And police say that the husband wanted to photograph her having sex.

Does the husband work for National Geographic?

(Yeah, I've had tequila tonight.)

Not that I'm good at it, but I did better with brickbreaker using the scroll wheel than the trackball.:(

And I'm still carrying an 8700g with a scroll-wheel.

I agree and have stayed there myself. Westin and Marriott are also at the start of the runway and have shuttle services.

Thanks for the info. I'll check the rates and :rolleyes: accordingly.

I also really need to figure out which hotel program I want to take the loyalty lead going forward. This is an ongoing :rolleyes: with me that always leaves me mid-tier everywhere, which is not maximizing anything.

I'd do SPG but they just aren't in enough places I travel to. Although the current promotion is pretty good for stock-piling points for the honeymoon. :-:

I'm happy with Hyatt Diamond at the moment but there are indeed places I go where I have to go to a backup (Choice Gold, Hilton dirt, IC dirt, or SPG dirt).

I really like Hyatt's (am mid-tier there too) but they're even worse for coverage than SPG.

And their vacation properties to spend points are lacking.

The neighbor dog hath returned.

ARGH

I'm quite happy to redeem points at international Park Hyatts (like next Saturday).

Agreed Hyatt is awful(in coverage). that is why I am IHG member and plat in 2 more nights.
So far I've done it avoiding HI and HIE on point stays, only twice with hotwire..

I'm going to have to visit BoA tomorrow morning; more coins arrived today.

ConciergeMike Aug 28, 2009 7:56 pm

I'm holding off on coins until the 1st of the year - I want the spend on my HH AmEx to get me Gold. I'm too far from the spend target at this late time of the year. I might still do small orders on my Green card to boost the MR point balance.

icurhere2 Aug 28, 2009 7:59 pm

I'm back to the assumption the program might not exist at the beginning of the year (more than four months from now), so I'm focusing on hitting a bunch of spend caps this year. I don't order the same way much of FT does - one box of $2,500 at a time in case there's some problem - but am back above 7K in the living room.
