Hopefully the airline miles will offer an occasional break in exotic places.

But, I do recall that eating out all the time gets old not to mention puts on pounds.

December 7, I'm flying to Sydney, Australia on miles. I haven't booked my flight home yet (also hopefully on miles.) That'll be sometime in January, from somewhere in New Zealand.

ATTENTION STATIC AND MEERKAT!!! Dec 19-25, I'll be in Melbourne. Dec 25-Jan 1, I'll be in Sydney. Let's like...Meet up and stuff.

RE: putting on weight...I'd actually lost 60 pounds since starting traveling. Mostly about watching the amount of intake. Since hitting bottom, 20 pounds have come back, but I'm still managing, and still healthy. :)
