And I’m sure someone in the Deep Web has already written how to get to Vladivostok for 20,000 (now 22,500) AA miles.

How Far Can You Stretch Your AAdvantage Miles Value?

Happy New Year, everybody!

PS I don’t see what is so embarrassing about those Russia questions.

I thought it would be more about travel related stuff, eg. “What are the bathrooms like over there”?

Also, thank you to Oliver and DiffPaul and Buzz for commenting on my quest to have “authentic” experiences and to make connections when travelling. I post later in the day than when most people are here so I always appreciate it.

Very astute comment by Oliver about a hotel being a place you can stay in and poop your guts out should you catch a g.i. bug.

=============================
Eh, I’m going to just repost that comment I made here:

Hotel of future ā€” Bingo !!!

Reminds me of stays at Cabo Inn Hotel in Cabo and The Red Tree House in Mexico City. It was like staying with family. I didnā€™t find that in several BnBs in Europe, despite glowing reviews. Trying to make connections, meeting locals, having an ā€œauthenticā€ experience. Eg. How about a way to meet your counterparts in other countries, or people with similar educational levels, or not?

Iā€™ve realized often the only people I meet are hotel, shop, and restaurant workers, tour guides and taxi drivers.

My impression is that airbnb used to be about meeting and connecting with other people, but it seems just totally commercialized now.
