I was sitting in the AA smokers lounge at O'Hare this afternoon having a beer and a smoke between flights. A couple of guys next to me were having a random conversation about the Pres and his Generals. The conversation jumped from topic to topic pretty fluently. It reminded me of the discussions we have here. I thought how cool it would be if these guys are THR regulars. We could sit back, have a few beers and chat, on a Friday afternoon, at the end of a long week, with people who are like minded. About twice a year I have a 5-6 week strecth of travel for work. Usually Germany or Singapore, but it could be just about anywhere. Anyway, If other folks out there ever spend time in the airports of the world, we should organize meetups. I think it would be fun to see the reaction of people at the airport with a discussion about Politics, or the 2nd....Anyone?

Just got back from Mass via TFG Providence with the stopover in Regan.
Usually holed up in Cinci while waiting to get to/from wherever.

Travel? Sure. I'm in a hotel outside Atlanta, GA right now. I'll be in Chicago for three days later this month. Front Royal, VA in early May. Elkins WVA after that. Vancouver BC in June. Philadelphia, PA in late june.
So far this year I've been to Riverside CA, Aneheim CA, Philladelphia PA three times... shall I go on? By the time this year ends I'll probably have enough frequent flyer miles to book a trip to Crab Nebula.
I spend more time in airports than the TSA :banghead:
Funny part is, whenever I'm trapped in a hotel somewhere in Jerkwater USA I check in at the Rallying Point in hopes of finding some fellow THR members getting together while I'm in their neck of the woods.

I usually put up about 100-150k a year. A few trips to Singapore and I fly free for a year. Between now and July 1, I have two trips to Germany and two to Singapore. That will be a nice boost for the first half....Sucks that I will miss the best part of the summer though. I kinda miss the days of goingt o a bunch of different places within the states. Now I am pretty much international travel with a few trips to the left coast. Chicago O'Hare is my most frequent lay over point, but ocassionally I will get stuck in Atlanta or LA.
