Ok...

Here is a partial tally of my commercial air miles. On Delta and the former Northwest Airlines, I have circled the earth over 60 times. Obscene.

Gonna look at my United and American accounts later, but I don't fly them as much as Delta.

Last year alone, Delta circled me 7 times.

Yep... That is the circumference I used.

I have been Platinum on Delta ever since I can recall. And when they introduced the higher Diamond level, which is a minimum 125k miles per year, I have maintained this status since 2009. The diamond medallion tags for this year are made out of aluminum... You can hear everyone who is diamond level from a mile away because their bag tags clank :)

The even more obscene figure is my Marriott rewards account. Have stayed at a Marriott just over three years!! IOW, I have lost 3 years of my life staying at a Marriott.

:grin: :smile:

re nestle's quarantine, she will do 30 days, this is the shortest period, joe has did all the blood checks and vaccinations before this latest oz trip. back in my dog showing days bucket loads of breeders imported high quality show dogs and breeding dogs from UK and US into Oz.

Joe and I are now starting to figuring out small details like Nestle's her food, ie start a transition to the food that she will eat in oz and we organise that food to be at the centre for the duration of her stay.
and we are even starting to plan the road trip to pick nestle up in late August! this means going through the country areas where i was born and where my dad was born and grew up and is now buried

Ok Gabes, Nestle is ready to go... She keep facing Australia when she goes outside... Of course being on the opposite side of the planet, all directions lead to Australia equally :lol:

Ahh, I didn't scroll to the right. Did you know that I always have to scroll for your posts? I can't figure out why, other than you may have a wide screen. But most everyone does these days, so that doesn't make sense.

I've also wondered if you're selling your Explorer before the move. I bet there are some people on the board who would be interested in your second battery setup for cooking and refrigerating your food when on the road.

I probably make the photos too large which for some setups might require scrolling. The Explorer will be going to my son and my Sonata to my daughter. Gabes is helping figure out what to buy in Australia, which will be some type of 4x4
