In the past we had previously hosted FTers whom we had previously met but Jerrie has now converted the extra bedroom into an office for her photoart.

I had about two dozen FTers in my house all at once! Those of you who attended my party know the details.

Also, I have stayed overnight at one FTers home and have had drinks/meal at a few others. Not only did I survive but enjoyed every visit.

I haven't yet stayed overnight at an FTer's house, but since I know quite a few FTers, it will probably happen sooner or later.

I did have an FTer stay in my spare bedroom one night (he was on a quick San Francisco visit/mileage run). I think that was the only time I've hosted an FTer, thus far.

I've stayed overnight at another FTer's house, and the FTer in question was an outstanding host, who even did a magnificent cooked breakfast!

I've also had the pleasure of having FTers over at my place, and have also visited a few others at their homes too.

But how were her muffins?

I've stayed and had FTers staying - but I have to know them very well first.

The extra bedroom is an office, so FTers staying over would not be particularly practical, except in very specific circumstances.

If we had the room, I think I would host a FlyerTalk guest. It would all depend on timing and space. In our small apartment though, I think the FT guest would be more uncomfortable than we would be as hosts.

Ironically I had more FTers as guests in my small apartment (where they had to sleep on a very ugly and uncomfortable sofa) than I have in my house (where they get their own room/bath with comfy bed, minibar, and W robe!)

Still, I've had eight FTers sleep in that guest suite over the last two years (moved in here two years ago tomorrow) - so you do the math on how many visitors I've hosted. (And I won't even try to calculate the extras who have slept on the sofas downstairs - I can recall a recent party where there were five FTers in the house asleep in various rooms! )

I have used an FT'ers shower in her apartment in Anchorage....(BLESS YOU). I was doing a MR LGA-IAH-SEA-ANC-SEA-IAH-LGA, all in the span of 36 hours...her shower (and a small change of clothes) made my trip home much more pleasant (especially to anyone around me).

I have a "sleep over" invitation from a FTer and spouse mid-March.

A few times, but it was the same Ft'er A number have overnighted at Casa Alfredo as well...the accommodations have, at times, ranged from a la-z-boy to a guest bedroom to a couch...and even the front porch once when...well, er....ah... never mind

Warm, soft, moist and delicious! And she told me that I was the first-ever FTer to taste them!

Of course, modesty forbids me from mentioning how many more were privileged enough to taste them after me.

Yeah, now she'll even let Americans taste them. Or so I've heard.
