I think it's more when the Japanese have a 3 day holiday in January. Usually it's the same weekend, but can change. Apparently mjm's boss didn't like the idea of 2 - 3 day weekends in advance as was the case in 2005 :D
I just did some googling on Japan holidays and apparently the second Monday of January is a holiday for the "Coming of Age." So looking at a 2006 calendar it looks like January 6-8, 2006! http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2280.html |
Bonus points to the gentleman from the City (i.e. San Francisco for those of you from elsewhere). :)
The Monday of the three day weekend in Japan at the beginning of January '06 falls on the 9th. Hmmm...... Not so convenient for the U.S. contingent. Have to ponder that one. If I put in a request early enough, I may just be able to manage the MLK weekend again. It would seem to suit most attendees best. I shall get back to you on this in a few weeks. Probably after the 330 day limit date but still well in advance of the 6 schedule and aircraft changes to take place on the various JFK/ORD/SFO/LAX - NRT/HKG/SIN routes. Upgrades should be eminently possible. My criteria for dates will be the ease of travel for the majority (i.e. a three day weekend in the U.S. if possible) and the ease of getting upgrades from the most reasonable economy fares to business. Stay tuned... Mike

The earlier the date can be confirmed the better for me - both in arranging leave and flights. Flights are packed in January.

My turn ....
Thanks mjm for setting the weekend up, Miles4All for coordinating lunch on Saturday, Sweet Willie for the hawker run Friday night (what a great turnout for 2 am), izzik for picking a good massage place (at least I got 1 in) ... and all my travel companions from ord-hkg-sin and sin-nrt (I kind of feel bad for that guy that got on the sin-nrt flight and not only saw the same group of people from Friday, but was sitting with us in the mini-cabin, at least he took it well :D ) ... and a special thanks to SailAway75, Kiwi Flyer and Faisl for the various goodies.
As always, great seeing friends and meeting new ones (and hopefully adding a few new names to Shanghai next month - hope to see you guys there). Note to self, don't end an international trip on a UAX flight, and definitely NOT into IAD and Terminal G!! |
THe most important question: Did you miss me?? :)

I looked for you in ROW 1 and 2 on every flight hoping you would be there, but all I saw was someone else :( |
Funny you should ask, Marty - I just said I wished you had been with us on our misconnect in HKG. Then we'd have the power of Marty in getting satisfaction from Ms. Soucy Bergin!

You're the one that decided that SYD was better place to be than SIN for the weekend, so I think the real question is ... did you miss us? :p
