Or, to put in a plug, try a corporate deal. My last trip had 4 nights in downtown San Diego, 3 nights in Nice (Marriott Monte Carlo!) and 3 nights in London (Marriott Park Lane), airline home after crew change in LON. Business class DL. Meals? Actual expenses, submit receipts. Rental car? Everywhere but LON, not much use for one there. I've been home for 16 days, go out for 4 tomorrow, stateside.

Oh, yes, young Aussie F/A
