After spending 10 days in Paris/the UK and five days in YVR after having kids I thought I had dodged the "I can't travel without my kids bug."
I was wrong

Booked: JFK-LAX (AA F), LAX-SFO (US J), SFO-HND (JAL F) 62.5k AA x2.
On hold:HND-ICN-JFK (KE F) 80k UR/Skypass x2 +8k for infant.

Trying KE again?

When you hitting up NRT?

ETA: What are you doing with the infant on the outbound?

Funny you say that. We're sitting in our room right now trying to figure out what to eat for dinner as the kids finally just went to sleep.
May have to hit Asian again.

Sent a cabbie to Asian to pick up a huge meal incl a bottle of wine for under $100.

Nice! AA F from where? Lhr? That is a rare find!

MR to AZ and booking rt dl tlv in j for just 80k compared to fb 125k is a phenomenal Deal!

Oh we still travel every month.
Just can't seem to leave the hemisphere...was rooting for ya though.

I actually have a CLE-JFK-ICN-PVG OZ F award for 70K UA booked for us, though the odds of flying on it are about nil unless my Talia decides to wean herself at her first birthday like Rafi did...

Have you had Ba Li and Maichel ice cream yet?
How's the dairy place in Recoleta?

What's your hebrew name? I'll start saying tehillim now

@Yehuda · « **Reply #51 on:** August 18, 2014, 09:11:58 AM »

Are you guys actually interested in Asia or you just want to try out the different airline products or try to get I as many places in the world as possible? (Which are fine goals IMO.) It's just that my wife and I have no interest in Asia, and now that we've done Europe, we don't see the desire to leave the US anymore other than maybe trying BOB, MLE and/or NPV, but if all we ever get to is HI that'll be more than fine.

What about Australia? Central America? South America?

And Europe is huge. You could go back and be amazed all over again.
The world is gigantic

Asia is more interesting than Europe and they don't hate us.
What's not to like?

AJK · « **Reply #54 on:** August 18, 2014, 09:29:42 AM »

Asia > Europe.

In regards to basically everything.

Honestly? No. These places just don't interest us.
We would do parts of Europe again as stops on the way to Israel.

Other than the Great Wall, we've never heard of anything famous there that we'd want to see. Europe is full of history we know, so we found it really interesting. The no hating Jews thing is nice, though

And $320 in YQ. The downside is that you can only book RT, and their call center is terrible. Cancellation policy is terrible as well.

How are you dealing with the call center? Only calling during their day?
What's the cancellation policy?

I just booked it now for the second time, the first time was back then when Dan told me about it. I call during the day, play HUCA and ask for supervisors.

No mileage refund

though day changes are free.
