Airline/Hotel Loyalty Programs

Mrs. Diddley is not happy with flying coach over the pond, so I'm buying premium seats from now on. Next year we're headed back to London, and I used my SPG points to top of my Delta account to spring for a couple of business class seats.

If you're headed to Amsterdam, you need to look into Norwegian Air. Look at the pricing for both coach and premium. Not bad. That's probably what we'll take on our return trip from London. They have regular flights out of LAX, and biweekly flights out of LAS.

Wow. High maintenance wife.

i'm trying to decide what to do with 65k spg points and 80k chase ultimate rewards i've been saving up for a while. i would love to fly to amsterdam, drive to frankfurt, rent an m3 or 911 and spend a trackday at the nurburgring (nordschleife is only open on certain trackdays), drive the day after to spa in belgium for a trackday, and then spend a couple days in brussels.

I hope junkie stopped at the Garden of Eden on the drive home! I also hope he didn't get tricked into eating one of those awful Idaho Spud "candy" bars.

Take it back! Idaho Spud bars are yummy.

Agree on both counts.

Et tu, Brute?

That's it. Highlight of the trip for my kids.

Never even taken my kids there. I've only been there as a pit stop on Greenbelt bike rides.

Settler's Park in Meridian has a more substantial splash pad. Kleiner Park behind the Village also has some decent water features. But neither of those are right on the river.

Merrill Park? That is in Eagle.

My wife was at this fitness certification at the west Boise YMCA, so we went to a park over there. It was right near the river, has a splash pad, huge playground and it was in a really nice area, very close to Banbury golf course. Is that still Boise or is this considered Eagle?

Anyways it was a nice area. Also the historic district on Warm Springs had some awesome Victorian homes.

Like I said they have improved downtown a lot it has a very urban vibe to it.

The drive from Utah however is worse than I-80 west across Nevada.

Did you stay at Julia Davis Park, or did you venture to any of the other parks that comprise the "Ribbon of Jewels"?

I went to the Boise Zoo, the greenbelt, and then a park with my kids. We had a lot of time to kill.

I was down there, too. Sorry I missed you.

I was in Boise last weekend. Downtown is tiny but they have tried to give it his Urban feel. It's actually a cool city. Just very small.

No SPG hotels in Boise? I thought it was supposedly a city?
