Oh sounds like I missed somethin' ;)

Bags are reloaded in the van... but would be good to get some sleep b4 takeoff :o

Interesting--you can buy Permafrost online: http://www.melandrose.com/istar.asp?...rch=permafrost

(I hope posting a link about alcohol isn't against the FT TOS. I'm pretty sure it isn't; if it were, half of FT would be in deep crap... :p)

I miss my glacierita...

I have that flight on May 1st, thinkin' about possibly the later one though so I can sleep in more... [enroute to Europe via FAI, SEA, MSP and AMS :eek:]

Watcha doing in Helsinki, anything exciting? I never did much there, except stop on the way to Tallinn, Estonia.

So, did you make it to TLL?

Just found out I might have to go to Hawaii for a work trip. It won't be as fun as it could be. I'll be working 12 hour days in a server room with no windows. Pretty much a form of torture if you ask me. :D

Took a ferry there- fun trip and the liquor is about half the cost there as in HEL.

We do have a visitor very soon from LA though. ;)

Bump... golfingboy will be in town next weekend- have made some tentative phone calls; for sure planning on a meetup somewhere Sunday evening after 6 PM.

Hmm. That would work. Thanks for picking a day I'm off! :D

Does golfingboy have a place to sleep other than the insanely-high-tourist-season's-almost-here room rates at area hotels? ;)

(I promise, he's a REALLY quiet guest... :p)

Oh, and owflyer will be stopping by on 6/5 (leaving 6/6). Anyone up for something then?

Thinking dinner at one of the usual good choices (Teeth, Simon's, BrewHouse, etc.)...

Been workin' with a few FTers on it... but they seem to want to go camping :p

Hey there's an idea... we could go camping and pitch a tent :D

I'm still trying to persuade one of those who is now down under to detour thru NYC with a stop at the FT Wine Dinner. :D
