I am way behind in processing everything. It’s one of those “I am having too much fun to hold still and blog about it” moments… Okay, it’s been months. But hey. However, since I am an (AA) mileage hound, I did produce a new mileage map…
I am trying to get a picture gallery going but I don’t like any of the Word Press plug-ins so far (and I only tested a few). So, soon as I find one that works for me, I’ll post pictures of my adventures…
ADDENDUM… I hate RJs (Regional Jets). I especially hate ATRs. They suck. It’s an unbalance airplane – and the pilots need to be well trained to fly those flying rocks. Well, the Caribbean is full of the ATRs. The pilots hate them. The flight attendants hate them. So, I decided to skip all the ATR routes (and the RJ routes, because I hate puddle jumpers across the board). The map only shows where “mainline” (i.e. big) AA planes go.
The hotel notations on the map are for the hotels I stay at (i.e. crank up hotel points), which are: Hilton, Marriott and Holiday Inn. (Plus Hyatt, if nothing else is available…)
All I can say is why do the people who are placed in office always cower to the cries of the least informed, highly reactionary and absolutely brainless people?
More people die everyday from driving cars than one full plane crashing every single day. Stop this idiotic airport charade! It’s only stopping drunken Joe-Bob from carrying on his six-shooter. Any serious threat cannot be averted (and all security measures in place would not have stopped any of the attackers because they ALL circumvented the security line anyway!) All I can say is: “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Will the sheep just please shut up.
This is 100% a complete waste of money, 100% of your time, and takes your privacy and stores your image onto government computers permanently. So why are their laws against public nudity? It’s illegal if you decide to go naked because the authorities don’t want others to see your naked body but it’s legal for the authorities to take a complete 360 degree picture of you naked and store it in their database? Really? Well, then I think all all laws on public nudity should be repealed, right now.
And, here is the article being referenced: CNN article
Okay, I am fully nomad! I sold my condo and I sold my car. I only have my briefcase with my laptop , a carry-on and a “check-in”…
So I made MIA (Miami Airport) my home airport and I am still working in DC. Sooooooo, I am excited but still in the figure-out-all-of-the-logistics mode.
Plus finances. Looks good on paper but in practice, well…. We’ll see!
Okay, so I needed mileage on American Airlines so I went to London. Then, I thought I ought to do something. SO I stayed a few days, met a bunch of people and had fun
And took the EuroStar throught the chunel to Paris and did a quick one day tour of Paris…
Okay, if you are a mileage hound and you are short of miles to get to the next level, it’s always good to have a map of the routes your carrier. In my case, it’s AA (American Airlines). So, made a map – not comprehensive – just enough information to max out miles.
The art of the “Mileage run” is to get the most miles possible paying the least possible. I (and so can you) spend an inordinate amount of time to get the most convoluted routing possible. So here is my current map… (Click to enlarge.) Please note, the miles on the map is approximate. It will vary plus or minus 15 miles depending on your air carrier of choice…
So why am I going stark raving nomad? Well, here is a scene from the upcoming movie (Dec 4, 2009 release) that shows what I like, miles, points, cards…
“The cost of the new government Health Care Plan,
one trillion dollars.”
“Illegal immigrants, zero dollars.”
Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina
being caught on camera at the precise moment
he blurted out:
“You lie!”
Priceless…
What is wrong with South Carolina?
A rabid Congressman, Joe Wilson, shouts at the President during a televised speech? Are we back in the first grade?
This on the heels of Governor Mark Sanford?!!?
(Sanford is still having an affair while in office and using state funds to travel to his mistress – numerous times. And he won’t resign? And the State legislature won’t kick him out? Nor bring him up on charges of misappropriation of state funds???)
Tamiflu-resistant swine flu just started circulating. That means the flu vaccine WILL NOT WORK for the mutated strain(s). So if you get sick, stay home!
