I've not been online for a few months - just had to focus on work and get some business done. Heading down to Panama with some old school fishing buddies, actually 12 of us all told his trip - should be interesting. Going to monger in Panama city for 2 days then fish for 4, then monger some more

Just playing around on United' site and it seems that I can go to SJO, PTY or LIM (Lima) for 17,500 miles each way non stop + about $5 to $20 in fees. That's a deal and a a half, I'm been pounding my United card starting using vs checks with my big suppliers that don't care about the fees they lose anyhoe I'd like to finally do a 100% mongering/relaxation trip in the near future, as these rates are for off season.

If anyone is like minded throw out some destinations and dates

I was looking at a flight in October on Delta using the reward miles.

35,000 + $50 fees/taxes. I know its the green season but still is pretty cheap.

researching a monger trip to europe

using AA miles

crazy, if flights go through london you use miles AND over $600 in cash

at least that's what i'm seeing

don't see the benefit - i think it is due to british airways and/or british taxes and fees


???
