I love Ti Couz but at that time on a Sunday it will be packed and difficult to get a spot. We'd probably have to roam up to the Pork Store just to get a shorter wait.

Whereas we could have multiple options at the Ferry Building and plenty of places to sit.

are we talking Saturday or Sunday -- I've forgotten. sunday is a no and Saturday is a possible for Matt and I

Ok found it,Sunday, so it looks like we are a no

Saturday we're flying hither and yon. Sunday, only late afternoon flight planned (cross your fingers! Yes, Dallas Ft. Worth, I'm looking at you.)

Still, bummed to not see beth and Matt

Is everyone ok with the Ferry Building? around 11:30? Later?

Sounds perfect to me. Sweets and savories and a bookstore and the Bay and likely some arts and crafts and possibly the outdoor skating rink nearby (not that you'd want to skate - it's tiny and expensive and the wait is horrendous, but it's fun to watch other people skating). Looks like it'll be cool and a little cloudy, but still pretty nice. We could meet at the main entrance right in front of the clock tower. I'll try to make sure Matilda is in her HK holiday shirt.

I'm going to be at the Seattle airport briefly on the 8th and the14th. I'll have about 3.5 hours on the 8th and about 1.5 hours on the 14th, so not really time to go anywhere, but if anyone wants to come out and grab a quick bite or a cup of coffee I'd love to see people.

I was going to be just short of my MVP Gold frequent flier status so I found a couple of cheap fares on Alaska and I'm just flying up and back for the miles. Yes, I know I'm a little crazy, but the MVP gold benefits are worth it.

MVP gold is super useful if only for the free changes, forget upgrades.

I will also be in the airport on the 8th, ND--my flight leaves at 10am and gets back at 6? I think. What time will you be there?

I'll be gone the 14th though (flying out the 13th and back the 15th!)

On the 8th my flight lands at 3:47 PM and I leave at 7:27 PM. Looks like I'll be waiting for my flight when you get back at 6 PM, how does coffee sound?

The big thing for me with MVP gold is that it gives me Sky Priority status on Delta now. While I may not get upgrades, it does put me into boarding group one on Delta flights. There is also the mileage bonus associated with MVP gold that will make it worthwhile.

Sounds like a plan, Drew! I just checked, I land at 622, and I know I'll be at the c2 gates since it's a horizon flight (Wenatchee).

Cool. I leave on an Alaska flight at 7:27, so I should be able to meet you near your gate and we can have coffee before I hop on my flight.

aha! a FLYING F2F!
