    Rocketwire rewards

    Has anyone else received the AGR offer from Rocketwire? It was with my AGR e-statement. They offer 1000-2000 AGR points for booking a hotel with a 3000 point bonus for 1st time booking.

    Trip on SWC, spend night in DDG

    Thank you all for your help. I think we've decided to go LCH to DDG round trip in Sept. I think this would be 4 zones. We can pay coach from TRI to DDG and back. Am I correct? Have any of you spent any time in DDG or stayed at the Boot Hill B&B? Thanks again.

    Thanks again. I would really like a room with a toilet/shower. I don't think the stairs would be a problem. Can we book it for 3 people and will we have to pay for her meals?

    We are trying to plan a long-distance AGR trip in the fall . We want to take my 91 yr old mother (she's not so sure) with us. We're all small to average size and would like to stay in the same room. She had a stroke, so she is mobile but apprehensive about being alone and walking. Which kind...

    Long distance trip from LCH

    Simple rules for calculating points needed for a ld trip?

    Are there any simple guidelines for calculating points needed? For example, if we arrive at SAC 11:59 pm on the CS and depart on the CZ at 11 am, does that start a new zone? Also, if we arrive at SAS 12:05 am and depart on the TE at 7 am, is that a new zone? Can we take these routes from LCH...
