Holy moly! Expectations for your TRs have become quite high, and yet I am still left believing that this is one of the finest I've ever read on FlyerTalk.
...and I did NOT realize that SkyClubs serve Woodford Reserve as their well bourbon! Woodford is, for my money, the king of bourbons: smooth and unpretentious enough to have one or two too many and still feel good about myself in the morning, but astute enough for me not to waste too much in one sitting.
Amazing work, Seat 2A!

Not all Sky Clubs serve Woodford Reserve, zcat. In fact, I think it's fair to say most don't anymore as the only one I've found that pours it complimentary is the Boston club. One of the LaGuardia lounges (The original Crown Room) used to pour Maker's Mark but I don't know if that still continues.

Keeping up with your normal standards, a simply EPIC TR. Thanks for all your thoughts. I sometimes have earth shattering thoughts about travel while on mileage runs, I just never write them down. Thanks for transcribing yours.
Thanks again.
Eric
Thanks again.

Thanks for another great read Seat 2A! Ironically, I declined to go out with friends tonight, as I have an early morning flight tomorrow to start my own puny mileage run. I was planning to hit the sack early, but I stumbled on your TR and couldn't put it down.

Even some of the airport police know me now. Twice this past month they’ve stopped by to rouse what they thought might be a homeless person (most legitimate passengers sleep in the brightly lit and noisy public areas) and upon discovering it was me as I peered out from under my blanket, essentially said “Oh, it’s you! Sorry about that. Have a good night, now.” I love it!
Fabulously engaging report Seat 2A. I really enjoyed reading about your crazy MR.

Just read the first installment. Great as always :-:
Am sure the guys in BNE will shout you a XXXX to drown the sorrows of Y (QFWP: that means you]
An international F is must be in the crystal ball
Now when can we expect the TR on burning those miles ?

BTW, it's a pity my relatives in GEG live all the way out in Nine Mile Falls, otherwise I'd hit them up for a bed for you - they live in a decent double storey home on the lake and are by themselves now their kids are in Uni. He's in Alaskans' MVP (but haven't asked what level lately).

Thanks for another well written travel adventure. That rental car breaking down was untimely, but I guess they always are. Those snow storms seemed to follow you around the country too. I'm already looking forward to the next report!
