Only when that pair is gone will I go for the Air France set. I figure that will be some time in January. Meanwhile, if any of you happen go be in a hotel that has these terrycloth slippers, do not hesitate to mail them out to me! I never got ANY slippers at the Ai Mori! (OK, I guess I should have asked for some. @:-) ) And, one day the bathrobe disappeared from my room (the housekeeping staff must have removed it) and I had to ask for one. Then the following day, I found TWO bathrobes in my room. Zero bathrobes, one bathrobe, two bathrobes.... but NEVER any slippers!!! :D :p :cool: |

I wish I had known of your fetish about disposable slippers a little earlier. We left both sets on our AF flight and also at the Ai Mori. I did manage to grab the jammies from AF and was planning to give them to PBG. But I ended up wearing them as my baggage was delayed. At any rate, I'll start collecting them for you. |

The important thing is that we get a chance to get together again, have a few laughs and to talk about the FT'ers who choose not to come...;). |

As to your "don't even go there" remark, you would be surprised about how many women tell me that about their calves. |
Dovster when you finally break out the AF slippers, you will like them the best of all. I usually walk right out of the terry cloth hotel slippers, but the AF ones have some stretch in them, and actually stay on your feet.
Unfortunately, one pair of my AF p.j.'s were left in the drawer of my hotel room at the Ai Mori, with some other clothing. They have been shipped to me by Marco, and I am looking forward to their return. I can report that they are very comfortable to wear while trimming the Christmas tree! |

With these comments to further feed into his fantasies about the women of FlyerTalk — and Cholula (!) — Dovster now has enough material to supply his dreams every night for the next six months... |

For the sake of total accuracy here, let me also add that Punki said he actually reminded her of a weird guy she once dated....:D. |

Could you please find it, link it and quote it in this thread for posterity and some harmless good-natured fun? If not, it is not important. Thank you, Cholula. |
