Still catching up on sleep at our hotel on the Big Island after a looong day yesterday. This is our most intensive couple of flying days since returning from Bangkok in January and taking off for Munich and Naples the next day.
Let's see... April 27-29
EQM* Bonus
4535 9070 MUC-ORD
1745 3490 ORD-LAX
954 1908 LAX-SEA
127* YVR-SEA (Air Canada-no UA bonus)
678 1356 SEA-SFO
2360 4720 SFO-KOA
*But I remembered after the miles posted that we earned the 500-mile minimum for that short YVR-SEA hop, adding another 373 to our EQM.
10,742 EQM + Bonus Miles = 20984 miles
No wonder we're noticing the 12-hour time difference between here and Germany.
*Elite Qualifying Miles=the actual miles flown calculated for status on UA
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
