At least we know you kept up with your MO and ate on the cheap.

Port is wonderful! ^ Portugal has been on my list for a number of years, so I will definitely file away your recommendation of the Ferreira tour.

Hopefully I'll have some photos up soon. Stunningly gorgeous city, complimented by one of the nicest SPG properties I've ever visited.

Saw your Equinox photos on teh Flickr. ^

For the most part, we enjoyed out stay. The room was quite nice and the property seemed to have a lot to offer (although, we weren't able to take advantage of much of it since we were only there for 1 night). I'd say the only downsides were the mostly junior staff, that lacked the level of professionalism a property like this should have, and the way the suite upgrades were handled. Denying a Platinum suite upgrade and then trying to up-charge me $500 for a suite was :rolleyes:.

Actually I wanted to eat on the quick and the Costco is literally adjacent to the B.C. Center.

4.26 CPM, five new lines, two new dots, 32 hours door to door.

Am I getting too desperate?

That 3rd week of March I was talking about is still viable because the fiancee is out of town. Anyone have any hot tips on something in the next few weeks that can be done same-day in the 4-5cpEQM range?

Thursday I am finishing up my 4th straight week of PHL-IAH-SNA-IAH-PHL. $220 AI..... 5340 EQMs. The cheap price would come and go depending on the day. Just wait it out and it will come back.

Good call. I much prefer to stay on CO and keep it simple.

I just discovered that FF has a setting that disables JavaScript window resizing. :-:

I'm surprised you guys didn't know about that. One of the best features of FF.

Plus 1.

All my recent attempts to burn miles have been failing and thus i'm sitting on over 500k UA miles, 700K CO miles, 150K BD and 100k of DL miles.

The priority is to burn the DL miles before I lose Plat, finally booked one reward last week, one more to go.
