hmmmmmmm..... Rio Grande! I'd drive to Reston just to eat there! I love the place. Although, the one in Bethesda is my favorite. But if I say I'm coming, I won't show up :)

Mostly will depend on my schedule, so call me a maybe as usual. And, yes OZ, you have certainly been to more DC events than I have for sure ;)

Ha! But at least I exist.

C'mon tazi - no-one has ever seen you and kokonutz in the same room at the one time, to this day. And those that say they have, have been bribed with booze to fib about it. ;)

Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen you in the same room as El Boocho?????? :p

Tazi,

I've attended over a dozen local FT events and *still* have not met you...

I can come on Wednesday and talk about my 2 day, 5 roundtrip mileage run that I did on Friday & Saturday for 25K preferred miles & 36K total miles. (There's a 20K extra preferred miles promotion right now if you take 5 roundtrips.) My trip report from this adventure can be found at post #116 of this thread:

Koko and I were in the same room in NOLA! He was wearing big purple balls around his neck and there are pictures .... somewhere .... to prove it! :P

I do believe El Boocho came to the dinner I had at the 94th Aero
Squadron ... not sure... was awhile ago.

MA and I have yet to meet.


I am scheduled to work that Saturday. I will see if I can switch and work night shift instead.

I do exist and you have pictures yourself to prove it!!!

In 'The National Enquirer' perhaps? ;)

Never knew he was a contortionist? :D

Well, I've kept promising, and I always wind up on a trip. This time, I had a trip scheduled, and didn't sign up...and now that trip's cancelled! So... I have a late afternoon meeting in Crystal City, which should put me in good shape for stopping by Stellas. Gonna give it a try, at least!

I have to ask.... how do I find the flyertalk crew??

kokonutz Jan 11, 2005 8:42 am

Yo, Oz, these balls are just for you!!!!!!!! :p

Sadly I'll be on the wrong coast tomorrow and wrong continent on the 29th... :(

^ Congratulations, Gator Gal!

Everyone else, I'll see you all tomorrow night at Stella's - outdoor or indoor whatever works!

Gator Gal Jan 11, 2005 3:56 pm

Yes, I ran off and got married! :-)
 
Thanks for your well wishes! Yes, it's true, Nat and I eloped over the Christmas break! We had gone to Puerto Rico, where I have family, for a visit, and then took a side trip to Antigua that was a surprise for me (he kept the location a secret until we got to the AA counter at the airport). It was actually there, in Antigua, that he proposed and then a few days later we decided to just "go for it" and elope right there. It's been great! I do plan to have a church wedding and reception in the summer for family and close friends (likely out of the area) but I'm officially married now. :) This is working out well because the wedding planning is much less stressful now and while there are plenty of options/times for getting married, you only get one chance to elope! :D I may have a party before/after to celebrate with friends, so I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, I hope to see you at a happy hour. Tomorrow I can't make it since I'll be telecommuting in Centreville (my new home!) but I can plan for February. I must say that I am VERY impressed with the fact we've got three socials already organized for '05!

And soon I hope to post a trip report since we also took a day trip to St. Thomas. That was VERY cool because it was with my uncle's charter flight company out of Puerto Rico, so we were able to fly on an executive/corporate jet, just us, for free to St. Thomas for the day... not bad for an FTer who has ZERO status on her SkyMiles, Aadvantage, and MileagePlus programs, ha! Until I post my report, if anyone wants to see pictures from P.R., St. Thomas, or Antigua, let me know and I'll send you the link. Thanks and happy new year to everyone!
