Good point on the miles / AMEX points. I am Global Services on United, so yeah I travel some.
Thanks for all of the suggestions and kind words. I think I may get a few different brands in different sizes and see what I think.
I hope 2012 is a better year. I am staying in the same neighborhood but just moving to the other side. I want the transition to be the easiest on the kids as possible, and keeping them close to their friends is important to me. Plus, the new house has a three car garage that I will have all to myself. Now I just need to get the lift over there......
