Yeah, the "gay stuff" was absolutely hysterical, I mean aren't all ad hominem attacks just hilarious? ::)

Again, at least as to moish, my point stands:

So let me get this straight --

His trip reports are, in your opinion, an "absolute snorefest" among other glorious platitudes, yet you still not only read them, but read the comments to them with enough concentration and effort know what certain commentators say?

I'll mention nothing of the fact that you seem to be admitting that the best part of his TRs are the certain comments which are nothing but disgusting, hate-filled venom.

Again, at least as to moish, my point stands:

it seems my previous comment to you wasnt fully understood.

my comment "absolute snorefest" was referring to the lounge posts. those, i do not read

however, the airline posts, the hotel ones, and the occasional city report i used to read. at a certain point it felt as though i was reading the same thing over and over again. from that point further, i just skim through the pics.

hope i cleared it up for you

In my experience, nothing gets close

People might make a big deal about the prices, but staying at some of the worlds nicest resorts for the equivalent of 40k SPG a night is not a bad deal

I'm looking into a trip to Bali and Boracay at the end of the year. I may have to splurge.

He's been to 3 of the Aman's in India as well. This was a few years back.
Chk out the posts. Stunning pix and locations.

Wow, that review is glowing.

Join us in the Bali thread. I'll be there mid-December with the family for 5 days, and have still not decided where to stay.
But I just booked HKT - DPS OW for $190 on Malaysia Airlines.

Why not? He's on the road so much anyhow.
Plus, e/t can now be a biz expense.

Did you see his reports for the hotels in Phoenix during the summer time? You can get a food and beverage voucher worth the same as the room cost, and that doesn't even include all the other bennies.
