I know taxes, including property taxes not included in rent, don’t earn points. What about college tuition? Any other things that may be excluded that you wouldn’t expect? High $$ Costco spend? Looking at getting the Palladium.
We are going to be there the first week of January, when the new moon is the 7th. We can do the bioluminescence tour on the 6th, which would be ideal for viewing, but it makes the schedule more difficult as we fly home the 7th (in the evening so doable, as long as no ferry issues strand us). Going the 4th would work a lot better, letting us end our trip with a night or two in San Juan, since we fly out the of there on the 7th.
How much real difference will 2 nights make in visibility, when just before the new moon? I have done some looking and it looks like the moon rises in the middle of the night both days, illumination at 8pm about 10% on the 4th vs closer to 1% on the 6th. Is this going to make enough difference in the experience for us to shift our schedule around?
