Trip to Moorea Island, Tahiti/French Polynesia 2004
Yeah, 2004!Daraius & Emily were in High School:-)
Yesterday, in my totally uninformed, increasingly irrelevant and sometimes humble opinion, was one of the slowest days in the miles/points blogosphere! Therefore, I am taking the opportunity to go over my notes from Frequent Traveler University FTU in Los Angeles last weekend and will post over the weekend. Please wait for the incendiary commentary;-)
We have an outstanding crystal ball when it comes to this travel & miles/points world! We predicted Delta will buy Northwest at least three years before anyone even thought about it. Over a year ago we predicted that US Air and American Airlines will merge. I believe the great Gary Leff said no way at the time. Now he is coming around we see. We call this at TBB #winning!

Hmm, kind of scary. I just can not see how the present practice of selling these and loading them on prepaid cards can last…Time will tell as always.
Frequent Flyer University writes about the Clusterf %&# that is United.
Wow, just wow! How can crap like this happen? Delta will never do crap like this!

I was reading the Wall Street Journal today and in the first page there was an article about marijuana legalization in the State of Washington. I was surprised to read that Rick Steves, the Seattle-based travel writer, was a co-sponsor of the pot measure!
