Hey, thanks for this. So this appears to just tell you what the best deal is for using rewards at the current time? I see SW isn't listed, but that's prob normal. Currently have companion pass so still using them when I can.

Cincy pro tips? I haven't been there in like a decade. If you tell me to eat the chili or their dry ass rib place I'll disown you.

Of course! It's pretty great. I've even met Jungle Jim himself because he was pals with my former employer.

On a real note, there are tons of murals downtown and people do guided and self guided walking tours of them. Mix in some other sightseeing and stops for drinks along the way and you've got some legit tourist fun.

Headed to the big island (Waikoloa Beach) on Sunday morning with the fam. Tropical depression in the Central Pacific Basin for the first time in 5 years, headed toward the big island projected to impact Sat\Sun. Hurricane Gilma right behind that, and another tropical system right behind that. How good is that for timing?!

Recap Cincy is great. Food was pretty average though. Sotto was billed as best of the best but found it pretty mid. Avoided the chili. Goetta was better than the kansas version of similar ingredients ( prittles?)Will return for a future kstate away game

That I did. It was enjoyable and liked the feel of the neighborhood, felt like kc river market. I didn't run into a lot of bars or restaurants but maybe wasn't in quite the right spot. Was around Findlay market.
