Hello everyone!

Like another recent poster mentioned, I found out about this community through Fatwallet for the Luxury Hotels of the World promotion. Did not score a room but congrats to everyone who did.

I live in PHL but have flown out of LGA and EWR for international flights. As much as I love to travel, I actually hate to fly. It's gotten progressively worse since the SwissAir crash ten years ago, but I still muster up enough to get me through the flight. In the future I'd love to do a course to assist people who have a fear of flying.

I've not had employment that required travel, so my flights/vacation stays are all leisure. Have finished traveling for the year, short 3 day Bahamas cruise and another trip to Orlando. Next year my trips will be a convention in New Orleans and a trip to Paris.

This year I've been introduced to the world of Airport VIP clubs via Priority Pass thanks to the CitiAmex deal. I love them! Am also interested in staying in some luxury hotels during my travels.

I don't travel nearly enough to ever have the awards levels that many of you have, but will take advantage of whatever promos apply to me.

So many great parts to this forum but especially love the credit card forums. Take care everyone!
