I'm looking at probably 2013 at the earliest for making 1MM unless things change dramatically in my travel patterns.

I have 512K in my FlightMemory, but only 51 flights on CO or about 20%. My program miles is under 50K! :o

Sagami in Collingswood, NJ - you won't be disappointed!^

I'll keep that in mind - the spot I found in Deptford was closer (Oriental Express).

The reputation Sagami hasin Philadelphia (at least according to co-workers and people that have lived here a long time), is that people will cross the river (maybe even swim?) to head to Sagami. It is that good, and I agree. Let me know how Oriental Express is. I am in Deptford every so often. Tonight, I had Five Guys in Center City for dinner.

Oriental Express = ^^^

Warning: the spicy tuna isn't joking. There's no emoticon for the face I had after the first piece. My nose is running.

There is a Five Guys opening near me, just off the Expressway. Can't wait to try it.

I saw the other day that Five Guys is coming to Texas. First locations will be in Dallas (Galleria) and way out in Rosenburg.

Best sushi I've ever had in the US.

Definitely worth crossing the Delaware for.

I'll put it on my list of places to hit when I'm alone. Girlfriend is not as culinarily adventurous as I. I would take my opinion of sushi places with a grain of salt, as I'm not terribly experienced with tons of them so as to be an expert. I'm a sushi noob.

Since y'all are severely lacking in estrogen - I'm back. Mr BL just told me that he took somewhere between 6-12 flights before he had a OP #:eek:
I said words that have four letters. I am shocked I could marry someone like this. Shocked, I tell you!:o

LAX-EWR!!!!

Good luck there. I got nailed in Jasper County about five miles above the river on a run from CHS to SAV in a Hertz car with SC tags. Trooper was coming at me, had me on his radar, made a quick U-turn over the grassy median and I decided to do the pay up on the spot thing. It was a while ago so I don't know if they still do it that way. No "blind eye" there.

As far as the million-miler thing is concerned, I would think that I will be fairly close if they are really able to count the old EA flights. There was lots of paid first there for me during the 80s. Also, a I asked O'Leary, are they also going try to count NYAir? ;)

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

I'd wager that I'd be the lowest of the box. Flight memory says 51,644 for life*, but I have 13K booked for this year. :D

* all flight travel including what I can remember when I was a kid. All airlines, CO only would be a joke.

Oof. That's where 13K of my 15K is coming from. :( Oh well, such is life.

What about my EA flights before there was a program? I went to college in Atlanta so that was all I flew. I've been a Co member since 03 and have 640,000 +; not bad considering I took time off to have Baglady Jr. Mr. BL is about 100k less than me which he could have come close to making up for had he signed up OP before he made all those flights! Pity he didn't know me earlier. Poor BL JR - she's just over 100K.
