In the first part I went over our trip there. Now onto what you really wanted, which is what we did when we got there! Of note, it rained almost continually for the four days we were there. First off, our room in the Best Western Mozart was in a good area, in the NW…
This is part 1 of a 3 part series on my Milan trip report; this will be on travel, the 2nd will be on what we did there, and the 3rd on where we ate! Also, at the end, I have a link for time-limited cheap tickets to Milan! My wife and I just got…
Well, it was my longest mileage run by far, but totally worth it. 21,515 EQM to re-qualify me again for 1K and 6 GPUs and 2 more RPUs into my account. Not to mention over 43,000 RDM to use in the future. This is why my mileage balance is so high, I earn them faster than I can…

Following up from yesterday, here is the first day of my wife and I’s adventure to earn 1K status again by traveling from BWI to SIN and back in a few days. Getting on the Super Shuttle at O’Dark Thirty (actually 0215) is not anyone’s idea of fun, but I had a 0625 UA flight awaiting…
When last we left our intrepid hero (me), I had just crossed a million lifetime miles with United. This not only gives me lifetime Gold, but also my lovely spouse as well. In fact, when we travel together she is equal in status to me – so currently she is a 1K! While Lifetime Gold…
