There's probably a huge group of us whose spouses and families "think we're on crack"
And almost all, like me, do earn little stars by our name when we plomp down with spouse/fam in UAL 15 upperdeck transpac.
But somehow this never equals the points deducted and ribbing ... sigh.
Spouse is currently baffeled that I am pulling my hair out trying to get to Luanda on * or OW. I Spend more time looking at possibilties for travel than actually preparing for the work.
