Hey,

My wife and I recently decided to do a lot more traveling with our kids. I found this forum and signed up just to learn how to maximize my miles with CO out of EWR.

I have to say I am blown away by this whole subculture I've discovered. I've been reading about the mileage runs, status, upgrades and everything else on here. (MrHalliday, I read and loved your "Confessions" piece)

Well, I'm in. I've been so bitten by the bug from reading this forum, and I'm ready to head off anywhere to get started. This will be our new hobby.

Some of the threads on here are a bit advanced for me right now with the jargon and references. Is there one area where I can begin reading to learn basic strategies and information?

And thanks so much for my new passion.

Andrew
