Today is my 44th Birthday
Today is my 44th birthday and I treated myself to a round trip ticket from Newark to Paris (one glamorous destination to another). I got a great buy, $423 on Lufthansa via Frankfurt for November 13-25. This is my 7th trip to Paris.
I also just became STAR ALLIANCE GOLD status which means I can fly coach and use the business class lounges and I will aslo get double miles for a total of about 16,500 frequent flyer miles. Oh did I mention I added on 4 days business in London too? This is my 7th trip to London. I am not bragging. |
Happy 44th Birthday! Good extra perks too. Have a great time :-D.
|
Happy Birthday Richard! Wishing you many more birthdays and many more travels.

Congratulations and happy birthday. I've found that having airline status dramatically changes the experience and economics of travel for me. Happy Contrails!
|
Well you get to use the lounge and sit in perferred seats!
|
Happy birthday :)
|
I made a big pot of Coq au Vin.....
|
richard, we flew Lufthansa a few times to Munich and Paris all via Frankfurt. The transfers in Frankfurt were about 1 hour and our luggage did not make it to us at our destination. Make sure you carry on a change of clothes and some toiletries. Have a nice trip. ((b))

Buon Compleanno richardad..Um loves the chicken..Should I bring some baquette and a bottle of wine?
|
Richardab, one of my all-time favorite Fodor post is your description of your trip to Italy in 2000(?). I've since eaten at one of the restaurants that you recommended in Rome. Happy birthday, Joe
|
Happy birthday, Richard. I hope this year is a terrific one for you. Certainly sounds like it's going to be! |
I'll trade you your birthday for mine (this Saturday); one short of a "full deck".
Best wishes, Rex |
Love your posts too! Happy birthday and go on, brag!

Happy Birthday. Good choice for a gift to yourself. Have a great time!
|
P.S. to Budman.... I almost always fly Lufthansa to Europe with connections and never have a problem. I usually try to get flights that have over 1 hr for connections. I find Lufthansa to be the most reliable airline i have ever flown. OK, the flight attendants do kiss your butt, but nor do they on United!
|
BUON COMPLIANNO! Your birthday was just two days after mine, but I am younger!!! BUT YOU GET TO GO TO PARIS! Have a fantastic trip and don't forget to post when you get back.
|
Happy birthday! It is my birthday, too. I'm a bit younger but didn't get anything as fun as you!
|
Oh! So that explains why you're such an exemplary list-maker!!
From one Virgo to another: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! |
Virgos are a mess, aren't we?
|
Happy b'day richard.
Enjoy your trip to Paris. |
Yes, we are! An organized mess!! :)
Hope you have a great time in Paris, Richard!! |
Happy happy birthday ...baaaabbby!
What a way to celebrate!!! Hope you're still posting when you hit one of the big ones... 50!! |
Happy Birthday Richard, have an awesome trip!! :-)
|
Hi Richard: Sorry I'm a day late, but here are my very best belated birthday wishes! ((G))
Hope you enjoyed your birthday dinner and your trip sounds wonderful. Enjoy it to the fullest! ((R)) |
Wow...MY birthday was yesterday too!! (42) September 7 was also the birthday of Queen Elizabeth I (or so my daughter tells me) and Buddy Holly. Lots of Virgo Fodorites. :) Going to Paris is a great way to celebrate, but I guess I'll have to wait for #44. I did get some noise-cancelling headphones as a great gift, which I'll get to try next week when we go to Hawaii for our anniversary. Happy (perhaps) belated birthday to all of you!
|
Happy Birthday indeed!
As one MARRIED to a Virgo -- do you know how to keep them from making lists for YOU?? |
If it was my 44th birthday, I would be heading to the plastic surgeon, not Paris. Only 10 more years to my eyelid surgery and tummy tuck. :)
|
Depends on how you lived so far, ThinGorjus. Don?t think all people of 44 need patch ups.
Happy birthday Richardab! Another Virgo :-) |
...and the days dwindle down
to a precious few... September Song |
LOL, Sally!! :)
You just very gently grab him by the shoulders, tell him you love him, and VERY FIRMLY SAY: No Thank You!! It is only our desire to help that leads us to do these things!! :D |
Happy Birthday! Live your life to the fullest; make every day counts.
|
Happy Birthday! I am a Virgo too! Heading to London next week.

My balloons have deflated.
|
I hope you had a great day Richard. You dont look a day over 43!
Sad about your balloons, but there is so much 'hot air' here on fodors theyll soon perk up again! Happy birhtday too to all Fodors birthday guys and gals. I myself am a Sagitarian (but they cant touch me for it!). I wonder how many of us are actually like our star signs are supposed to be. Are arians stubborn, taureans bull headed etc? What do you think? CM |
Happy birthday. Isn't elite status great? From the west coast every oversees trip nets a free domestic trip.
Have fun!!! |
