Anyone here ever went to Dry tortugas in Key West?


Not yet but it's been on my list for years.
Go and come back with a TR :)

Any ideas for Sunday Chol Hamoed getaway? Fly somewhere in the morning from NY and come back in the evening? Any location worth it especially with no-chametz/restaurant situation?

Oh, dang. And no. I don't mean Monday because I'm not off from work. I meant Sunday, but clearly I didn't mean Sunday. I keep getting confused with the first days' schedule and the 2nd days. Ok forget I said anything.

Where should I go in China for a weekend? Thursday night to Monday morning/afternoon.

Right now looking at Shenzhen, Guangzhou, or Shanghai.

Anyplace else I should look at? I have a Chinese visa so thats not the issue?

What do people think is the better option:


Or...



Is earning miles for making the charge and not using another 129,000 HH points worth it?

Depending on your points needs, I think that C&P is usually a better option

Seems like it may be close to a wash, but i would earn stay credits and not have to MS another 129k points which will also cost time and money...

Make sense?
