Great thread.

I'm planning on using a load of these miles to fly around the world backwards from Aspen to Colorado Springs and take Randy's job. I couldn't think of a better way to get paid (wait a second, Randy, you are getting paid, aren't you?) Never mind. Bad idea. No way I'd be able to fill HIS shoes.

Funny this topic came up. It occured to me on my last flight how fortunate I was to be able to travel as much as I do. My grandmother has always wanted to see Ireland and my grandfather to visit Normandy where his brother was burried after the war. Plans are already in the works to send them both, though they don't know it yet. Lord knows they deserve it. It's the LEAST I could give them for all they've done for me. The only problem is that I'm not so sure if they'd be able to stand being cramped up next to one another for the duration of the flight! )
