Hey, I'm usually lurking around a-net, but I refused to shell out cash to comment on a v b wars, so I found this place! I'm 19 from Manila, and I've been around the weirdest places, and I'm terribly fond of fabulous trips, and I can't wait for my next one to europe!

Hello. I am new to this site, but have been reading it for awhile. I'm from the Boston area and travel just about every day of the week as a consultant. Although my trips bring me along the east coast, I spent a lot of time in NYC, FL, Seattle and LA.
Delta and Starwood keep me happy and I'm sure they are happy I am happy

Ever Wake Up Laughing
Hi Folks - My work travel lately has been confined to short hops on WN so I haven't been around here much. However, I did think of this site recently when I woke up laughing. In my morning stupor, I somehow got it in my head to wonder what would happen if all airport codes ended in X. San Francisco would be famous for special effects. Amsterdam would no longer accept Visa. Dallas would be unreliable. San Diego would become a jazz mecca. Paperless tickets would be gone at Fresno. Las Vegas would be even more like LA. Memphis concessions would serve only tacos. Boston, absent ice hockey, would turn to boxing. But most importantly, and what got me laughing, was that we would all book one way flights to Seattle! - Rich

Heya... im Jaden, 21 yo in Orange County, CA (the OC)... theres already an abundance of shirtless surfers in nearby Huntington Beach, so the only reason why I travel is to see more of the sights and to discover more of this mystical giant we call the "world". And ofcourse cuties from other cultures is a added bonus. I normally travel alone, sometimes with a friend, but since im still in college, I havent really committed to anyone yet... (hint hint guys!)... im heading up to SF (first REAL time) this weekend... pointers on which places to check out peoples ? I'll be there for the weekend!

Is it possible i never logged into this thread? My nakme is Tom and I'm a many year FTer - flying about 150-200,000 year mostly on UA and StarA. I live in SF, and am the director of an art center in Oakland. Flying is both work and addiction, plus many friends in Paris and London, family in italy, and am now ending a 3 year relationship with my Swiss boyfriend.
Has anybody else lasted more than three years in a further distanced relationship than my SFO-GVA?

Greetings All -
Thought I should add my 2 cents as well! I live in Chicago with my partner of 7 years. I work out of my home office and commute to DFW about once a month plus lots of midwest regional travel. I work in the meetings industry and changed organizations about 3 months ago after 15 years at Starwood and Hyatt. 99% of my travel is on AA and this year I decided to gun for EXP again (having earned it in 2001 thanks to the many fine folks on FT!).
I tend to do the quick turn MR (FRI-SUN or SAT-MON) and this year I am (gulp) gonna do 'em in coach! Of course, my partner thinks I am insane for doing these trips....until we cash in the miles for F tickets to Sydney!
