Hello from St. Petersburg (Florida, not Russia). I'm spending the next week here with my mom, and am having a great time. This morning I ran in my first-ever 10k (thanks to you guys for your generous donations and thoughts). OMG I still can't move. Bonus points to anyone who can guess my time. ;)
On the points & travel front, this week several hotel programs introduced new bonuses on purchased points and new promotions for stays, Etihad devalued Royal Air Maroc awards, XL Airways stopped selling tickets, Air Senegal announced they'd start flying to the US, and more.
