Evening, Box.
These full day sessions I've been doing have really thrown a spanner in the works in terms of keeping up with the Box :rolleyes: Anyway, off to PHX tomorrow to attend VJ's Mileage Run Seminar on Saturday. Meeting up with mnmag at the airport to add her as my PLAT companion in the hope of getting her an upgrade. Keep fingers crossed.
