My current position requires me to be on the road nearly every week (recently, CID, MSP, RDU, EWR, BUR ... you get the idea). Luckily, I like travel and what I do.

My wife and I try to schedule a trip to Europe at least every other year, traveling simply (it helps that, when I used to be a consultant, one of my clients was Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door -- lots of good tips and people there). Though we do occasionally splurge with Starpoints for a high-end hotel. And we visit Starwood timeshares in Hawaii and Colorado.

We (me and Seattlenerdette) live outside of the Seattle area in an area known as Lake Tapps which is chock full of airline personnel and only a half-hour from SEA. I'm currently a NW Platinum Elite, AS MVP Gold, and Starwood Preferred Guest Platinum (plus members of various other programs at lesser levels).

Hobbies? Reading, writing ... and, of course, travel.
