drama, what drama :D

mara, like most fine ladies doesn't spread gossip :D

^ Well said Lucky. But, if you are particularly crafty, you might be able to figure out a bit of detail on facebook. ;)

or, as a proper FlyerTalker, do a quick mileage run to Vegas on Thursday; since you'd be able to get it out of me (in person) after a few glasses of Champagne. :eek:

Ah, it was the minibar, of course. :p

Though, in all seriousness, how can you NOT absolutely LOVE a trip; that starts with a picture like this! :D

Randy, I would like to thankyou for your generosity.^
As they say actions speak louder than words.
To show my appreciation I posted this on MR.
Having known you pre Flyertalk, 1980s, I know you would approve of showing my appreciation in a way which would benefit many and not few.
Thankyou once again.^
Here is the link to my post on MR Forum.

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

I, too, am a beneficiary of YYZprincess's "pay it forward" generosity. In the true spirit of FT. So thanks to Randy for motivating princess and I hope everybody had a grand time in Paris.

Thanks for posting the photos Pat - can't say I've seen food like that on any flight in recent memory! It all looked very yummy and it would seem a great time was had by all.

awesome pics!

I <heart> Pop Out maps and have them for several cities.

And mmmmmmmmmmm! La Duree :)

We look seriously confused by the bike rental instructions... :D

thanks for the pics Pat. time to go again to paris for me. dont know why i dont get tired of paris???

Yes I am torn now. I boarded my UA ps flight Sunday evening and took one look at their menu and said, no thanks, I think I will sleep instead. I don't know how I'm ever going to eat a meal on an airplane again--not to mention the delicious smoothies! Oh and that carrot soup. I could have eaten bowls of that.

Pat, awesome pics. Love the pic of Miss Norfolk (well, at least that's what I named her, as she's from Norfolk, VA - IIRC) carrying all the drinks. I ran into her at the Delta JFK Terminal, trying desperately to get home. There were many Comair cancellations; causing all types of problems. I would love permission to use that photo. ;) When I spoke to her at JFK-DL I mentioned I hoped that she didn't mind us too much, she said "of course not, they really enjoyed the FlyerTalk Passengers."

I'm very jelleous of you getting very tasty macaroons from Ladurée on arrival. Much, much better than that box of that Biz breakfast I got before landing at Orly.

BTW, don't I look a bit like Quasimodo on that bike rental picture? And also, those rental instructions was much easier to understand once I was in command of the rental computer. Ha!

Ladurée macaroons and pastries on a plane? Sigh. Thanks for the picture, Pat with the numbers

Sounds like everyone had a wonderful time and that once again Randy did the perfect, elegant thing. What a classy way to celebrate 10 years of FlyerTalk. Hope you guys were nice to him and didn't whine for some sort of post-count compensation since the flight didn't have onboard internet. Or did it?

And this is such a happy thread -- just the way FT should be. And Princess ^^

Now I'm off to the AA forum and their hot nuts and ice cream sundaes are looking lame. Well, not as lame as the Qantas fudgesicle.

That's because you were. :D

We also had the longer ride of 8 hours in BIZ.

Not at all. Besides we were in the wrong arrondissement for that. :D

Whine? We were down on our knees thanking Randy for the opportunity he gave to us. And sadly no internet on board or we would have been able to post live. The only thing that would have made it better was if our hotels were closer together in Paris. There were some people in the group I didn't meet until our return flight.

I guess I need to get my pictures in order and post a link to them.

I have greater than 300 pictures. Ouch.
