After some slightly keystone-cops style running around the terminal in our attempts to meet up with fellow Flyertalker dhammer53, Willard settles down in the very compact bar in the Sheraton JFK to wait wait for our impromptu Flyertalk meet.

dhammer53 came bear-ing gifts! Genuine New York Italian pizza! Willard was not only glad to meet up with yet another Flyertalker, but was very impressed with his taste in pizza! If dhammer53 recommends pizza, Willard advises you listen, as he knows his pie! This was one seriously tasty pizza.

After saying goodbye to dhammer53 Willard's jet-lag allows him to have a long sleep, and the next morning, all thoughts of taking a trip into Manhattan are quitely dispensed with. It was all I could do to rouse the little fella for breakfast!

Though we did not get upgraded to the Club floor on this (award) stay, and thus with our new, lowly, Starwood Gold status, were not strictly entitled to access the club lounge, the Manager graciously allowed us in so that Willard could see what he was missing.

The small, open Club lounge nethertheless includes all of the creature comforts Willard expects, and the fact that the hotel has chosen to offer complimentary WiFi access to all guests is something we think should be encouraged (and publicised by the management!)
