And I just received an email welcoming me to "another year as a WoH Explorist" So it would appear that I have no need to stay beyond the 24 nights I already have this year unless we want to, although we are actually thinking of Seragaki in Oct or Nov, or if that falls through possibly Tokyo again. The extra club awards will allow be to lock in both HR and GH Tokyo as well as Seragaki in addition to a 13-night stay at GH Hong Kong in Feb.

I'm still hoping that sometime in the future Hyatt will start allowing these club awards to be used for breakfast at properties that do not have a club, but maybe that is a fool's hope...
