Miles and miles

I just got a few thousand more miles added to my October travels.

Due to screwy airline pricing, round trips are hugely cheaper than one ways. So I'm doing a round trip from home to Sydney with a round trip from Sydney to Beijing in the middle of it. This reduced the fare by $5,000 from a more sane and simple point to point route.

My trip home at the end will be Beijing to Hong Kong to Sydney, lay over 6 hours. Then Sydney to San Francisco to home. From the time I lift off the ground in Beijing to wheels down at home will be almost 42 hours in transit. Ugh.

The total trip is nearly 30,000 miles.

The paperwork is in for approval now. We'll see.
