Yesterday I planned…

…literally the craziest trip I’ll ever take. And I’m the guy that has done six transpacific flights in five days. It’s actually for travel very soon (I won’t name a timeframe), though I’m trying to figure out how I can “reveal” this one since there are just a few complications.

This might be my first “secret” in progress trip report. Perhaps I’ll post a different mystery photo every day and see if y’all can figure out where I am?

I promise this will all make sense eventually, so don’t ask too many questions just yet. 😀

Anything with the Singapore Airlines Airbus 380 that started serving LAX?

For the craziest travel blogger to call his own plans crazy is really saying something! Looking forward to the grand reveal! :)

Will be interesting to read your upcoming trip reports, interesting reply on how you came up with your Flyertalk handle. You know if you fly somewhere and don't tell anyone where you are going, how are you able to plan any meet ups, unless you happen to be in the same city/lounge.

@ rich -- Hah, surprisingly you're correct, my name has nothing to do with the dollar coin program. My dog's name is "Lucky," which is where that part comes from. Back when I was younger I used to sell coins on Ebay (proof sets, specifically), which I could make a decent margin on, surprisingly. I wanted the name "LuckyCoins," but that was taken, so Ebay suggested "Lucky9876Coins." When I registered for FlyerTalk I went with that by default, not knowing that the website would become my obsession (or I would have probably used another name).

@as219, Thanks for the link. I was browsing through some of the comments and someone named "Gary0101" made some helpful suggestions and lucky thanked him for joining FT. Then Gary0101 never made a subsequent post. Lucky, if you are reading this, how did you decide on your FT name? I naively assume it was related to the $1 mint coins but apparently had it long before that was around. Thanks.
