Forfeited Air Miles

I got an email from US Airways telling me unless I fly one segment by September with them or sign up and get a US Airways credit I am going to forfeit almost 19K air miles.
Super bummer. It may actually be worth it to fly one way from Dulles to Norfolk one weekend while I'm in country as 19K probably won't earn a free ticket but possibly a upgrade.

I'm also getting close to losing my miles on Delta, although not as much

Buen Jura de la Constitución

Woo Hoo, another local holiday and short work week. But alas I am
scurrying around packing my bag. Which brings me to another story. My
old faithful green "Jeep" brand luggage. I bought it at Value City
years ago, it's olive green and rugged. The nice thing about it's color
is I never mistake it for anyone else's. It's also very rugged and has
been seam popping stuffed and tagged with a "Heavy" label so many times
I can't count. Well last night I grabbed the larger piece and weighed
it, nearly 18 pounds, not a good thing these days. Might have to trade
her in on a big rolling duffel bag :-P .
