There is no reason to tell anyone anything about your bizarre travels. They will find out and ask you if they want to know. If they don't then when you tell them they will interpret it any bizarre way they want to and make you out to be something that you aren't. I cringe when friends and family that I have arranged something for try to sell the idea to others.

Thats funny last week I called the 1k res line. I had done my homework and had all the flights lined up in a certain order (no direct flights ) to maximize miles, (I)buckets all avail to UG etc. Agent had a problem with 1 of the legs, and after 10 mins of searching says " I can get you all the way through with swu's if you want to go to BKK" I'm going to SIN, She presumed I was doing a MR, I didnt want any "notes" on my acct so I said "why would I want to go to BKK?" Dont you know that thailand is under military coup and they just had bombs going off in the streets? Geez why not get me an UG to Bagdad so she laughs and the sez cant find anything. OK click, call back talk to sup and bingo my orig request is there and booked with swus plugged in and confirmed.

oh yeah I know, but surely many here have been in a situation where someone somewhere who you kinda sorta know enough to chat with about stuff asks, "Hey man, so what are YOU doing this weekend???" And you reply with something like, "Oh, nothing... just heading off to France and back on a really quick el-cheapo jaunt I conjured up from being a member of a miles and travel forum online just to get elite status on United Airlines so my wife and I can fly to Fiji next year completely for free and also treated as first class travelers and hotel customers the entire 2˝ week stay just like everyone in this crappy office wishes they could do but never really will... and you?"
