Up Now: TravelSkills Chat

I generally like to give folks a bit more notice, but I'll be over on Twitter at 9AM Pacific / 12PM Eastern discussing miles and points with Chris McGinnis and Johnny Jet as part of their weekly TravelSkills chat.

If you aren't already following me on Twitter now's a good time! ;p You can watch the hashtag #travelskills to follow the conversation.

For those of you who don't have Twitter, I've also tried to embed the conversation below so you can follow along, and we can certainly continue the conversation in the comments!
