Don't mistake the politics of FT at large with the politics in Teh Box..

Fair enough. I have no exposure to any political talk on FT other than the little bit we have in here, which is fine by me. I can't imagine getting even an iota of utility by going anywhere near OMNI P/R.

Yup, SZG is official. No thread has been started, but I'll do that in the next few months.

This list could get y'all through the next decade worth of Beer DOs. Anywhere from HAN to good old hometown PHL. :p

It's pretty awesome for SPG as well. I could have Platinum locked up in a heartbeat if I could just get myself down here for enough nights. Of course, I can almost never actually stay in the places, but we did luck out when my family was here for Easter weekend and we got the Sheraton in Arlington for $46/night including tax. We decided, given those rates, that it was OK to splurge on two rooms for the 5 of us. :)

I never have. I have had exactly ONE EUA since becoming Plat (IAH-SFO last month).

Happens all the time for me. I'm usually surprised when it doesn't happen. In fact, I'm usually upgraded for entire four day trips 24 hours before I depart on the first segment, and often on fare codes that are all over the map.

Some people have all the luck.

Only thinking about it because of double EQM and the international bonus - would hit diamond (which means I could retire the AmEx Reserve card, saving $300) and earn over 65,000 RDM. Taken together, I can mentally justify this as a "free trip". And I can haz Park Hyatt Sydney on free nights :cool:

I'll have less than 40 nights to go for lifetime plat after my next Marriott stay. I try and hit SPG whenever I can because I prefer them, and like you, my balance on SPG goes up and down, never getting nearly as high as I like. For all the MR points I spend, I always seem to have half a million there; it's like kudzu.

Hahaha...there are plenty of us who would be more than happy to help you out with some of that kudzu! :p

I just hope that I can acquire enough Starpoints in the next several months to cover all the honeymoon nights. Hopefully I can get the SPG Amex and that will help, but still, sitting on only 21,000 points right now, I'm a little worried. I know my parents MUST be sitting on some kudzu-like totals of Marriott points due to their two timeshares, etc., but I don't exactly want to ask them to help out...

Didn't see/jump on this in time. Ugh.

I just got a forward this morning with someone's WN itinerary to LAS. Where was the first clue that this wasn't actually for me... :p

I believe it is and that he is talking about the Knap of Howar.

Yup. The settlements here are from 3000-3600 BCE. The walls are just a couple feet high now but they are impressive. I've got plenty of pictures to share when I get more time.

Working on my second post-exercise pint now - they've got pretty solid local brews here in the Orkenys - and time for a shower and dinner.

I'm also doing laundry. For the first time in ~9 years. But I'd like clean underwear for the second half of the trip, too. :p

Line of disorganized cells with some decent VIL approaching from the east. AUS should not be effected, but I'd better go to check that nothing is left out or open.

Good morning Box. I am in our San Francisco office. Technology is against me today, so I have looged into work on my personal laptop with my aircard.

No Tesco near by? That's what I did during my last trip to EU
