The Two-Stop Pacific Hop: Bora Bora & Melbourne (A Mrs. AJK Special)

[jshelton]

your trip looks amazing. I want to go here one day. Why did you decide Bora Bora over Moorea? Both have IHG properties

While I know Moorea does have some die-hard fans, to me, from my review, there was no contest which is prettier.

[jshelton]

Ya I'm not sure where I would pick, seems like a difficult decision, but as I mentioned before, your pictures are stunning and making me want to book ASAP.

how did you book the thalasso when they don't have the ability to book with points ? the calendar is blocked for the whole year.

Availability opens up at end of schedule and close-in.

[rediplus]

can i ask how many points per night ?

[AJK]

You can ask. It's also publicly available

50,000/night in OWB.

[Buruch]

When do additional nights open up - i.e. calendar expansion, and not cancellations or last-minute unsold rooms? PM is ok

it is my opinion that the god's of chase, amex,  and citi and the lesser ones of which us mere mortals simply do not know have truly smiled upon some humans on this plane of existence called earth or DDF to be able to attain the unattainable. such feats as new zealand,  maldives, bora bora, and other unknown or unwritten trips that will only exist for us in our dreams.

dont think like that. While I myself have not (yet) done any out of these out of the world trips you mention it is heresy not to believe its obtainable for all

Oh come now!  AKL, MLE, BOB and more are all available to you and all those who are sufficiently inquisitive, organized, disciplined, and ambitious.

Just a few short years ago, I embarked on this journey with a prayer and a BA 100K offer. Oh, and I asked which hotel was best for the wedding night. Oiy.

My point, you can do it if I could do it. There is nothing special about me. And I can assure you, Chase, AmEx, and Citi would agree with me on that last part

I thought it was un-ajk-like to not post the equivalent links to your comments and am happy to see you having corrected that.

[AJK]

Not sure I follow.

Being un-ajk-like to not post equals ajk-like to post, so "I thought it was AJK-like to post the equivalent links to your comments and am happy..."

Nope, still don't get it

[3yummyboys]

It think side conversations should be banned in these threads until the TR is finished

[Hershelsdeals]

It think AJK should be banned until the TR is finished

FTFY

[AJK]

FTFY

 

People in glass houses... should not throw stones.

Your entire TR of BOB consisted of about 8 lines.

[CS91]

THAT exactly. 3 years ago I thought I'd never be able to do it. This year, I'll be doing this (just under 50,000 miles):

Point is, anyone can. Start off slow and before you know it, you'll be shocked at how much you've learned.

So your the one that started the jacuzzi thread!

BTW Pls tell the Mrs., every time I see you posting here I'm thinking theirs a new segment, and then.......

+100. I also started less than a year ago.  I don't do any manufactured spend (although we do have biz expenses) but thanks to the knowledge of how to book flights from DDF and some new credit cards to maximize our points way better we are going to MLE in a few months.

Which BTW, on another note, when Mrs. AJK continues is she going to tell us which she liked better, MLE or BOB?
