    Tix booked for MKK. Can't find a B&B though ... Hotel Molokai is a little
    pricy. Any suggestions for accommos, must-sees, etc.?

    Azerbaijan would be awesome. I've never met anyone who's gone

    I can't help you with accommodations because I was only there for the day, but I can insist you go to Papohaku Beach (sometimes called Three Mile Beach) on the west coast of the island. It's the best beach I've ever been to, in part because there's a good chance you'll be the only one there, or perhaps 1 of maybe 10 people. Here's a picture of me marveling at its massive expanse/beauty: Molokai.jpg

    You still going to the SIN Do?

    That's an awesome itinerary. As for MUC, sounds doable, though I can't do beer personally.

    I will be there from the 12th through the 19th. My brother is filming a movie over there for a few months. If you are there at the same time, let me know. It is always nice to meet another milepointer.

    A week from today, we leave for Thailand and will end it with three nights in Hong Kong. As you can imagine, we started planning this about a year ago and started the ticketing 11 months ago so it's hard to believe it's almost here. Trip includes Cathay Pacific First Class (!!!), Le Meridien Chiang Mai, the Asara Resort in Hua Hin, the Grand Hyatt in Bangkok and the Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong. We were holding tickets on Cathay in Business for the BKK to HKG leg but I got an email from ExpertFlyer that two seats had opened up in First Class on Thai for the new A380 for that flight. Only a bit under three hours but I jumped at it. Total out of pocket for all the flights and hotels (15 nights, all in suites) is just under $2800!!!

    February - Florida
    April - Scottsdale
    May - Palm Springs
    August - Rehoboth Beach Delaware with all the kids and grandkids (15 of us).

    Still figuring out what to do in the Fall. Should be one heck of a year!

    The Village is a waste IMO but Yellowknife and the Northern Lights was an awesome trip.

    It is a nice ride.

    Make sure to pre-order the special meal and leave time for a massage at the lounge prior to the flight.

    It wasn't a waste for me. I got to help make an igloo that I lived in for a weekend and saw the locals beach a whale they caught. I also saw polar bears very up close and narwhales as well as watching seal hunts.
