A year (and a bit) since the PiP
Ironically, I just realized that it's been about a year since the Party in Paradise (Hawaii "oldies" FlyerTalkers meeting in Nov 1999).
Wow, how things have changed since then. The PiP and FlyerTalk was a whole different place compared to now. That was back in the day when this board was friendly and useful, with little noise and controversy.
Thanks again to everyone I met there for a great time. Thanks to all of the supposedly "arrogant, elitist clique" (sans Merry and a few others who couldn't make it) who flew out to Hawaii for a few days to meet complete strangers.
On the last day, Rudi made some oddly prophetic remarks about the future of FlyerTalk to me. Time has proven him correct. I hail his vision.

Catman is right, "words can't do justice to the PIP!" I'm happy to have participated. And I'll add as I did in another related PiP thread, that we'll never find that recipe again.
But perhaps we can come close?

"...arrogant, elitist clique?" Who says? I must have missed something! But, thanks to a wonderful bunch whom we met in SF in Sept, 1999, my husband and I were talked into not missing the PIP - the once and ever PIP. We are grateful, folks - it was the best!
