World travel

Never paid attention at all to my sky miles but recently my wife blew my mind when she told me she is getting close to million-miler status(875,000) with Delta. We guesstimated that she's probably at around 1-1.2 million including other airlines, which means I'm probably at around 1.2-1.5 million. Trying to wrap my head around it, had no idea.
You guys flying weekly pretty much then? Even the couple of years I worked in Germany I didn't hit million miles and I felt like I was doing nothing but flying across the ocean and around Europe. That's crazy!

My wife flies close to weekly, sometimes more than one trip in a week. I used to fly a lot for work throughout my 20's, 30's, 40's and grew up traveling quite a bit to Europe mostly but other locations too. We also travel a lot for vacations and workcations. And I work for Delta so have been traveling a ton over the last three years. In all that time I never even fathomed 1 million miles but I'm the type that never checks my mileage on a bike or motorcycle ride or anything so it surprised me.

Will that come with any rewards or percs?

Just million miler baggage tags and some Delta gifts. The number one guy for Delta has flown over 14 million miles. He must have a lot of Delta gifts.
 
Just did a bunch of trips. A few cool places but mostly highlighted by going back to China.

Next month I'm doing a big week long safari in Tanzania with friends flying in from a few countries. I'm pretty excited, although a few rowdy drinking friends are coming and expecting me to keep up. That could be trouble, I'm getting old. Plus I want to enjoy the views and experience more than partying this trip.

Oddly I bid on a trip not expecting to get but did. I'm going to Jordan next month as well. I never expected to go there. But after some research I'm looking forward to it! After going to Oman and it being much better than expected I have some hopes for this trip. I have always wanted to go to the dead sea and this is probably the only side place safe to visit. Plus Ammon has some pretty cool historical sites and I'm staying at some nice hotels.

How was the drunken safari?

I'm going next week! It should be fun. I have 6 friends flying to Ethiopia to meet up and travel to Tanzania together for a 5 day safari and then a few days on the beach in Zanzibar.

I just got back from Jordan yesterday, which was nicer than expected.
