mara, like most fine ladies doesn't spread gossip
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.
Though, in all seriousness, how can you NOT absolutely LOVE a trip; that starts with a picture like this!

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.^

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.

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.

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.
We also had the longer ride of 8 hours in BIZ.
Not at all. Besides we were in the wrong arrondissement for that.
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.
