When it comes to baseball and hockey I know absolutely nothing about them. I just never developed the interest in these two sports. Going to squeeze my butt to sit in a frozen stadium to watch two teams skating around with a tiny puck…well, I could think of many things to do before I do such a thing 🙂

I have gotten the same message too. CK totally blew me off, I mean, not even the courtesy of a return phone call or message. I have heard both positives and negatives about these companies. And negatives outweigh the positives…

Hey Louis R., met you once in Chicago at a conference…your hand never left a drink, sometimes you had drinks in both hands 🙂

Been to Vegas several times and only once I gambled some spare change I had one night, think it was 45 cents or something. Lost it all and it still bothers me 🙂 I am just not into gambling at all!

All 5 nights were BRG’s, Wow, that is just awesome!

That mistake far was epic and it was gone in a flash. I wish I had taken advantage of it but I am not going to let it bother me at all.

Currently blogging from the lobby at the Hyatt in Thessaloniki, Greece. A gem of a property in a sea of chaos around it.

Breakfast was included. Staying here 2 nights at 12k points per night. Had a nice time with Boarding Area blogger Running with Miles last night talking about this “unique” hobby, life in general, the state of Greece and on and on.

I think I will go see the Wolf of Wall Street tonight at a mall nearby…

We had great fun in Vegas – gambled $3.00 and lost $2.45! But playing the old one-armed bandits was great fun for an hour. I specifically searched out the old machines. I had never been to Vegas and it is a trip, for sure. We did not stay on the strip (thank god!) and really had a great stay at the new Downtown Grand. All five nights at the Grand were BRGs. We even got an upgraded room and the resort fees were waived. The hotel cost us just $104. We did of course wander the strip to take in all the excess.

We LOVED the Valley of Fire, a state park which has the most incredible rock formations. Ditto for Red Rock Canyon. Saw the Jersey Boys, got to know Bugsy and his boys at the Mob Museum, did a night tour of the Neon Graveyard, gawked at the gamblers and mega-hotels, and totally enjoyed the gorgeous, sunny days. We will for sure go back. But Vegas did not make any money on us!

While I feel bad to have missed the mistake fare, travel is what this hobby is about and better to be traveling than trolling FT and Twitter for mistake fares, right?

Happy New Year!

Back in time for the Winter Classic?

Maybe your colleagues should look at the Turkish stock market.

Please don’t forget me next time! 🙂

I saw it way too late. I am not online much these days in Greece. It is my last night in my hometown. I have two nights at the Thessaloniki Hyatt next and then I am on my way back to the US (flying Aegean and Lufthansa on Business class via Munich and Chicago). I saw some of the “scores” and loved it, happy for you all! Could not have happened to another airline that thoroughly deserved it than Delta!
