Shoot, all these years I just thought collecting miles was FUN!

Seriously I agree with MGM, I alway enjoy listening to a new academic point of view. Then I reflect, make some adjustments if warranted, and then blissfully go on doing whatever makes me happy.

Having enough miles to take my whole family to Europe when I want, or to travel around the country whenever we feel like it, makes me very happy. I assure you, Richard, the good experiences and memories I have accumulated travelling with my family are among the most precious and lasting treasures I possess.

I think this post has actually been wonderful for me as it made me start thinking how much more lasting those memories will be if I make a better effort as completing my trip journals. I just had a vision of my great-granchildren re-enjoying our visit to the Alhambra. I'll make a little labels for the journals that read, "Memories Courtesy of FF miles."

p.s. Hey, CATMAN Don't knock Seattle/Portland trips. I get 4,100 miles per trip. Just from my SEA/PDX trips, alone, I get enough mileage for two business class tickets to Europe each year. I'm not complaining.
