I guess I Should have been clearer. I am unemployed, just looking to have fun for awhile and see the planet. I have good credit, money is not a problem. My wife has a great job, so I don't have to work that much right now. Man them Civil War questions are tough...I do re-enacting but not that great of a historian

So I guess the best way is just get some credit cards with miles on them is the best way? Thanks for the advice all!
