Nadia and me will be taking of to Austin/San Antonio tomorrow. As you might imagine a lot of planning has gone into this trip. We have mainly relied on a combination of Kayak and airline/hotel websites to get the best deal. Nadia still had a free hotel night certificate from a previous promotion with Starwood. Thus, we will be staying one night for free in San Antonio.
Otherwise, this fall we are actually paying for most of our trips in order to stock up enough points/miles for next years trips to Europe, Bahamas??? NYC??? - all this is still in the planning stages but the sooner one can start collecting miles, the better! :)
