On a separate note I was looking for award travel from IAD to EZE but culdn't find anything
If something opens up I'll be more than happy to joing you guys with my wife (her birthday is on October 10th) for some meat and malbec !!!!

I am sorry that I won't be able to make this Do. I'm starting a new job next week. It may take some time to train my new employer to expect regular jaunts across the globe just to earn miles and say Hi to friends 
amiras - you mentioned IAD-EZE so I assume you're looking at UA awards. I've noticed availability sometimes opens up 2 weeks prior - especially XF. Keep calling...

Any chance of award seats on the 6th, or does that not work with your schedules?

My plans that week are kind of up in the air, but I suspect I'll need to go somewhere in Asia that week. Too bad - Wilson, Elvis, haven't seen either of you in awhile. Actually, the last time I remember Elvis was in NYC at Dan's get together..which year is a little fuzzy right now.

Too bad you can't come down to join us. Did you ever manage to visit BA ? Anyways, I'm all excited cause I'm going to party and chill for 7 days in BA, and afterwards -- Rio. ^ ^
Is anyone planning to see the Argentina vs. Peru match on the 9th ?
later
