I haven't quite told the BF this, but when I arrive at ATL on December 28 to spend the weekend and New Year's Eve with him, I will have flown IAH-DFW-LAS-LAX-MCI-MKE-ATL to get there over two days, on four airlines, and picked up the last night I needed in 2007 to re-qualify my Marriott status for another year. He'll probably think I'm crazy, but then I'll remind him how he's traveled across the country to buy a barely running car off Craigslist from a complete stranger, only to find out that it had no heat (and it was the middle of winter), and we'll call it even.
