Seems like this has turned from a blog about me to a blog about travelling, which I guess isn't too much different.  It turns out the KLM vouchers are only good on NW, not Delta, and NW becomes Delta in November, so I need to use them up soon.  At the same time, we got a wedding invite from JP&Regina for August 1.  So, Kelly and I are flying to OKC that weekend.  It took a lot less miles to go with Delta for Kelly, so even though we have the same flights to OKC we have different ones on the way back.  Still, I'll take a weird arrangement for $10 over a normal one for $650.

It looks like our best option for Reno is to fly out of Nashville sometime in October.  Tentatively looking at October 9-11.

With all these trips, I looked into how much flying constitutes special status on NW Airlines.  Turns out I'm nowhere close: 25000 miles or 30 flight segments.  I think I'm at 13000ish and 11, respectively.  Even counting the OKC and Reno trips, and the Raleigh conference, I'd still be short.  The only other possibility is if I flew NW/Delta to the AGU conference, which might be a consideration if it's close at that point.  Since it's on an employer's travel budget I'd have to consider cost first, of course.

Separately from flying, we're going to a wedding in Louisville in mid-July... don't remember the weekend offhand.
