Last year, it took me until late December to fly enough miles to hit Silver, the lowest of the Northwest Airlines "elite" memberships.

This year, I'm more than halfway there, and it's only April.

This year, I've got a Hertz Gold membership. I've got status with Marriott. I'm Silver. And none of it matters.

Traveling sucks.
