Somebody just e-mailed us to ask how many lifetime EQMs we'll have on UA after our flights to HNL. These are flights solely on UA "metal," i.e. United planes. It does not include flights on Star Alliance partners such as Air Canada and Lufthansa - in other words, we've already flown more than a million airline miles from 2001 onward, but only the UA miles count toward lifetime Premier Executive status.
Our total EQMs next Monday, January 24, will be:
Brian = 933,611
Kathy = 937,783.
Among our already scheduled flights to Italy at the end of January, South America in March and Australia in May, we've just about scheduled our millionth flight mile already.
It's really fortunate we're not at all obsessed with it.
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.
