[QUOTE="heavenlyjane, post: 688002, member: 2226"] Wow. I am so not in the same place as any of you. We travel all the time and have huge buckets of credit and points but I am not yet at the point where I can just toss in extra points for more leg room or a fancier rooms. To me the of traveling is [U]to be in a place[/U]. I am thrilled when I get a complimentary upgrade, but I'd never pay extra for it. Flying economy is fine with me. I can tolerate a few hours in cramped quarters, as long as I can secure a window seat. I consider most of the action of interest is not inside the airplane but in the sky outside my window. Sleeping in an interior stateroom is also fine with me. I luxuriate in the deep darkness that an interior room brings - something my own bedroom at home cannot achieve. It's like sleeping in a sensory deprivation tank. I wouldn't take up this offer for a different reason: I dislike cruises and the whole see-a-city-in-less-than-a-day concept. We did a tour like that years ago and to this day, I cannot remember if the fabulous ruin pubs were in Krakow or Budapest. [/QUOTE]
