That means I've now acquired top-tier status in four hotel programs this year. I still need a couple of Hilton stays to renew Diamond with them, and will have Starwood Platinum renewed after this week's Monday and Thursday night stays post. I renewed Marriott Platinum three weeks ago and every night I stay with them the rest of the year is rolling over to next year, so I'll hit 2010 with enough nights on the books already to get me halfway to Marriott Gold next year, even if I don't stay at all in 2010. Likewise, I'll have enough Starwood stays that count for both 2009 and 2010 for SPG Gold next year even if I don't stay at a single property of theirs next year.

I think I'm traveling entirely too much right now. Thanks to my crazy schedule and generous promotions, I'll end the year with top-tier status in four hotel programs and two frequent flier programs. No wonder I'm exhausted.

I plan on having a hublette dinner do after the holidays and, after this weekend, may be able to pull off a Vega$ mini-do as well. I need to check with my contact at the Mirage about his interest in a drunken group of aerogeeks swarming the place and shedding coin. ^^

There's nothing quite like a nice, quarter-inch-deep lake of bacon grease to get the maple-glazed link-sausage and eggs frying nicely. :-:

Good morning, Box.

Woke up this morning with a fever and wet hacking cough. Don't think it's Teh Flu, but in the interest of avoiding spreading it to my team, I'm taking a sick day.
