Well, as you know, am at work. But things are a bit shaky here recently...they just laid off 3 people last week. I was hoping to not have anything to worry about until late summer, but might come sooner.

And I was researching flights to Dubai. Quite expensive. Was trying to fly on points, but might only get to London or Frankfurt with those.

how about flying to JFK in NY and then catching the direct Emirates flight to Dubai?

I remember when I flew to Van, I flew Air Canada to London and then Emirates to Dubai...... bit of a mad dash at LHR, but it was ok in the end.

In order to use my points, I need to fly with airlines in the Star Alliance group (Air Canada, United, Lufthansa and others). I'll talk to a travel agent when I'm ready to book. They know the best way to get there.

And I might take advantage of one of the stopovers to visit friends in London or Germany.

No worries. Figured it wasn't directed at me. And I could see how it would get a bit tiresome. Will do my best to stay out of it all. Think of me as Switzerland...a neutral country.
