It's been a long time since time has flown by. Even though it feels like just a few years ago, it has been five and a half years since I joinedMiles to Memories. 2020 felt like seven years on it's own. You understand the point. There is a bit of news that I have to share. Please allow me to reminisce before I get to that.

The last five and a half years have seen a lot happen in the travel, miles and points space. I am in awe of how things have changed in that short time period. I think I went from a bad writer to a good one over that period of time. I might be fooling myself there. It has been a pleasure to work in an area that makes me happy. It's the sweetest spot of life when you can turn your hobby into a career.

Shawn was the one who helped me do it. He took a chance on me and I hope he feels that it paid off in the end. Thank you for giving me this chance.

Over the years, it has been a pleasure working with him. Many friends have been formed working with these people. It is difficult to find a better group of workers.

I would like to express my gratitude to you all. You will never know how much it means to me. In the comments, in our Facebook Groups, and via email, I have been able to get to know a lot of you. There is no Miles to Memories or points space if you don't have all of us. The troll kept me on my toes and gave me a laugh. Thanks to you as well.

All good things have to end. At the end of the year, I'll be moving to Memories. I will continue to do the MtM Vegas show with Shawn.

If you want to know what is next, I will announce it on my social media accounts at the end of the year. The best way to stay in touch with me is through those.

It has been an amazing five and a half years and I thank all of you for taking the journey with me. I am excited for what is next and I can promise this isn’t the last you’ll see of me. Happy Holidays to everyone and I look forward to closing out this year alongside all of you. Let’s finish it off with a bang!
