Certificate!! Obviously, my Secret Santa is quite aware of my favorite mode of travel 
However, having no plans for an international journey in the next two months, I will be really looking for some great fares before February 29, 2004!!

Well, nothing for me. Not even a lump of coal. As the post office is closed now I guess I'll have to wait until next week

I'm not sure whether my present is from Secret Santa, Papa Noel, or Los Reyes Magos, but in Spain, they clearly run a just-in-time operation. My present arrived today at 4pm.
Being traditional, I've decided to wait until Christmas morning to discover exactly what's inside. But already I'm excited.
Spanish customs decided to play along, carefully printing over the "description of contents" box on the customs declaration.
Many thanks, Santa, for making this a fun Christmas!

My Secret Santa came today in the form of a nice Fed Ex envelope... and an absolutely wonderful travel doc folder with the Cat in the Hat on it. Plus some travel maps for the San Francisco transit system.
I won't say who you are Secret Santa but many many thanks. My old travel folder was on its last legs being packed with many UA certificates and SPG certs and drink coupons and other stuff. I will travel with your gift with pride.
Hope to meet you sometime... and my Secret Santa recipient. If you are in the NYC are drop me a line.
Very thoughtful. Meowy Holidays to all and to all an upgrade in your future.

Thank you Secret Santa! Great information, including a carefully drawn diagram AND a gift card to Best Buy so I can get started on this project! Thank you so much!
And thanks to the organizers - this was a lot of fun.

Not seeking thanks or anything, but I am hoping my recepient will acknowledge receipt of their gift since Fed Ex should have had it there on Tuesday. (I'm hoping he/she is off traveling and maybe missed the Fed Ex delivery....)
