My Thoughts on the Fremont Meetup and the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show

Posted on by . 15 Replies

Good evening everyone, I just wanted to share some of my thoughts from yesterday regarding my first Bay Area meetup in Fremont and my short trip to the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show.  On Saturday afternoon, as I drove down to Fremont, it started pouring really hard.  I didn’t know if I was going to make it to In-N-Out in time for the 12pm meetup or if anyone would show up.  Luckily, by the time I made it to Fremont, the rain had stopped and the weather began to improve.  As I waited outside on the tables, I was curious to see if anyone would show up.  (Photo taken at 11:55am)

Good afternoon everyone, the votes have been tallied and the results are in… The first Bay Area meetup will be tomorrow (Saturday, February 7) at 12pm at the Fremont In-N-Out.  Even though the meetup says it will go from 12-2pm, I should still be there until 3 or 4pm.  The meetups always last longer than scheduled, so feel free to come and go anytime you want.

Booking Alaska Airlines Saver Award Space with British Airways Avios (SAN-PVR)

(Hat Tip to Rich for the question)

Rich was looking for award space from San Diego (SAN) to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (PVR) in October, but was confused by Alaska Airline’s Saver Award Space.  He has plenty of British Airways Avios and wanted to see which Alaska Airlines flights were available using British Airways Avios.  By looking at the entire month of October, I was able to find 3 days with Alaska Airlines Saver Award Space on the outbound (Oct 11, 19, and 25) and several more dates on the return.
