Ergel when will you be in HKT, I will be there Aug 11 for 10 days at the LMKL
August 12 for a couple of days but I think I'll be staying on phi phi.
I'm thinking about trying to get a speedboat to phi phi on the 12th and do some scuba diving. (Haven't worked on it yet but trying to figure out how to do economically, would you be interested in trying to split?)

I did a Speedboat to phi phi for a day trip this year with my family. Paid about 700 USD for a private 35 pax speedboat for the entire day, so I doubt i will do phi phi again

In other breaking news the manager of the LMKL just confirmed to me, that they will stay a starwood for at least another year. Owner and spg agreed

I am traveling with 5 kids, so diving is not a priority. I did snorkeling, was nice, but I am spoiled through the maldives, so Phi phi doesnt really do it for me

There isn't an F class in the world worth flying 24 hours with a baby in.

Rafi weaned himself at exactly one year.  That means I'm probably sticking to the western hemisphere until after next sukkos.

What about two babies in F? At the 2 year mark, do the babies go with, or is that when you start leaving them at Camp Bubby?

Looks like it's gone anyways (unless it's just not showing on ua.com now)
Current YYZ-MUC-FRA-BKK-HKT
Proposed-YYZ-JFK-ICN-HKT (allows me to drop off kids in JFK, and possibly move yyz-jfk to before the weekend)

Relative question-Leave JFK at 1 PM arrive ICN at 4 PM leave ICN at 8 PM and arrive at 1 AM in HKT
Changed to YYZ-JFK-ICN-HKT
didn't get charged a change fee as they totally messed up my itinerary (see here) and I now have free redeposit on this award. Still stinks.
Get into HKT after midnight monday night/tuesday morning and leave 7 PM Thursday evening. Have to decide what to do/where to stay, etc.

Stupid UA computer decided to eat 90K pp instead of 70K for JFK-ICN-PVG in OZ F/OZ J.
Unbelievable. ICN and PVG are both in North Asia you idiots.
Added CLE to the beginning (wasnt available before) and it repriced at 70K and gave me a 20K refund.
Bizarre.
