" Did you actually blow 480,000 points?"

No - I used 2 GLONP for 175,000 each, 350,000 total. I still have 650,000 - I did the Latin Pass run that banked 1,000,000 and also earn points during the year, so I don't have point problems.

"Also, I'm a little suprised they didn't upgrade you to a suite due to your Diamond status, even though you were on an award."

We had taken the train in from Brussels and didn't get in till 7:00pm - one of the problems with a late arrival is that all of the other golds and diamonds had already talked their way into upgrades. I asked and was told that we might be able to move rooms after 3 days - we were fine where we were and just stayed with the rooms.
