This past Friday, before a PVT BoardingArea conference, I had the amazing privilege of flying with MJ from MJ on travel. As many readers know when I started in college I was going for my pilot’s license. I chose not to follow that but MJ did and flew for American Eagle way back when. What a fun time we had buzzing around Colorado Springs and I think you will see more about the day and some photos on his blog soon (and maybe a few photos here as well)!
But that brings up my question for today’s swag giveaway. What would you like to use points to do for the “first time ever”. I love love love to scuba dive. It had been a while since I “got wet” and Lisa & I had a stupid amount of fun last year in Grand Cayman on points that I mostly got from both of us EACH getting an INK BOLD and an INK PLUS card each last year.
So for today’s giveaway, all you need to do is tell me what you have always wanted to do and hope to use points to get that done? As always the rules are HERE and I will be picking the winners for the fun mix of travel stuff you see below! – René
EDIT: Due to tech issues winner will be picked Monday night this week!

One day a trip to South America on a Delta Private Jet to ride with the Gaucho’s!

I’d fly to Europe to ride the single passenger gravity powered roller coaster in the alpine village of Mieders, Austria. It’s a thrill ride for sure and to add to the excitement it doesn’t have brakes! Check out the video.

First Class on either Cathay or Singapore Air to Hong Kong! (then use the money i saved by using points to stay at the Peninsula!)

Tahiti.
I would love to use points to visit Geneva! In college, my roommate was from Geneva and told me about the boutiques near the water. I too would one day like to shop there, even if there was nothing for me to buy 🙂

I actually already did twice – using the Delta online auction I won a trip to Egypt by Tauck Tours in 2008, a wonderful first class experience. (And it was only 340,000 points). I also won the 2010 Habitat for Humanity trip to Chile to work with Delta employees restoring homes due to the earthquake earlier that year (for about the same number of points).
After these fantastic experiences, I have learned that the unplanned can be the best experiences of a lifetime!
