I needed to hit a mileage requirement in order to keep my Gold status, so I took a look at a map and a mileage calculator and narrowed down a few destinations that met the requirements. In the end it came down between South Africa and Colombia. Colombia won out by a hair. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little nervous given Colombia’s stigma as a dangerous place, but before I knew it I was out roaming the streets with little concern for safety, even in this giant city.
Time was running out for me to get my status match with Delta so I needed to book a flight with enough airline miles to push me over the hump to get my Gold status. So, I took a roundabout way to get from Atlanta to Colombia via NYC, with just enough time to swing by Katz’s Deli for a corned beef sandwich. Totally worth the extra flying time and status!
Beaches, Bocce & Burgers. That’s your three basic needs in Boca Raton. Just stopping through here en route to Colombia baby! Finally!
This post was brought to you be the letter B.
The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born and raised here in Atlanta, GA. And it is here were he started his epic journey of changing the world for the better. Not since Jefferson declared America’s independence from England has one man had such a profund impact on society as a whole. Where would we be today without Dr. King? I’m glad I’ll never know the answer to that question.
I must have passed through this Delta hub a dozen times, but never set foot outside the airport. well, that all changed today.
