Since I will get to say this next week, I'll use it to preface that I'm thrilled to be heading off to Philippines, Taiwan and Japan tomorrow morning. Will be my 10th or so visit to Japan and I finally get to be outside the airport (for three weeks, too!).
Flying on AA miles as I've found they are a LOT easier to use than Delta's. And I'm in J, the only way I travel intercontinentally any more. MCO-ORD segments on AA but westbound on CX and return in five weeks on JL.

Speaking of, I just got back from probably my only pure MR this year, just under 8k MQMs @5.7 cpm -- in F was trying to push it to 9k+ and under 5 cpm but would have required SDC to a double connection in both directions and they wouldn't let me do it on my particular G fare.

Okay I think that awarded you a mega-groan from the queen bee. Unfortunately at the moment though she seems to be mourning for the loss of her lord and savior, Dovster. So, just give her a little time.
Though understandably she was the only women/person in the lounge that missed him

I am, other than the residual sleepiness from the Benadryl combined with a lack of sleep.

The Groaning Kippers sounds like a band name.

I don't know if any of the Loungers are following the thread, but it amuses me that it's 20 pages in and the OP still hasn't managed to figure out how to reply without mangling the quoting.

I know exactly what thread you're talking about. It's been driving me nuts! [insert pirate joke here] If I was a moderator I would go in and fix them all.
