That's really bizarre - like you, as soon as I get in the shower, I start thinking about airline miles, hotel points, and award travel. I'm not sure why it happens.

Also, despite the fact that I travel only a half-dozen times a year, I constantly dream of airports and flying, and earning miles. I think I spend too much time on this forum before I go to bed.

we took a trip last week and left a backpack with bananas, sandwiches and snacks on the plane. It took til just now to get it back for reasons hard to explain right now.

my wife is returning from a business trip and just called saying she is on her way home with the back pack and has all the windows down cuz it stinks!

Now all I can think of when I think of flying is that pack

fuzzy bananas and moldy sandwiches.
Not leggy flight attendants in first class and the miles that can be earned each day!

lol

I like the smell of fresh new credit cards and the feel of the plastic against my skin.

Haha you guys are killing me. I was laughing pretty hard when I was reading this thread. It is so funny because while I am not as addicted as some of you are, I understand 100% what you are saying. This is mostly because I do have pretty big desire to collect miles and know exactly how your brains are thinking.

@MM Now that coins thread is closed where do you post your daily stories?

I am very sure about why it happens: because when I step into the crappy shower at home, I immediately start reminiscing about the luxurious bathroom at the Frankfurt First Class Terminal, into which I got by flying F on miles,...

I wasn't so bad until I had to travel for business and classes about two years ago, then I started collecting miles like everyone else is here. The only thing is that I don't think I'm even at a tenth of some of the best people here but I'll get there soon

I don't dream about miles per se but I sure do about trips - ones I've taken, ones I'd like to take, and just random trips. Many dreams about being on various airliners, even some bizarre ones with old, long-retired aircraft.

I just returned to the library the latest stack of guidebooks, trying to narrow down where to go next!

I keep thinking about trying coins but am just not sure I have the time or patience to drag them all over town, find out which branch will give me the least hassle, etc. Most weekdays I barely have any time after work for the things I have to get done as it is - much less to maintain a coins hobby! I know it's lucrative but I'm still on the fence.
