Whoa, wait a minute. Miles are worth something as they still offer freedom. I have a business class award ticket still for Spain in November but if my plans change, I can go at Christmas time instead, or in March or in June with no penalties.

Yes we should donate blood but I have more interesting tale. I am planning on donating a roundtrip domestic award in hopes that someone who needs to be transferred to another hospital for a special treament or operation can do so, or so a family can be reunited. All airlines participate in some type of charity program. I am also giving an award on CO to a friend in New York who will visit Costa Rica again so that he can take a vacation soon to help combat the trauma he faced working just a block away from the World Trade Center but arrived late to work that day.

Miles are still worth something and even with recent unemployment this summer and new, lessor length and pay consulting projects; I am glad I can offer something back.
