Just putting it out there, here's what I have completed, booked, and thinking of for 2015. Its not crazy as in J or F but in other ways.

Completed:
(2014) 12/28-12/31 ORD-PVG-HKG // HKG-ORD (Paid)(Y the way there, J the way back)
(2015) 1/07-1/11 ORD-PSP // PSP-ORD (Award)(Stopover in LAX)
1/19-1/20 ORD-CLE // CLE-ORD (Award)

Planned:
1/22-1/25 ORD-LAX // LAX-ORD (Award)
2/12-2/15 ORD-YYZ-TLV // TLV-YYZ-ORD (Award)
2/19-2/22 ORD-LGA // LGA-ORD (Paid)
3/16-3/22 ORD-BKK // BKK-ORD (Paid)
5/05-5/12 ORD-HKG // HKG-ORD (Paid)(Unlikely to stay in HKG, going someplace else)
6/14-TBD ORD-CDG // Return still to be determined

Perspective:
3/03-3/8 ORD-TLV // TLV-ORD (for purim, unlikely though)
End of the year trip - ORD-ASIA-AUSTRALIA-ORD (Still in the thought phrase)

So do I have an addiction problem?

Ding Ding Ding.. I need to do laundry every now and then. Along with cleaners, shaving, etc. Its cheaper to stop at home and do laundry, cleaners, etc then to pay those hotel prices

I have no clue which blogger that is. But I have a home.

Chuck, is this your thread yet?

I generally like to be overseas for 8 months out of the year, a week to a month in each country which brings me to a 20-25 country average per year.

Leaving to Israel in a week IYH.

Will have to cancel my Feb Africa trip (which takes 10 countries off my list) but I hope to do central and South America for pesach and summer.

It was looking like that but had no intent.

Right now my next trip is for 2/8 but would like something before that.

This year its been away in Jan for 6 days, Feb is going to be 4 days, in March 8 days.. June probably another 7-8 days but that hasnt been booked yet. I like home & I like travel. Trying to keep it balanced

Just got home from my trip to Israel for less than 36 hour. Actually worked out pretty great. Flew LY economy. Would do it again anytime (in economy).

Leaving Thursday morning to NY for the weekend. And maybe throwing in another trip to Israel for Purim. Only issue is I have too many days home now until Thursday.

Don't have LY Plat anymore, have LY Gold. but I had the bulkhead. Was OK. Footrest in my thought was worthless and just took up valuable foot space. I ended up putting it in the overhead bin.

Probably will be on of my last times flying LY in a long time.

when you say that some are "paid" trips, is that paid with cash/cc or with points?

No. Just bc I used El Al points and don't have any more of those, and cant redeem AA points anymore so would probably be one of my last times flying with them for a whole
