Yar: Japan
Well, my planned trip to Japan will not be as cheap as I had hoped, but it will still be cheaper than normal. I can use my miles to get there, but not back. I can get okay round trip tickets from San Diego or LA and use miles to get there and back. I can definitely afford it, but it's kind of a bummer that I won't get to do it as cheaply as I had hoped; that was admittedly part of the joy of the way things were looking. Regardless, it'll be a great experience and one well worth the expenditure. I can't do all of my world-hopping for free, after all! I've been pretty fortunate this far, so when you think about it, I'm already very ahead.

All in all, it's a bigger disappointment than a setback. Anything worth its while requires sacrifice and won't necessarily be easy. And this requires yet even more research. Hmmm.
