This thread is really inspiring
I will say that my typically failed bidding strategy is normally based on good hotels and/or pairing, and/or proximity to known good food. Or I guess the islands if I'm feeling the urge (which typically checks all those boxes). There are a surprising number of those trips out there that nobody wants. I get that the redeye returns aren't for a lot of people, but 24-30+ hrs is a lot of me time. And the Poke/Udon spots are way better. Also surprisingly to me, HI has pretty decent beer. Strange thing for a Navy person to say, but the first time I ever went to any of the islands was flying myself in an airliner there.
