Part one of my trip report is done. You can find it here. As I promised, I'm not going to bed till the whole report is done, so expect part two in the wee horus of the night and part three sometime tomorrow morning.

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.

Canarsie, what outstanding photographs! I've gone through the full slideshow twice and am heading back for more. It was like being there all over again.

Though, it could be that the week started out with my wife getting a flat tiring on the Infiniti QX4 -- parking the SUV quickly in the corner of the driveway -- throwing me the keys and telling me to take care of it...
While, she proceeded to jump into the Escalade (I kid you not) and back out of the garage directly into the Infiniti; only to return moments later to the house, hand me a bunch of plastic --- and tell me that I had a bit more to take care of that morning.
So.... I'm off to the 5:15AM Exteme Boot Camp --- and shall try to get everything (picture wise) completed before this evening.
Cheers!
--- Michael

had to share, since I hadn't seen my bootcamp instructor (ex-Air Force) since last week (and haven't had a moment to shave); he did say to me "Michael --- I really need you to shave before the next bootcamp. 
"
But, the best comment of the class, which I know lucky will appreciate is when we were doing planks (@ the end of class) and he said to someone :
"This is NOT a plank." I starting laughing like crazy, and I'm certain the entire group now thinks I am insane.....

I added some captions to my photographs.
Please feel free to comment on them.
Also, I forgot which FlyerTalk name goes to the correct person in the photographs. If someone could assist me with this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you, Pat89339!You will need to speak to heffa about the topless French Randy Petersen frolicking about the park, as he is the one who took those graphic pictures.

Canarsie,
What a great set of photos, thanks for that. It really was like being there all over again.
I feel embarrassed that I only took a few pictures. I feel like an FT novice... I only have 1 picture of the plane cabin!!
Like Pat ( with all the numbers ) said, I've gone through them a couple of times and it brings me back there.
Thanks again.

I'll upload my batch of the French Randy Petersen later -- both the regular photos of him and the topless ones. I cannot believe that we actually found him hiding in that great hidden park.
