It was really nice to trek out to "the boonies" and meet you some more of you folks! The Fish Market in Alexandria is a GREAT place and not a bad walk (or just a 5-minute bus ride) from the King Street Metro so it's easy to get to. Looking forward to seeing more FT-ers on the 5th!
I am new to FlyerTalk but would like to join you all at one of the next DC Happy Hours, is Febuary still on for Crystal City?

You are very welcome to join us. I believe we've changed venues to Old Town at Fish Market on February 5. Check out Alysia's thread just above. Usually, Sam (he's on vacation right now) keeps the very first post on page 1 of the thread updated with the next date & location information. <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by Kings Point:

See you in February.
I'm on vacation, true, but I still try to check it out when I can! I'm in Koh Phangan right now & my travel buddy is in Krabi. I'm here because like an idiot, I left my passport in the safe at the bungalow we stayed at - next available flight is in 3 days. Gotta love the Thai beaches and the painful Thai Massages! On the bright side though, life is great and clothes are cheap! I'll update the first page!
Hope all are well!
Hope all are well!
Sam ... enjoy the sun. 
Handed out a few of your Amman Marriott leather tags at out SFO dinner on Friday.
Raced straight from that dinner onto a fully loaded 747 that went NOWHERE - weird story:

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my first FT function last week at Old Dominion. It was great to meet everyone. And many thanks to Alysia for the ride!<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by Kings Point:

Old Dominion is a great place, but not easy to find or get to.

Just a friendly little bump back to the top to remind people about the Happy Hour 2 weeks from today.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, depending on how you look at it), I probably will be missing this Happy Hour too. I was planning a little mileage run/mini-vacation for the weekend of the 19th-23rd, but a girl from my office who does the same job I do will be out that week in Trinidad on vacation, so I had to reprice it for another weekend and the only dates that both the airline & I have available is 2/5 to 2/9 - I've gotten the time off from work, and the reservation on hold, but now I've got to go to the airport to ticket it, so we'll see if they let me keep it!

If anyone can't make it but really wants to do a DC happy hour in Feb, come along to HKG the following week -- as it looks like our happy hour will continue on there with four DC FT happy hour regulars in attendance. <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by gleff:

I'll be there - according to NW, I had an illegal routing (although it priced out online fine) so they wouldn't let me use a TCV to pay for it and I'm broke because of my BKK trip. Oh well..

DC FT'ers doing an illegal routing on NW? Nah, do not believe a WORD of THAT. <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by bhatnasx:

(Hawaii IS on the usual routing between DCA and AMS isn't it?)

If it meets the fare basis restrictions and it prices out, why not sell it? They told me if I wanted to book it online with my credit card, go ahead - but I wanted to use the TCV. Oh well, I just booked a nicely priced run to SMF and a vacation to SAN - and I've got a little bump run in the works, just got to wait for the price to drop later in the year. The previous routing I had gave me about 6K more EQMs than my trips to SMF & SAN will at the same price, but that's okay - I'll make them up somehow - if there's a will, there's a way. <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by ozstamps:

I'll be at the Fish Market and the HK "do". If any of the DC gang going to HK needs a room at the HK Sheraton on 2/11, I booked one night I can't use. I booked on PL while still jet lagged from my Myanmar/ Thailand/ Cambodia trip and "forgot" that I don't land in HK on the same day I depart.
