I was just planning out my travel calendar for the next few months and I am pretty darn busy. I have been traveling a lot this year, mostly to NYC, but the next few months have me all over the map.

• Seattle
• Cleveland (I am really going to Geneva, OH)
• New York City
• Austin
• San Francisco
• Napa

I am really looking forward to getting out to the West Coast. It feels like it has been forever since I have been out there. Maybe I will actually make it to Platinum status on American Airlines by the end of the year!

After spending almost 9 hours in the Las Vegas airport last weekend, I was pretty pissed. I went standby on a flight to get out the city earlier and home to get some sleep. The plane I flew standby on had mechanical issues. Something about a malfunctioning alarm. 

They kept pushing back the flight, so I called my travel agent and she rebooked me on the next available flight…which was 6:15pm the next day! Talk about unhappy. American Airlines finally found another plane to fly everyone back to Dallas. The bad news was that it left at 9:30pm, landing in Dallas at 2am. I know shit happens so I didn’t complain to American Airlines. I just rolled with the punches.

Today, I got a surprise in my inbox. American Airlines gave me 5,000 miles on my account! Kudos to them.
