Hello from Paris! We just wrapped up a few wonderful days here, and are shortly enroute to the Seychelles. As I'll explain later, unfortunately we're not really flying Air Seychelles as I was expecting, but rather are on an Etihad plane. By the time…
I've spent the past few weeks in the US, which has been nice for a change, though starting in a few days I'm going to be traveling internationally almost nonstop for the next month, which I'm excited about. Ford and I are headed to Paris and the Seychelles,…
The past couple of weeks I've just been traveling domestically, and I've even spent the past week in Florida visiting my family, which has been nice. I'll be back to international travel starting next week, which I'm very much looking forward to, after…
Hello from Florida! I'm spending this week in Florida visiting family, before a couple of big upcoming trips, as I'll be out of the US for most of April (more details on that soon). On the points and travel front, this week we learned about Amex's plans…
Earlier this week I returned from my quick journey to Africa via Munich, London, Lisbon, Luanda, and Sao Paulo, which was quite an adventure. Over the coming two weeks I have some (boring) domestic travel, and then in April I'll be headed to the Seychelles…
Hello from the Lufthansa First Class Lounge in Munich! I just flew over from the US last night, and am hopping around Europe today. This is my first time checking out Lufthansa's new lounge in Munich, and I'm impressed. I have some fun flights coming…
The first six weeks of the year were the busiest period of flying I've ever had, as I logged a crazy number of miles. Unfortunately that ended with me getting the flu a couple of weeks ago, though I'm finally fully recovered from that. I've been on the…
Hello from the US once again! After being in Asia the past week with the flu, I'm finally back in the US and starting to feel better. I'm not 100% back to normal, but I'd say I'm about 80% of the way there. At this point I'm just feeling weak, though…
Hello from Hong Kong! Tiffany and I are traveling around Asia for a week. We were supposed to go to Australia, but for a variety of reasons decided against it (the primary reason being that we would have been in Australia for all of a day -- oops). We've…
Hello from Huntington Beach! I just wrapped up my busiest month of flying ever, so I'm happy to be on the ground for a bit. Next up Tiffany and I will be heading to Beijing in Delta One Suites, and then onwards from there. It's nice to recover and get…
Hello from Singapore! I just wrapped up a quick roundtrip journey from Singapore to Sydney, as I flew Singapore’s new A380 business class on the way out, and Singapore’s new A380 Suites on the way back. I’ve already shared my thoughts…
Hello from somewhere over the Atlantic! Ford and I just wrapped up a great week in Europe, and are finally heading back to the US. This morning I had the chance to lounge hop at London Heathrow's Terminal 3, so expect reviews of the Cathay Pacific and…
Hello from Verbier, Switzerland! We're spending the week in snow. As someone who typically avoids cold weather at all costs, I have to say that I'm really enjoying myself. Snow sure is pretty. Of course that's easy enough for me to say, given that I'm…
I'm just wrapping up a couple of crazy trips that had me flying 40,000 miles in 10 days. I'm exhausted, as this has been an insane couple of weeks of travel even by my own usual crazy standards. On the plus side, I was able to spend a few days in Yerevan,…
Hello from Colombo! I just finished taking two back-to-back redeyes on Swiss and Air India, and it has been an interesting couple of days, to put it mildly. On the plus side, I'm happy to have made it here more or less on schedule. There was limited…
I spent the entire week on the ground with family celebrating both Christmas and (shortly) New Year's. So while this is the first week in a long time that I didn't fly, I instead spent that time planning a bunch of travel, which I've outlined on the…
I'm spending the week with my family not flying for once, which I'm quite happy about. However, come the first of January I have some big international trips planned, which I'm looking forward to as well. However, it's nice not to be jetlagged for once.…
I returned to the US from Mexico City earlier in the week, though unfortunately caught a nasty cold on my last day in Mexico, and have been sick ever since. This got in the way of an exciting review trip that I had planned for this past week, which I…
Hello from Mexico City! After spending a few days on Easter Island, we're now spending some time in Mexico City, which is my first time actually visiting the city in over a decade. We're having a great time, and the food has been outstanding. This really…
Hello from Mexico City! This past week I took a few flights within North America, and I'm shortly headed to Easter Island, which I'm really looking forward to, as it's my first time. On the travel and points front, this week we learned about huge new…
Hello from Los Angeles! This past week I returned from an amazing trip to Israel with my parents (more on that soon). I’ve been spending a few days on the ground recovering (for once I actually have a bit of jetlag, since I spent a significant…
