Put me as a maybe for side trip, but only have the Saturday available.

Best way to get visas from USA
 

I suggest you get your visa(s) through Zierer Visa service. It is well worth the extra you pay and they will do it almost overnight (for huge fee) if you need it quickly.

J: The additional factor has made travel planning interesting.
If she doesn't use the certs, we'll talk.

Count us interested.

Is someone posting good fares? When does UA start letting us use our 2006 upgrades?

I am in.....arriving on 12 January pm, staying at Ritz Carlton Millennia....returning home late late pm on the 16th.....

Anyone else at the RC?

Yes, I will be staying there. What room category and rate did you book ?

I will pm you...

If last year can be used as a planning "tool".....then you should get 4 of them deposited as early as October-ish, which would then be "usable"...

Best wishes, Dave

Is it wrong to take the longest flight in the world, perhaps circumnavigating the globe (if the winds a right) for just two days?

Having just returned from a two-day stopover in Singapore, which I found as thoroughly charming as I did on my first visit six months ago, longing for more flights on SQ (even though I'm not a KrisFlyer but a DL SkyMiles member), and wanting to get to know more FT SQ hands (met some very nice folks at Bali Do but didn't have enough time to get to know 'em), that's exactly what I'm considering. Only have to take one day off work, the Friday. Connect from ATL to EWR on Thursday evening, then take SQ 21, which would put me in SIN on Saturday morning. Have that full day, all day Sunday, and a liesurely Monday morning before SQ 22 takes me back to the States on MLK Day. Assuming he's still living there (hopefully he'll be Stateside), Mr. Megatop will fly down from BKK. For accommodations, toss-up between FS and RC-- liked them both, would opt for the better rate--though we might try the Fullerton.

So put me and Mr. Megatop on the list as definite maybes. If anyone spots good fares on SQ 21/22 with no minimum stay, give me a shout!

Yes, Yes, and Yes

I can't wait... I love SIN-Dooooo!

pool team, pool team!

^ We're only one shy of an Original Pool Team reunion!!! ^

Having never SINned before Jerrie and I are in.

Paging SPGs to the SINDo2006 Courtesy Phone...
 

While there isn’t a “hotel central” for SIN Do, each of the majors does a pretty good draw of FTers for the weekend. Several FTers stayed at the Sheraton SIN (currently SPG’s only option in Singapore) during SIN Do 2005. A few of us were talking recently that if we have a similar number (or more) for 2006, there’s a pretty good chance we could work out group rates for those wanting to stay at the Sheraton (particularly since we’ve seen considerably better rates for this property than are currently available for the weekend of SIN Do 2006). I’m more than happy to do the legwork and see what we can work out with the Sheraton for rates the weekend of SIN Do 2006.

If you’re considering staying at the Sheraton, please send me a PM with the following: which nights you’d likely be at the Sheraton (Fri/Sat/Sun/others), which (if any) would be award vs paid nights, and your SPG status. At this point I only want to hear from those who are very likely to stay at the Sheraton whether we have group rates or not. If we can work out a rate, it will be extended to any SIN Doer who is interested, but for now I’m trying to figure a realistic starting minimum number of rooms for the weekend. Any other questions, feel free to drop me a PM.

Cheryl - great idea, but how do you want to handle folks like me that will only pay for the room if the price is right, otherwise I'd go with an award?

Let me know both ways -- if the rate is "right" how many paid vs award nights would you have, vs at the current rate how you'd be willing to book it. Also, let me know what rate/night would make a difference for you in paid vs award nights.
