Olympic Screw-ups to Remember
By now you have probably heard about most of the Olympic flops, but I bet you haven’t heard about these… So here we are, freshly returned from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and we have finally finished downloading the thousands of pictures we took during our stay there. We’re back, safe and sound, just like we expected, but we wanted to take a minute to talk about all the other incidents. First one that comes to mind is...
The Club at ATL, the “other” ATL lounge
For those of you out there with a Priority Pass membership, you’ll be happy to know that when you’re traveling through Atlanta, you have an option. Yes, 1 option. And it’s kinda far away. BUT. It is staffed by the most friendly people in Atlanta and they have a full, free, open, heavy pour bar. All the way down in Concourse F, in a land far, far away from all the other concourses, lies the sole Priority Pass...
REVIEW: Delta Sky Club, ATL Concourse F
After an uneventful flight from Seattle to Atlanta, we had about a 5 hour layover in Atlanta. Â We thought it would be an excellent opportunity to head over to the F gates a bit early and enjoy the Delta Sky Club there. Â It’s not the largest in the network, but to me it has some of the best features among all the sky clubs. This club features an awesome observation deck that looks out over the tarmac....
Rio 2016 – NoMasCoach style!
As many of you, our loyal readers know, we had the opportunity to head down to Rio de Janeiro just a few weeks ago for the Rio 2016 Olympics. We booked everything fairly last minute so it’s quite a miracle that we managed to get everything lined up so perfectly. Over the next week and change we’ll bring you some of the reviews of the first and business class products that we flew along with some first hand...
Morning stroll through Copenhagen
A short while ago we had the opportunity to enjoy a 1 day layover in Copenhagen before another one of our adventures, so in order to make the best of a quick trip, we decided to head out of our hotel early (around 8am) and get some sights, hopefully out of the prying eyes of other tourists! The streets and the canals were devoid of people, except for a few locals heading out to the markets. In just under 3 hours this strip would turn...
Gastronomy in Basque Country, Pais Vasco, Spain
A short while back, I had the opportunity to hear Rick Steves speak in Seattle, and among the topic that he was discussing was the concept of visiting “second cities.” In other words, while most people visit Rome, Paris, Madrid, and Berlin, they don’t visit Naples, Marseille, Bilbao, and Cologne. It’s just human nature to want to go to the big city. After all, it’s the one that most people have heard about and most of your friends...

In no particular order: Jim from Arizona Jonathan from...
Zika Prevention for Rio 2016
So here we are, en route to (being en route to being closer to getting to) Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic Games. As we sit on the Delta Sky Club lounge in Atlanta, we wanted to share with you how we made sure to mitigate the risk of contracting Zika while we’re down there. As much as we love supporting Team USA (and Team Argentina and Team Italy for that matter), we don’t want to come back with a nice Zika surprise....
Latest AARP Discount Update with British
A few weeks back, we broke the news here that British Airways was increasing their discounts on economy and premium economy flights with the AARP discount. Well, I guess all good things must come to an end… Now, according to both the AARP page and the BA page, the discounts have reverted back to normal. But wait, did you see that last part? In the last post, all travel must have been booked by July 31st, effectively...
Zambia: Walking with Rhinos
Since our visit to Kruger National Park in South Africa, I had been dead set on seeing rhinos, at least from a shorter distance. It turned out it wasn’t meant to be until we got to Zambia. It is worth noting that in 2010, the population of white rhinos in Zambia was a shocking total of 1. Yes, ONE. Thankfully, the country sprung into action and relocated 4 white rhinos from South Africa to Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya...
