Since I am suffering a bad case of insomnia tonight. I thought I would post something here.
Well, I think I did this once, but I want to make it right this time and REALLY introduce myself.
I am Nathan. I am 25 years old ( yes, that's my real age, not 15, or 30). I live in New York City. Unfortunately , I am not in IT or sales like most of people on Flyertalk. I travel to LA and SF very often (weekly). My mom recently moved back to LA, so I have a great reason and a great place to stay when I am in town.
I work in publishing. I enjoys all the finest things life has to offer. If you ever come to NYC, feel free to contact me as I would hook you up with the finest restaurants/hot spots that NY has to offer.
Big thanks to all my friends whom I made through FT. You all taught me so much about traveling. It's great to find people who love to travel as much as I do.
Lastly, thanks P,L , and R for being such amazing moderators who whipped me in shape. *wink*

Hiya FTers.
I guess I'll pop in here too for an intro -- having just found this area of flyertalk today by chance.
I live in Cambridge, MA, but have been commuting 1-2 weeks / month to SFO for the past 5 years. My bf of 8 years is a grad student here, and I head up a marketing dept for a tech company there, hence the back & forth.
I'm hooked on hotwire for hotels, and have probably stayed at every 3+ star hotel on hotwire in SF, and more or less know them by heart, based on the amenities offered. So if you are visiting SFO and need to know if that 4-star hotel in Union Square is the Parc 55 (eh), the Hilton (better) or the Nikko (woot!), I'm your guy!
cheers!

Well, I have been "cruising" (for lack of a better term) the rental car forums for about six months, and clicked on my favorites link which didn't work tonight. Lucky for me since I started from scratch and found this forum!
I'm James from Portland, OR. I'm 36 and a mortgage broker. I worked in the car rental business for 15 years so I would consider myself pretty educated about any car topic!
My partner and I love to go to Puerto Vallarta every year and are looking for new fun, relatively inexpensive locations to try!

Welcome to the forum John -
If you look at the first post on this thread, there is a link to a few outside maps and threads where people have posted more information about themselves, including in some cases pictures.
Stick around and post, you'll find that we are a very diverse group of people of all ages and appearance, including some younger than you and less hot and some older and much hotter
Since our main interest here is travel, it doesn't make much of a difference.

Hey everyone. I'm Aaron, a 28 year old computer virus/spyware researcher living near Seattle. I grew up in southeast lower Michigan and I fly back there to visit family/friends and also Cedar Point, an amusement park in Ohio, a few times a year. Yes, I'm a roller coaster enthusiast, and I've been on the same coaster, named Magnum XL-200, a little shy of two thousand times now. And no, I never get tired of riding it.
I heard of mileage running a few years ago and the idea intrigued me, but I never considered starting until just recently. I lurked for a bit before registering and thought this is where I want to make my first post. I'm not a stranger to forums as I help run the forum and mange the server that a group of us friends run to help people clean malware from their PCs (and have some fun, too). We're a welcoming group, and it's nice to both find and join a forum holding the same values as we do.
From all the great info at FT, I'm taking my first two MRs in the next few weeks to try it out. (For the curious, they're SEA-ATL-CMH-DTW-SEA, followed by SEA-DTW-MEM-MSY-MEM-LAX-SEA a few weeks after.) Luckily, when I explained to my manager that I was taking these trips and said, "It's called mileage running," he cheerfully replied, "OK, now, you’re the second person I know who does this," which made getting the time off that much easier.
See ya around,
-Aaron
