So as my radio show of choice, "Opie & Anthony" would say: "Is that 'Sucks to be You' or is it 'Unlucky Lottery'?

Nesting does sound fun. However, I've always wanted to see Idaho for some strange reason. I'd prefer to just pick one carrier and have a day or so in the mountains in fall.

On UA I've beein keeping my eye on a $750 IAH-ORD-ABQ Q-UP. Not great on its own, but I've got a $200 Cert. and have also always wanted to visit ABQ...

I haven't been to Idaho yet either. It's one of the few states I've got left to knock out.

So what's everyone's lifetime mileage total? Mine is 411,415. I'm ahead of where I thought I'd be!

ABQ is nice. But you should also drive up to Santa Fe as well. It's even nicer.

I said it in the MM thread: my total is probably embarrasingly low, around 80-100K. The tradeoff for the low total is that I'm family of industry and did a lot of non-rev companion. I'm adding about 7K this year, and I'll hopefully know exactly where I stand after Scott puts my preview access thru.

I haven't got my pony yet. Not authorized for preview.continental.com. I'll know for certain within the next 24 hours.

EDIT - Unrelated, but does anyone use the TripAdvisor Map Feature?

I wanna do Idaho solely to play at the Coeur d'Alene. Gorgeous resort golf course with a famous 14th hole...unlike the famed 17th at TPC Sawgrass, the CDA's 14th island green is really an island, as in you need to get on a boat to putt.

Oh well, at least my MSY-IAH flight just posted to CO.com. For the first time ever, my RDM balance has topped 500K.

Isn't that 500K your honeymoon RTW in J fund? How close are you to getting that done?

Congrats! I have yet to hit that milestone, as I usually end up redeeming a standard BusinessFirst award or two every time I top 400,000. But these days I'm trying to save up the RDMs as much as possible.

I must say that these empanadas they're serving at the Manager's Reception at the Embassy Suites in Lubbock tonight are quite tasty. And so is the free booze. ^

looks like I missed on the DEL J fare, oh well I didn't really have the cash for it.

440K is what it takes for two RTW J tix. So, 60K of that is gravy.

I got busy at work and didn't get a chance to check it out.
