Well, first of all - - Ya never need an excuse to go to New York, ya know?!?

Second, it really isn't costing me any hard money. The stopover on the way back from MEX is free. I have a lot of hotel points, so the room is free.

I'm doing one night on the way back from MEX to drop off the the application, then a separate one night trip 10 days later to pick it up. So, it's only costing me 15,000 Delta miles for the second round trip from PIT/LGA and some hotel points - AND - it'll be some fun days of shopping, and nights of NYC night life!
