Summary
Greg's benchmark trip is done, and that means it's time for the 100K Vacay team challenge to begin! In this episode, you'll get a chance to listen to the kick-off live stream that aired on October 1st at 9 pm Eastern Time and reviewed all the things that went well (and could have gone better) with Greg's 100K Vacay benchmark trip to Malta.
(01:14) - Here's the timeline of the challenge (starting with the October 1st live kick off).
(03:14) - What is 100K Vacay?
(03:54) - What's the deal with Greg's benchmark trip? Why isn't he being judged?
(06:26) - Greg's benchmark trip - what was it and how did he do?
(28:20) - Greg's final totals for his trip and why he scored himself a B+
You can read Greg's trip journal here.
(35:43) - How do our competitors feel? What are they confident about, and what are they less confident about?
(53:08) - How do Nick and Stephen feel about the fact that Tim's already hit the ground running?
(1:00:35) - Redemption on VS in Europe is distance-based, not considering layovers (something you advocated). Is it worth the extra time to save some miles due to layovers in AMS or CDG?
(1:03:01) - How did you end up in Business Class on Air Serbia? I never even heard of it before.
(1:04:29) - How was the breakfast at the Hyatt Centric Malta? Did they have local food?
(1:04:27) - Did any of your trips take advantage of mileage transfer bonuses?

| 0:19.5 | My benchmark trip is done. I spent four nights in Malta and in today's episode, |
| 0:26.9 | I'm going to give you a full overview about that trip. We'll discuss what went well and what |
| 0:32.1 | didn't. And then we interview challengers. For each contestant, we asked, are they confident or quaking? |
| 0:42.1 | Now that they've seen what my benchmark trip looks like, we learn that both Tim and Stephen are starting |
| 0:48.8 | in New York City. This is kind of ironic because Nick is the only contestant who actually |
| 0:54.1 | lives within easy driving distance of New York City. |
| 0:57.0 | But we don't know where Nick is starting. |
| 0:59.6 | And we also learned that Tim kick things off already with a daytime flight. |

| 1:35.5 | stream where Kerry and I and all three contestants met to kick off the contestant part of the challenge. |
| 1:44.8 | And Saturday, October 4th at 6 p.m., we're going to do a mid-challenge check-in. |
