Should I sign up again and then merge accounts? ;)

While Im a transplant NY'er, the goal is to make enough money so that I can move to rural Texas or south Florida and retire.

I'd probably manage out in NJ between EWR and PHL, at least you can drive to a store and back home.

Thats why I moved here. So I dont have to rely on a car to get me everywhere. I now rely on trains and airplanes.:cool:

Morning, Box.

Happy Anniversary, bagfamily.

Happy Birthday, Brituchenite.

Fiancee is still sound asleep - she put a lot more effort into the party than I did.

We had to borrow tables out of her mother's basement for the party...during the day yesterday, the birthday Mom is cleaning the basement and notices them missing. She wants to call the cops, believing that the house has been robbed and ONLY the tables were taken. :eek: :D

Now off to my mother's house this afternoon since she is having people over and we get to do the same thing all over again without the birthday component.

Good morning from the SFO PClub.

A BD question for The Box...

If I reach 55k status miles, do I earn the 300% bonus for the rest of my current status year or for the next status year as well? I believe it is the current status year only, but I wanted to check.

Directions in Honolulu are based on local things: towards the water, towards the mountains and Diamond Head or Ewa Beach. No one understands North, South, East or West!

Kapahulu Ave is at the end of Waikiki, by Kapiolani Park/Diamond Head. If you like L & L Drive Inn you'll love Rainbow's Drive Inn.

It looks like a bit of a walk away from the beach but I might give it a try this afternoon. I just need to see if the bus will get me from there to the airport correctly.

Wow... that does sound good... and prices to HNL are great from ANC too- just need to find someone to split expenses with (room/vehicle)

No vehicle required for me. I take the bus from the airport ($2.25) and it drops me literally on the front door of my hotel. I only paid $90/night for the hotel. Not as cheap as last time, but not terrible and way less than the name brands were asking. There is also a hostel around the corner from here but I don't know the pricing. I might find out in February.

Me, too. I shudder at the thought of needing to own a car.

Current year only. As soon as your year resets you have 0 Level Miles so you are only earning those.

The "new cards have arrived" thread is nearly 24 hrs old, and no one has posted an image of the new card, after allusions to new design. Frustrating! What are we wallet candy voyeurs to do?
