Don't get me wrong- the concept of flying around the world in a metal can is something we love (if in a premium class
). We're about 3.5 decades older than you and love this...and want to keep doing it. It's just that the goal is the flying and destinations, and not a number. Flying 100K miles in premium classes is great, and we plan to do it for many years to come. I just think that the experience should be the goal, and not the number. But it's personal and affects all of us differently. Welcome to a lifelong addiction
Cheers.
