But if you could eat the food, were single, and had the time and miles, you couldn't see yourself doing the same?

No. There is a limit to the amount you can pig out and still have fun. The only excuse for planning such an unenjoyable trip is that he had no other choice.

I'm sure he could have gotten to SCL using a shorter routing had he so desired

Dan, did you ever do any of these awards back when they were priced this way?

FWIU, everything was fully booked 2 days before Christmas, so he needed the crazy booking just to get there.

Perhaps, but from the way he wrote it, it seems like he davka decided to do ATW just because.
Maybe we can see if any rishonim commented on this.

The "tuck job" seems a bit much. Though i may change my mind if i ever experience that.

It's really far out. I was just southeast of there on the isle of Skye. It was beautiful

Really enjoyed the challenge of this TR (not that I knew any of the answers), and 'preimroc' sounds like a stalker

He basically posted pix, and had ppl try to guess the details of his flight, destination, food, hotel, etc.

I knew the first answer easy.. Quick search on seatguru for flight number and airline.
The dude sounds like he had some spare time and good skills of deduction. He came across exactly like sherlock Holmes..

Feel the same way. Pretty neat idea.

@Drago have you come across any good (read destination focused and not product focused) TR's on Ireland?

Drago · « **Reply #74 on:** November 03, 2013, 06:35:50 AM »

Good first post. (Haven't read the rest yet).

Jeez, 59 part TR, although at least he flew enough to make it not seem like it's too much.
MMS would do 59 parts on a drive to McDonalds, w/ pix of his wife (?) holding a Big Mac.

That would need an additional 8 posts, so 67.

Seems like every day is something about her the SW card or her trip TR which is just pictures.
