This is officially my 3000th post.

I'm not flying as much as when I started here, but I'm still staying in hotels a lot.

Had a couple of years at HHonors Diamond before dropping briefly down to Silver. Achieved a Gold challenge in the past month and will reach "earned" Gold with my next stay (earned Gold will be valid through 06 while the challenge status expires in April of 06).

Best thing learned here was the familiarity with the HHonors African Safari award and all of the input received from FT that helped make that trip more enjoyable.

Thanks, all
