Hi all ~ New to this community, but familiar with the format, other sites use this so my learning curve is narrowed down to common topics and threads of interests. I too am a frequent flyer ~ I live in the Seattle area and have enjoyed the opportunities to touch down across the lands and experience different cultures. In 2007 I traveled approx 100k business miles (nationally, not globally) I don't know what category that places me compared to all of you, but it seems nuts to me. Perks are nice, but the 400meter airport dash from terminal to departing gate is what kills me!

Personal travel I enjoy deeply. Last year was my first visit to Paris, Rome, Cairo and Greece. An amazing, charging experience. I've traveled to Africa and Asia before and am now curious where to go next - I'm thinking Germany?

Looking forward to the sharing
