Wow. I am overwhelmed by the quick and excellent responses. Thank you all. I hope this trip takes place next year, but it may be 2002.

Family wants to fly 1st Class. I need 375,000 miles and I am two-thirds of the way there. The miles are stacking up every way I know.

I will keep you all posted on the plans, the progress, and will submit a trip report.

You will likely see more questions as the plan comes together. Thanks.
