Oh, I would appreciate any photos or files that could be emailed to me. And if you are in ATL, I could possibly pick up on one of my next trips to ATL.

Funny enough I watched the 777LR pull in today from the same seats (which, might I add were in the same configuration). However no one had to go into the nose.
The CRC agents all seemed to know about us but said they were disappointed that none of us visited so I reminded them that the vast majority of us already had CRC memberships :-)
Just wanted to add that I am honored to have the 666th post of this wonderful thread.

It was fun though when the 8 of us walked in and the agent quickly processed the 7 CRC/WC/SC cards to get us in. Though I should have had colpuck use his name on the list rather than him being one of our guests.

Here is a great series of cartoons (British humour) of road warrior training. There are five in this series, the last of the five is my favourite:

Sincere thanks to atldlff and canarsie for orchestrating such a great three days.
To the Delta ladies if you're reading this: You're the reason we stay (through the good and bad) with Delta Air Lines.
To everyone I met, it was a pleasure meeting you and looking forward to even more fun on the next "Do."

Several of you sent me a note that the Airport Hilton did not honor the 50% discount on High Speed Internet Access in guest rooms, upon checking out. My sincere apology for the inconvenience. I am not sure why that happened, and unfortunately I cannot address the issue with the Sales office until tomorrow morning. I will get the issue corrected, and I have a complete list of everyone that had reservations at the group rate. I will let you know how and when the issue will be resolved as soon as I have had a chance to discuss it with the Hilton tomorrow.
I hope everyone had a safe journey home - and no matter which runway or direction you headed out from the ATL airport, there was a view of one of the venues that you visited during the last three days. Until next time...

I write from the DC Acella Lounge on a GW Sleeper tix. The car attendent said he found me asleep on the bedroom couch about midnight and thought it best not to wake me to put the bed down.
Got up in time for a shower and breakfast. Not as tired now. Four days from now I will be in SJC for the holidays and then back on a NW/DL rev tix: SFO-JFK-IND. Put the DL Road Warrior tag on - it clangs against the red Delta.com water bottle clip, next to the soon to be 3th tier tag.
After I turned in the rental car, the BHM DL ticket counter staff helped me tape shut the model 767-300 box with great interest. "You arn't flying with us today?, they asked - looking disapointed. I said "No, but I would after Amtrak to SJC." "Good you are with us," they said. Cab to the sad BHM "Amcave," Good crawfish and rice dinner on the Cresent.
I concure: Best for us all to chip in so the facilatators arn't out a lot of money.
