I'd love to hear details.

As it turns out, we're going to grab drinks next time he's back in NYC. Never hurts to keep connections like that, especially so because he's such a nice guy.

If buying up to OWB is not in the budget, using HH points, Conrad Maldives or Hilton Seychelles?

Perhaps, but I guess I just don't see the point of BOB/MLE by yourself.
At least in LIH you can do tons of activities or something crazy like hiking and camping along the stunning Kalalau Trail which you will likely never find a woman to do with you.

But an OWB by yourself?

Gotta agree. Too secluded for a solo trip. Would def save for the "glory days" :D

They read like suspense novels, I only with the author would write them for other cities in the world.

I'd be more jealous of someone doing the entire Kalalau trail than just about anything right now besides going to outer space.
