Frequent Traveler University was held this past weekend in the Washington DC area, more specifically in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia.
Over the course of three days, I have noticed different types of cliques that were formed at #FTUDC. Here, I present the top 10 cliques of #FTUDC:
Number 10. The Couple – It’s great to spend time with a significant other at FTU.
Number 9. The guy on the laptop – Taking notes religiously as if it were a lecture hall.
Number 8. The guy on the phone – He already knows everything.
Number 7. The Sponsors – They tend to only talk amongst themselves and other sponsors at nearby booths.
Number 6. The Girls – They always tend to stick together like sorority sisters.
Number 5. The Hallway – Where new business deals are made.
Number 4. The Bloggers – They tend to stick together with other bloggers in the infamous Hallway.
Number 3. The Twitterers of #FTUDC – The official Twitter hashtag is #FTUDC which was used widely this weekend and the months leading up to the event. There was a Tweet Up held by Travel Summary on Saturday in the lobby bar area of the Hilton Tyson’s Corner. (Photo courtesy of @TopTravelista)

Number 2. The French Bulldog – Brian’s (The Points Guy) puppy Miles was a huge surprise. Angelina from Just Another Points Traveler was in love with Miles. Miles even has an Instagram!
Number 1. Lucky’s following – Wherever Ben (One Mile at a Time) goes, his followers goes with him.
love it! so funny! Too bad I had to miss this one!
see you at the next one!
This is just too funny. Best FTUDC post I’ve read! In particular hilarious to see the girls separated from the boys. It’s like a middle school disco night! Shame I couldn’t make it
not many FTUDC posts on the internet! Glad you liked
Haha this is great! My favorite is “the hallway” sooo true!
the hallway was the best, but sadly didn’t make #1 on my list
This is funny. It’s almost like I was there.
Very funny! (And accurate!)
Too bad I missed it. Which clique did you fall into?
I fell into the Twitterers clique and lounged around in the hallway
I really should have paid attention to the announcements because this session was in my backyard and I could have easily attended. Arrrggghhhh, now I have to travel somewhere to go to a future one. Then again, yeah, I get to travel somewhere for a future one.
Miles is a great name for a dog!
The next one is in Tampa! Don’t miss it
Love the guy on the lap top…..a sub-30 year old with a beard is always impressive……where did parenting go so wrong…..
Pathetic sense of humor! Hope you are a better traveler than a comedian!!! Retch!
Awesome post. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome post! Thanks for sharing!
The Lucky groupies are the best, try to join in and it is like you don’t exist.
Lucky’s group was definitely the toughest one to chime in to…. He’s a celebrity!
Ben is the guy in the last photo wearing glasses?
Yes
Wow that’s very different from the profile pic on his blog.
