Intro

My recent Eurotrip was a wild ride.

Like many of you, I’m points rich so was able to book my hotel last minute, but didn’t have as many options as I would have liked.

I’ll recap the good, the bad, and the ugly as well as my thoughts on where we stand as a community as we approach year end.

I’ll discuss my thoughts on this year as well as my strategy for next year.

Let’s dive in!

Note: The pictures below aren’t mine. Most of the pics I took included me, my wife, and my children, so I found photos of the places I went to that look more professional and paint a clearer picture of my trip.
