It was almost like admitting to one's significant other that you've had an affair with someone else.

I reminded her I ended up the year with just shy of 90 nights in Marriott properties (although 20 or so of those are bonus night credits, so I only stayed about 80), and that I had top tier status in four programs. She just told me that she didn't care about other cities, but when in Baton Rouge, I needed to stay in her Marriott. And then she comped me my two glasses of wine that night.

The HGI LAX / El Segundo became my home-away-from-home when it originally opened, given I got free breakfast and pantry credit upon check-in. Seems like a lifetime ago.

They offer you something pretty similar to girls on check-in there. Once you get past the red eyes and scales, it's supposed to be kind-of okay. :-:

Sure! Plus1 just finished Up in the Air (I did a few days prior). It was sent to us by FT Lurker. Anyone not read it that wants to?

All those who have hotels booked for Saturday night will be getting points for unused rooms, as most of Teh Box will be passed out in various locations around Casa de Bag. Sunday morning at the house will look like Jonestown, the morning after. :D

It's difficult when you build that relationship. I've been staying at the MR for over 15 years. My old relationship was getting stale (not the concierge, the hotel) and boring, so I started seeking out greener pastures. I know exactly what you are saying!!!
