well aware & wasn't trying to suggest that it be an event for the Do, just something that is 'on my list'.

IIRC, ELP is the closest 'big' TX city to Big Bend National Park.

Considering that it takes two hours to fly from ELP-IAH, and the same for ELP-SAN, that says tons about ELP being in the middle of nowhere

So, you decided to invite people to the mansion I thought that stuff on FB was all in jest.

Still, I'd love to finally meet you, but will be off to Hawaii a week later, so no can do.

The same thing happened for your first ELP Do. Can you please pick a different time of year next time?

yeah, but it's A WEEK LATER

EWR-IAH-ELP (stop) -IAH-HNL-LIH

sounds like a nice option you even get the BF seats between IAH and HNL

Only if I go the really long way.

Right now, I have confirmed BF award on the UA non-stop. It will be a tough sell to get me to change it, for no other reason than it's nearly impossible to get (I got it as a mistake during the UA/CO merge).

Use AC miles and you can stop over twice on an award.

ELP is good for going to Mexico on domestic miles though.
