And just done that too - back to MAN on February 22-26th - but deliberately chosen a weird route - only used 60K UA miles and 2 new airports, 2 new countries and a crazy route and 2 new airlines.

I'm commuting with an all-electric car now. My energy consumption is generally around 4 kWh/mile - the equivalent of over 100 MPG. I stay below 80 for range considerations. If I drive too fast it limits how far I can go on a charge.

Yeah, mine was 60k points per person for my wife and me. Four new airports for me and probably six new airports for my wife: SLC-ORD-BRU-VIE-IAS-VIE-MUC-SFO-SLC

We'll be staying in Iasi, Romania for about a week and Munich, Germany for about a day and a half. We were just going to go to Iasi, but the return trip was so long with long layovers no matter what, so we decided to just make a stopover in Munich.

If one was to read this discussion in its entirety without taking a break, you would need almost 1,650 hours to do so — assuming an average of spending one minute reading per content posted.
That is the equivalent of almost 69 days; or slightly greater than two months.
Of course, halve those figures if you only need 30 seconds each...

At Milepost #100 ,000 — to which I hope to be the one to post content — I intend to lock this discussion and launch a second one to continue...
BTW - we may hit 99000 by the end of this month - certainly by mid February at latest I would guess
