I just cashed in all of my Aeroplan miles for a return flight to Northern Voice 2006. I’m SOOOOO looking forward to those couple of days in Vancouver. I’m skipping the DrupalCon that’s in town the week prior to NV so I’m not away from the family toooo much… I was originally planning on hitting both events to gather ideas for the seemingly endless lineup of Drupal-related projects we’re working on at the Learning Commons, but will settle for lurking on whatever online component they have, and catching the Coles Notes version during Moose Camp…
Booking the tickets through the Aeroplan program was less painful than I expected, but they sure have a weird method of selecting flights – they provided me with about 10 preselected combinations of flights on the days I selected. I couldn’t just pick the individual flights with the times I wanted. I suppose that’s the tradeoff for cashing in on an almost-free trip…
