I had a delightful time yesterday, despite the rain. Thanks to checking FT, I met seanthepilot and Moomba for drinks at the Conrad lounge. Not free I discovered, even though I'm HH Gold, but great cheeses and chocolates, and conversation, of course. Then off to the Swissotel New Asia Bar. I'm sure this is the "hottest" spot in town, especially if the volume of the music is the judge. 
After introductions, and before we got completely hoarse, it was off to La Pau Sat, to await the arrival of violist, bseller and Lori_Q. We were sorry to hear about WWBGD's passport problems. I'll say an airline prayer and I hope you are currently now 1/2 way across the Pacific. Please post an update.
The good news, it has stopped raining!

Well, it was a pleasure catching up with everybody and handing Freddie Jr. off to GFowler who will take grand care of him in the Presidential Suite we have heard such nice things about.
This was a really fun allbeit way too short evening, and greetings to all the nice people I met from the SQ lounge here in SIN ...

Good morning! I made it SIN! I'm just checking to see if there are any plans made for today or this evening. I am at the Conrad. Cheers.

Another Great SIN weekend. I really enjoyed meeting everyone, although the weekend never seems long enough.
We missed mjm, Sweet Willie, and so many others. But, there'll be another one...
... when is your long weekend in January in '08?

Thanks RNO and the others. It actually was not a lot of work to organize the dinner -- a few phone calls, postings and a scouting trip. I am willing to do it again and the second time will be easier.
