SIN Run 2007
 

SIN Run 2007
________________________________________
Here it comes again……………

Singapore over MLK weekend 2007. That is January 13 and 14 (Sat. and Sun.) for the rest of the civilized world.

The feast in the Southeast, a.k.a. SIN Run 2007 celebrates its 5th birthday this year!

This thread will always be a good place to find out the latest on who is signed up, what events are being suggested, special deals on hotels etc, etc.

A web page will be set up in the next few weeks and it will show a listing of events times, dinner details and itineraries of attendees.

Each year this party has seen more and more first time travelers to Singapore and first time mileage runners. Judging by previous years, this year should also be a great way to grab a few early miles, munch on a platter of amazing Singaporean Pepper Crab, and to meet some people who may be just names in the ether to you.

You are officially invited to come on down and join in the fun on the equator.

Mike

I will be there for Friday supper at Lau Pa Sat and Saturday dinner at No Signboard.

Well gfowler-ord-1k has beaten me to it, but I'm second to sign up. :)
Can't resist another trip to SIN. I've booked Jan.10-15 on UA. Will post itinerary later.

I would love to do this! Please put me down as tentative.

Well, despite being the third to sign up ;), I'm planning on arriving late Friday for a munch at LPS, and Saturday's NoSignboard dinner. Outbound on UA early Monday A.M. Sheraton will be the hotel.
I'll be 4 out of 5 for SIN runs, and here's hoping that this year's is the best yet!!

Best, Dave

count me in for Saturday events for sure! Leave Sunday night....staying at Grand Hyatt @ 10 Scotts Road....

tempting, tempting ....

I put it in my PDA, but I am not sure, if I am able to make it.

Woo-Hoo, count me in, air/hotel/upgrades are already booked.

I'll send you my travel details for the website when up and running, but you can for sure count me in for a Friday night munch at a hawker area and dinner on Saturday (not sleeping through this one !!! :o )

thanks (again) for all your efforts Mike ^ ^ ^

--

My travel arrangements are confirmed - coming in Friday night and leaving Monday morning.

Interested. Very, very interested. :)

I wish you all a lot of fun but cannot attend myself since University starts a week before already.

Yo tambien.

Put me down as a 70% maybe, my new job does not have many vacation days so this might have to do :D

Extremely Likely
 

I've been wanting to make one of the Sin DOs for several years. Looks like the stars may align this year. Put me on the very likely list. Thanks.

I've already booked flights and hotel for SIN Run.

I missed buying the TG CMB fare by one night.......so i'll be HKG on the 13 :( i'll be coming into SIN on the morning of the 14.

Oh ? Are you doing the LON Do on Saturday night as well ? :)

Oops - I've clarified that I'm on for SIN Run. Still checking out the possibility of the double DO (with London).

I'm in. Will be trying out UA's newly repositioned nonstop from IAD to NRT on 11 January. Coming back via LAX on the 16th to recoup some of the miles I'm foregoing on the outbound.

Does that mean you would be making a...(dare I say) Do Do? :p :eek:

it won't be the first time :eek:

Very tempting. I'm a maybe.

This is very tempting. Add me as a stong maybe.

I have attended all of the previous ones so count me in. I have already booked my flights and scored F on SQ from lax yipee.
Will arrive on Friday evning late like 1am

I won't even play my usual SIN run game of counting myself in and then bailing later - unfortunately we are in "no vacation" mode that weekend so there is no way for me to make it to SIN and back. :( :( :(

Since we will each have 2 SWUs that will need to be used up in January, we have been thinking that we will either go to Singapore in January, and then take a hop over to Viet Nam, or else go to Viet Nam, and then hop over to Singapore.

Either way, it is highly likely that we will be at the party. ^

Ok, I am definitely coming now. Booked my flight and got upgraded to business on all segments. :D I'm flying UA on 1/8 via ORD and NRT and returning 1/15.

Added: If any 1K's are in C on UA 881 ORD-NRT on Jan 8th and would be willing to get me into row 15 I would be forever greatful!! :D

ATMs
 

I was thinking of coming, but IIRC there was a lack of available ATMs for people to get cash and repay other attendees.

1) You be baaaddddd... :p

2) I'd come just to see you. ^

3) How is it you are FT Member #69? :eek:

Word of mouth? :D

Right. I'm almost in. :)

Nice job, Mike. Put me on the confirmed list, please.

Booked flights some time ago, in anticipation of the
official RUN announcement.

Jan 07/08: ORD-NRT-SIN (UA 881/803)
Jan 15: SIN-ORD (UA 896)

Booked, confirmed, upgraded - life is sweet sometimes!

Hotel split between Sentosa Resort & Spa and Grand Hyatt.

Please put me down as a tentative.

I plan to go visit the fam in CGK that month. Perhaps I can schedule a long layover in SIN on my way to CGK so I can attend the Do :D

Very tempting...very interested... :cool:

Hmm. I wanted to go to last years but was otherwise detained. Maybe if my plans for new years are hampered by work I can make up for it with this. I guess I'm in the 'interested enough to subscribe to the thread to keep updated' column.
