I think he knows that. Probably writing it off as something he can fill blog posts with and consider it a "business expense".

Wow.

[Marco Polo]

Crazy that the island seems so bust they can only offer him a date in 10 months.

Prob isn't, they're just giving hurricane season because they don't want to chance paying guests with that.

[Ergel]

So funny that everyone is commenting about the value he's getting from the points. The clicks that he has gotten/will get for this so outweigh any of that discussion

Seems like the worst 7 figure redemption ever.

I think he knows that. Probably writing it off as something he can fill blog posts with and consider it a "business expense".

You can tell from how reluctant he is to transfer his MR with the 30% bonus.

So funny that everyone is commenting about the value he's getting from the points. The clicks that he has gotten/will get for this so outweigh any of that discussion

He is not dumb.

[yakrot]

If he books for ten months from now he can talk about it till then

Plus another ten months of posts detailing every meal and activity.

I'll be the first one waiting to click on it. Though i can definitely appreciate how Dan does not drag out his trips reports with a million sections.

Island hopper anyone?

Does FM generally drag out his TRs? I can't recall reading any.

I think that is the only one, and it is only 4 parts. Add in the fact he was doing it with AJK, he gets a pass.

While FM may not do TR's, almost all the other bloggers have that fault of breaking it into way too many sections.

If a trip consists of many cities I am fine with it being separate for each city.

If someone flies around the world and stop in 10 countries and has what to say about each country I don't see why it can't be 10 parts.

When one city or trip to one place is 10 parts it is bloody annoying.

10? I've seen BOB reports that are 40.
