Thank you Flyers for being on my side! Hugs all around. If it wasn't so hot I'd bake a cake too!

The miles were awarded to celebrate the launch of points.com . I won enough miles for (at the time) 12 business / 25 economy trips to the USA, deposited directly into my account. I have flown twice since then (Nashville and Las Vegas, business class, both for conventions) using points for me and my mom.

I want to use the points to make more trips MYSELF (cake shows, phonecard shows, somewhere interesting like Ireland or Australia), and also if I can get things patched up with my bf (Omaha) then visit him some more and he can come see me too when he stops being terrified of leaving the country and experiencing a little culture shock. (but that's fodder for another thread)

If the shoe were on the other foot, I may have suggested a trip together but I would have no expectations. He gave me a points ticket some years ago to fly to Toronto (cattle class, lost luggage and all) for a phonecard show, so we could exhibit together. But I didn;t ask/beg for that ticket.

So now I feel much better saying MINE MINE ALL MINE HAHAHAHAHA! I still dream about that hot fudge sundae at 29,000 feet, somewhere between DFW and YUL last year....
