General Discussion

I'm also one who prefers experiences over things.

For ten years I was an airline employee (1969-1979) and took full advantage of the travel benefits available to me. And the small airline I worked for had far and away the very best benefits. I go unlimited passes on my own airline, as well as on Eastern. One a year on every other carrier out there. Plus, I did shift work, so while I worked weekends and holidays, we could swap shifts with each other, so it was easy to get an extra day or three that way, and take off somewhere exciting.

These days I'm in a senior living facility, and I'm pushing very hard for us to do various experiences, such as taking the train from Santa Fe (where I live) to Lamy, about 20 miles south. There are actually several themed train rides on that route, and I think the margarita one would be my choice.
