I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.
2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.
Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Having actually RTFA for once... I was looking at where Mark was noting his first email address.
I remember those days -- pre internet, so you had to give the route (...!ucbvax!ucscb).
We also had write (and for see as you type, "rite") on our PDP-11/70, and for the life of me, I couldn't understand why I'd use email instead of write. It took a while before I realized the value of asynchronous communication.
But yes, those were the days.
