Not diminishing the importance of this "hobby", love it (my middle name should have been travel). Just wondering if I am alone in having to take a more proactive approach in balancing in my time

My wife enjoys those J seats and hotel stays that I can get with my FF miles and hotel points. (In fact, this is the only way that I can afford to treat her in the style to which she would like to become accustomed.)

Bottom line: this is a healthy obsession. Good for my marriage. ^
