Can't make spring, one of the two conferences I still attend each year starts on that Sunday. Hoping to make the fall as part of driving from NC to Chicago to visit family.

Amazed that its standard 8000 redemption and not 9500. Bargain.

For those who fondly(?) remember the One Point, I am at the 4P in Bakersfield tonight and let's just say it's of the same caliber. It was only 7600 Bonvoy points though...
