2 night CY stay = 198 miles
2 night FSM stay = 756 miles
ATL-RIC - 500 miles + 5125 bonus miles = 5625 miles
2 night CY stay = 226 miles
RIC-ATL-XNA - 1085 miles + 5271 bonus miles = 6356 miles
1 night RI stay = 77 miles
XNA-ATL - 585 miles + 5146 bonus miles = 5731 miles

In all, 18,969 miles for a week and a half of travel. Not a bad take.
Ahhh--considering the trouble the few on the thread have had with the T&C's this new way of posting would appear that Delta has found a way to post the miles just with the flights to avoid having to give miles for multiple hotels.
