Staying in BKK the whole time?
My DH likes to hit the road, and he's not keen on big cities, so we will sandwich a stay in BKK at both ends, and explore the National Parks to the north of BKK for most of the trip. I'm routing through TYO on the way home, with a one hour transit. It sure would be nice to make that a 23 hour stay. Any suggestions?
I'm pushing the bookings as hard as I can, with the SPG merger, the AA deval, etc. As Dan said yesterday, the opportunities are diminishing for earning points. I'm trying to get as many high value trips as I can on the books. It's hard to squeeze out more vacation time than I've already got booked. If it all fell apart tomorrow, I'd still be counting my blessings... miles and points have been very good to me.
So here are my tallies for:
