    Sagy, you poor thing, you must be exhausted being in all those restaurants with smiling women hanging off your arm... If you can keep your strength up, be sure to travel to New Zealand & Autralia sometime as well!

    I'm glad someone understands how much hard work is involved, not to mention sacrificing my body :rolleyes:

    A trip down under sounds like a good idea, I'm a shamed to admit that I have never been to Australia or New Zealand. Now all that is left is to find award availability on Qantas in first class - need to make sure that I get there in well rested :D

    Now that HA and BA awards are visible on AA.COM it might be easier to find award seats to down-under. Hopefully QF isn't too far behind though I can't recall any tentative dates for that during our OWMD briefing.

    Going to be there both in May and June :D. The first one is vacation so I would be able to add to the collection :cool: .

    Alright after much peer pressure over copious amounts of brisket this weekend, you can put me down for the standard 25 cents/picture as well.

    That would be the scenic route to TSV!

    Going to TSV via TLV would indeed be a very scenic route ;)

    ORD-TSV 8,899mi

    Earning an extra 5,451 EQM for taking a connecting flight, I'm in :p

    Not that any of these legs is available as a non-stop on a commercial airline.:oops:

    I just (finally) posted another 20+ photos taken at the Austin MegaDo 2012 and updated all the stats. As it turns out, that takes past two significant milestones:

    1. We hit $500 in total pledges.
    2. We zoomed past 100 photos.

    That means that the doors are now open to start making your first set of real donations. You can of course use any donation method you like, but if you use the AA Miles for the Cure program you were limited to increments of $25, which we have now achieved.

    Please post back here that you have made your donation and I will update the table in the 2nd post to reflect that.

    Thanks everyone!

    Keep in mind that if you forward me the receipts of your donation, I can get 100% match (would be nice if it mentions Sagy's Quest to "Fly for the Cure" or something like that).

    We got a great number of women participating last night, but unfortunately, most of the pictures didn't come out:mad:. I post the ones that did shortly.

    Looks like I have some homework to do. As mentioned upthread, my $25 is headed to Planned Parenthood.

    Keep in mind that there is 100% match available if you email me the receipt. It would be helpful, but not mandatory, if some mention of me or this effort is on the receipts. Please email these to SGK4Cure at Sagy dot Net (the email is also good for Planned Parenthood donations and they will be matched as well.
