Does that mean mjm cleared into C on UA? Good job!

At The RCC NRT
 

Thank you mjm for helping organize this DO. I had a great time. Fantastic restauraant choice for dinner Saturday night. I,m glad you broke even for dinner Saturday night aafter collecting from everyone. I,m glad you broke even after paying the bill - over a thousand SIN dollars! In return I notice the upgrade Gods were good to you - UA found a seat for you SIN-NRT in C! I'll post again when I'm not strugglling with this computer. :)

mjm DId you get that? Gods. Is that a promotion or what? Could not have happened to a more deserving guy! Still in SIN.

If y'all can pull yourselves away from the beer machine for long enough...pop into chat and say hi!

1 fantastic weekend
 

The list to thank is too long. ^ sailaway75, miles4all, mjm ^ in particular, but it was wonderful to see EVERYONE!

Everyone's left NRT and i'm just waiting for my flight to BKK. 4 hour delay has pushed it to 10:30pm dept.

looking forward to the next one.

good luck to all, fly safely
smiles,

Sean

In HKG now
 

From my pricelined hotel in Kowloon (which, unlike the Conrad here and in SIN, offers free wired and wireless internet in every room...), I'd like to add my thanks to mjm for making this event happen - I had a great time and enjoyed meeting old and new friends!

Apologies to all the people I could not properly say goodbye to, most notably SanDiego1k and jan_az. We had a blast at the Night Safari and only got back at 11.30pm or so... :o

Safe travels and see you next time!

Perhaps the staff at the Sheraton can help you out on that one. :p

mjm did indeed clear the C waitlist.

Whew, posting from the south-bound CalTrain heading into work. kluau88 and I arrived on NRT-SFO without incident, both complaining about a short flight. We had a fantastic view of Mt. Fuji at sunset while taking off, and a nice bay tour prior to landing.

First off, thanks to mjm for organizing what has been an outstanding weekend full of great food, company, and fun. The crabs were great (probably some photos out there, if you know what I mean) and the food court was fantastic (ala Fishball soup). I look forward to the 2006 event, even if I find myself there again sooner.

Special Thanks go to residents (one ex-resident) miles4all, sailaway75, and mafbar for their wonderful hospitality. I think that special attention should be called out for our outstanding tour guide, miles4all who led a fun, informative trek through the various areas downtown. Gaz, thanks for the insider tour of Chinatown and the wet fish markets, that was a welcomed treat after the long trip across the ocean.

The Night Safari was another unexpected treat! Partners in crime skye1, airoli, and I enjoyed the off-tram excursions, visiting the exotic animals and pondering the less-popular uses of game hides. The furball ejecting Golden Cat, randy Hyenas, and gigantic bats ruled! Sorry to have lost the rest of the group during our explorations.

I'm going to have to wrap this up, as I'm approaching lovely suburban Mountain View. San Jose just doesn't hold a candle to Singapore, so I probably should get off the train.

I'll edit this later to add more brief fun memories, assuming I don't get slaughtered at work. Obviously, no bumps for us NRT-SFO :)

Geez did you get back on a northbound train and decide you want to go back :) I don't know but I think there might have been a lurker who was watching this thread :) This individual was on the party flight on friday (UA 895 HKG-SIN), party flight today (UA 838 SIN-NRT), and then I saw him at baggage claim at SFO getting off UA 852 NRT-SFO.

Chicago contingent of bseller, cawhite60156 and wwbgd arrived safely in Chicago.

I was the only FTer on the main deck in 25C and I had the pleasure of experiencing the best FAs I ever had on United from NRT-ORD on UA 882 today.

Thanks for the great turnout in Singapore, I am glad everyone liked my suggestion of No Signboard, it will be tough to top that in 2006 since that has been my seafood restaurant since 1997 :)

Thanks mjm for organizing this and nice to see everyone

A fantastic weekend!
 

It was great to see meet many FTers I hadn’t already encountered somewhere in the world, including a lot who were at their 1st Do and (of course) seeing those I’ve met before and always enjoy getting to spend more time with! ^ Thanks to everyone for a fantastic weekend, and a special round of thanks going out to:

mjm for coordinating -- it was so much fun that many of us have been talking about next year’s SIN Do (consider this my RSVP!),
miles4all for the fantastic walking tour and sharing your knowledge of Singapore with us,
Gaz for the hospitality, door prizes at Saturday’s dinner and walking us through the markets at Chinatown and the sampling that went with it,
mafbar for the gifts and also sharing your local knowledge,
kiwiflyer for the kiwi gifts on Saturday,
traveliter for the pins

MikeinSin -- Very sorry to hear about the death in the family.

Despite a slight change in the “party flight” HKG-SIN, our trip got off to a great start by getting to invade the cockpit of our 747 at HKG for some group photos (including Freddie Jr) at the pilots’ suggestion, and then today following a fun “party flight” SIN-NRT and spending some quality time in the RCC & the SK lounge at NRT, we had a great flight back to ORD including captain’s cards, a special wave from the cockpit just before leaving NRT and “spotting ourselves” in Hemispheres (UA flyers should understand this from the UA forum). The cabana boy never did materialize (although I did get an interesting comment from the desk clerk :o )….but I have my pool guys instead! :p

Photos to be uploaded in the next couple days after a lot of editing ;)

^ :D ^ :D ^

For those who missed it this morning...one of the pax who flew with us on Friday evening HKG-SIN (and hear us chatting about our friends who didn't make the connection, etc and the party that he was now "missing out on") ended up with us in the C mini-cabin on this morning's SIN-NRT flight. He had a pretty good idea before we'd even taken off from SIN what he missed out on Friday!
