Well done!

And I had some interesting comments by the 2nd EXP agent who just completed a pair of oneworld C awards for my wife and I in April, with parts of it not having a lot flexibility (sfo-scl-ipc-tls-bud-lhr-sfo)
exp agent "We cringe when we get these requests."
me "Aren't most of pretty well prepared before we call."
exp agent "Yes, you guys do seem to have a lot knowledge"

And the reason she was the 2nd was because the 1st probably cringed too much and we "mysteriously" got disconnected.

Hey LRD, unfortunately I did not make it back to DC. I played the AAgent phone game (call back and back and back) but no one gave me the answer I was looking for (although I did appreciate the comic relief given me by the agent who swore I couldn't even make it back to the states...), so I'll end in ORD at 5:15am. It's still not bad. I have friends in MIA and ORD to stay with and cheap tickets are always available MDW-BWI and BWI-FLL, so it should be ok.

Either that or I'll be so sick of flying 76:10 (in the air alone), I'll rent a car and drive Chicago-DC. :D

Congrats! I need to get on planning my bar trip. I just can't decide on where I want to go. Every time I think of somewhere I decide I want to go somewhere else as well. I'll be flying on a One World J class RTW ticket as well.
