Going for Gold!

I made my own run for gold this week. For the past several years I have done a lot of travel on Alaska Airlines and have enjoyed their MVP Gold status. 2009 was a different sort of year and as my boss told it, "my wings were clipped". I had resigned myself to moving back to the rank and file of fliers, but knew Dan and I would miss the perks this gave us--first class upgrades, no baggage fees, no change fees, etc. Well, Alaska sent me an email a couple of weeks ago suggesting that if I had a certain number of segments (that is one take off and landing) by mid-March they would make me "golden" again. I spent last Friday flying up and down the west coast and got my gold back. That means we need to make the most of our travel opportunities this year, wahoo!
