Summary
This week Nick is vacationing in Bora Bora. On our weekly FM on the Air, he compares the Conrad to the St Regis Bora Bora. Which is better? He also talks pros and cons of Hawaii vs. Bora Bora. Next, we talked vacation packages and shared tips for getting the most out of them. Finally, I talked live with a Delta Vacations rep to find out if the SkyMiles deal of the year has been extended (it has!).

| 0:13.8 | I'm Greg, the Frequent Miler. |
| 0:15.5 | And I'm here with this week's guest and every week's guest. |
| 0:22.6 | And my right hand man, Nicholas Reyes, who, now I'm back from Hawaii, back at home. |
| 0:29.1 | Right. And it looked like a great trip. |
| 0:31.2 | It was a great trip. But Nick is not at home. Can you tell us where you are? |
| 0:37.0 | I'm definitely not at home this week. No, I am at the St. Regis |
| 0:40.9 | Bora Bora coming to you live from Bora Bora in French Polynesia. Beautiful St. Regis, |
| 0:46.1 | which you wrote about last year was a great opportunity because for a short period of time, you were |

| 1:13.6 | And so tell us a little, do you like, how does the St. Regis compare? |
| 1:19.6 | Well, there will certainly be a post coming about comparing the two because before I came, I had read |
| 1:24.6 | Lockhees reviews at one mile at a time of both the Conrad Borah Bora and the St. Regis Borah Borah, because he kind of beat me to it and came to both of them earlier this year. |
| 1:33.3 | And he had high praise for the Conrad Borobora and not very many nice things to say about the St. Regis Borabora. |
| 1:39.9 | And it's interesting because my experience has not matched his. First of all, both of these places are phenomenal. |
