flights!

so, a couple weeks ago i realized that my continental flights toward the end of the year wouldn't count toward delta/northwest frequent flyer elite status. this didn't bother me too much until i realized that i was 15 miles short of elite status this year.....15 miles! After thousands of miles and 2 additional continental flights that now don't count....crazy. i sent an e-mail to delta proclaiming my loyalty, but they shot me down.

so...i decided to book an extra ticket in order to get the miles. i fly enough that the extra mileage next year and the free baggage could pay off. i also found an old $60 voucher and used that to take the pain away. so, i'm going to be on the plan a lot the next couple weeks.

here is my itinerary:

Chicago----this Friday night through Sunday night to visit Merideth. yippee!!

Atlanta----next Saturday, the 19th...i'm flying out at 9:30 and i'll be back in houston around 3:20. obviously, this was the added flight.

Detroit---for Christmas, of course!

at the end of the year, i always calculate how much i spend on student loans, tithing and charitable donations, and flights. those are BY FAR my greatest expenses....actually, student loans blows everything out of the water!

the trip to atlanta at least allows me to read a good book all day!
