Well we got back from Hawaii yesterday! Flew Delta first class from IAH, via SLC, as well as Hawaiian Airlines from HNL to KOA.

One night at the Doubletree Alana Waikiki. 6 nights at the Hilton Waikoloa (ALON award). 2 nights at a house in Volcano Village (no miles, no points, I know!).

I have posted a few thoughts on the Hilton board....but just wanted to say here it would never have happened without all the good advice I have received on FT. So thanks y'all!
