A few weeks ago, I shared some tips for earning frequent flier miles. Next up is how to use these frequent flier miles to actually fly for free (also known as “award travel”). It is absolutely true that earning miles is only half the battle. You can accumulate miles forever and ever, but actually using [...]
As I boarded the plane to Costa Rica, the scan of Dave’s boarding pass showed that he was now sitting in seat 4D, not 21E as his old boarding pass had said. Well, 4D is pretty close to the front, which meant that my loving husband had been upgraded to first class while I was [...]
Warning: this doesn’t always work, but when it does…it is so so worth it Returning on Air France from a whirlwind trip around the Czech Republic, Hungary and the Balkans, Dave and I had a layover in Paris on our way back to New York. The layover was short, certainly not enough time to leave [...]
After a half day at sea yesterday, two more days at sea were on tap! The Seychelles are REALLY far away and thus it takes 3 full days to get there. These days were amazingly relaxing full of napping, eating, drinking, trivia, good conversation and an odd ceremony – more on that soon, so get [...]
Another day at see….fantastic. The rest of the day was lunch, a nap and team trivia. Our old British team never wins, or even gets 2nd or 3rd place, but I think we definitely have the best team. All of our teammates are these hilarious rich Brits and we seem to spend more time laughing than [...]
Today was a restful day at sea and thanks to me no longer taking the malerone, I felt worlds better. The waves were higher than they ever had been, about 2m, so Dave was feeling a bit sea sick and got some pills down in the shop. Laying down seemed to improve things so we [...]
These days sailing to India…I was going to write about each day separately, but honestly these days smooshed together. We slept a lot both days, that is for sure. We did other things too, like played Scrabble, played trivia with our old British team and we ate a lot. Meals included pizza and Indian food [...]
We had planned on going to breakfast some time before 10:30am, but when we awoke at 1pm…well, that was not possible. We packed, got ready, and arranged for a taxi to take us to Port Rashid around 2:30. Before leaving, we enjoyed a fantastic lunch by the pool and fountains. I had the chicken briyani, [...]
We left from Newark at 3pm for the 8 hour non-stop flight to Lima, Peru on Continental Airlines. The flight was very easy and I slept a bit, ate a bit, and tried to comfort Dave during this excruciating headache he was having. Soon then it seemed it was time to land. When we were [...]
We awoke this morning at the Hilton Hotel at Stansted Airport outside of London. We did manage to catch the 9am Stansted Express and were at London Liverpool Street station by 9:50. We hopped on the tube to Embankment, walked to Charing Cross to store our luggage for a hefty £8 for each bag, and [...]
Today started out in Zagreb, Croatia and ended in New York. During the course of this travel, we managed to score €600 in airline vouchers. How did we do this? Read on! After going to bed at 2am, waking up at 4am sure was terrible. Dave and I were still in our clothes after falling [...]
This flight….well, I don’t really remember much. We left late from JFK, Dave and I managed to get seats together after some bargaining with other passengers, and then we talked for quite a while until dinner came. I was expecting that dinner was going to be good – this was Air France, after all. Christina [...]
