Hotel Review: Tru by Hilton Hotel Sterling Heights, MI
The one thing I like about Hilton is they have a bunch of interesting properties. They’re trying to build a local presence with a lot of their brands, one of which is Tru hotels by Hilton. It’s a very millennial focused hotel with a cool, hip vibe. Everyone wears T-Shirts as their uniform, there are bold, loud colors, and a unique work/play space. The Public Space As you enter the property...

Want Marriott Ambassador Status? Don’t redeem your points…
The recent merger between Starwood and Marriott has been… less than perfect. There have been technical issues, account merger issues, booking issues, and about any other issue you can think of. Elite status and elite benefits across both programs weren’t showing properly, nights weren’t adding up, and stays weren’t showing. It would seem that largely that has been taken care of, and things seem to be running...
How many miles can you earn as an Alaska Airlines MVP Elite Member?
Loyalty programs drive loyalty, plain and simple. Earning miles is the airline’s way to give you a little something back for you giving them a bunch of money. American, Delta, and United have all changed to a cost based loyalty program, meaning the more you spend the more you earn. Alaska Airlines is still the only airline that awards you one mile for every mile you fly, and that creates some unique opportunities to earn a lot...
Hotel Review: Element Bozeman
As the only Starwood hotel in the entire state of Montana, the Element Bozeman is a bit of an oddity. Element, being an extended stay property, is smack in downtown Bozeman, MT. It also commands a bit of a premium price during the summer. Bozeman is a perfect starting or stopping point for a trek down to Yellowstone. The hotel is situated just a quick 10 minutes from the airport, so as soon as we arrived and picked up our rental car,...
Alaska Airlines offering big discounts with Winter Getaway Sale
Alaska Airlines runs fairly frequent airfare sales, and today’s sale is no different. This one does provide some exceptional value, especially for those who are able to take some short-haul flights or maybe are even considering some end of 2018 or early 2019 mileage running. Fares start at $49 one way. Here’s some sample fares. Great mileage run fares are bolded: Seattle San Francisco $55 San Diego $69 Dallas, Milwaukee,...
Bonjour! Air France offers Mexico Helicopter Rides
One of the byproducts of living relatively near to SeaTac, having TSA Precheck and Clear is that we have become rather cocky when calculating our commuting time from our place to the airport. More than once I have said to myself ‘I wish we could just take a helicopter ride’ in order to bypass our totally ridiculous and unpredictable Seattle traffic. Well, it turns out I might be able to now. Sort of. Voom Air France has...
