Why did it take 7 days to get 10,000 miles? I’ve done that in 2 days (even getting 12,000 in 2 days domestically!). I just routed coast to coast and one one of the routings took a puddle jumper to get the 500 mile minimum and then a 2500 cross country flight, then did the same in return on the next flight back. That actually cost me about $350 daily which paid off with a good bonus at the time. Got to sleep (and shower) at home as well.
Though this doesn’t make for as good a story as published in your newsletter.

Re: Minneapolis. I had to overnight there once, after missing my connector and finding that my usual savior in such circumstances was not in town. The hustle and bustle was just like you described in Miami. So, being very familiar with the airport at the time, I headed for the observation deck that was actually dark as well as quiet. Despite a cleaner’s cart blocking the staircase, I went up. I knew no one would bother me, when I found the cleaner sound asleep across one set of chairs. I took the other, and they were very comfortable.

What interests me more than where you slept is, Where did you shower???
