Wow! I did not realize that you had only been going for a week or less when I found your blog. Not sure which site lead me to yours but glad I found it. I mlesyf am more of an adventure traveler in that I would prefer not to stay in 5 star hotels. I would rather backpack the Great Wall in China while staying at simple accommodations or cycle along the canals in Belgium while spending my nights on a barge. If I can get there for almost nothing in coach, I do not mind spending a few dollars on the other end. So my only suggestion would be to keep it clean & simple. If I want to know how to get elite status or how to always get into first class I will read one of the other blogs. I really like the fact that you pointed out some of the pitfalls of the mileage run. Keep up the good work & great info and I will be here reading / using it.
