Is Cuba Safe?
Is Cuba Safe? It’s a simple question but not an easy answer. We want to be careful in issuing a blanket statement of “yes” or “no” but instead offer you our experience spending three days there and let you draw your own conclusions. Daytime Usually when you’re walking around a major city in the daytime, you’re more likely to be attacked by people selling tours and begging for spare change than in any real danger. Neither of those is...
Garuda Indonesia A330 Business Class Flight Review
Since we started this blog almost 2 years ago, we’ve taken a lot of business class flights. One of the better flights was in Garuda Indonesia Business Class, so we thought we’d go back and review it again with 2 more years of experience and background. Enjoy! In March of 2014, Garuda Indonesia became the 20th member of Skyteam, and with that opened up a large route network throughout Asia and Oceania for redemption...
ANA Premium Economy HND-YVR
ANA offers an excellent Boeing Dreamliner product out of Tokyo Haneda to a lot of destinations, and Premium Economy is a nice step up from being shoved all the way in the back in coach. Since there was no priority pass lounge for us in the Haneda airport, we took some time to do some Duty Free shopping. Arguably, it is some of the strangest duty free shopping that I’ve ever seen. From multi flavored Kit Kats… To dolls in plastic...
The rules of WiFi in Cuba and how to stay connected
Cuba is a developing country, and because of that staying connected to WiFi can sometimes be a challenge. Spend any amount of time away from a wifi signal or cell phone signal while you’re on vacation and you might go through a bit of withdrawl. Never fear, WiFi in Cuba is strong and plentiful, as long as you know where to look. Cuba WiFi hotspots You’re not going to find Wi-Fi at restaurants, bars, or any other place where...
The La Quinta San Francisco North Hotel – AVOID!
The title of this posts says is all, but the La Quinta San Francisco North is one hotel that you would do yourself a favor by avoiding at all costs. We had a one night layover in SFO before our recent Dublin trip and also had a free hotel night stay worth $100 to use before the end of January. When looking at the hotels, the La Quinta was $109 a night so paying $9 for a hotel room seemed like a no-brainer. We made a big mistake....
Air France Salon Affaires, Terminal 2E
Air France has a lot of lounges in CDG airport as they operate out of many terminals, but the one that we used, the Salon Affaires, was located in Terminal 2E Traveling as a Skyteam Elite member (Platinum Skymiles) member on an international ticket allows us to use the Air France lounge, no matter the class of service we’re flying in. With that in mind, we passed the security checks and headed down the elevator to the lounge one floor...
St Pancras Renaissance Hotel – Haywood Suite
As is our default whenever we visit London, we booked ourselves a Junior Suite at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. Not particularly because this is a default hotel, since this really couldn’t be anything further from a standard hotel. For anyone who doesn’t know which hotel we’re talking about, you may have caught a glimpse of it in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets movie when Harry and Ron aren’t able to make their...
Hilton Garden Inn Dublin Review
There are a lot of hotels to choose from in Dublin, but the problem is that the majority of them are extremely overpriced. The Hilton Garden Inn is just north of the River Liffey and is perfectly positioned for access to all the sights in town. Getting to the hotel from the airport is a breeze. As soon as we landed, we headed out to the bus stop and looked for the 747 bus (aptly named) which would take us to the center of town for 6...
The Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle, WA
Just a few short miles to the south of downtown Seattle lies the Museum of Flight, a museum owned and operated at Boeing Field. It’s been around since more than 50 years and gets about a half a million visitors every year. Over 140,000 students come through the museum each year as well as part of Boeing’s commitment to education through summer camps and outreach programs. The museum will rent out the space for private...
Like Beer? Try some Bermondsey Microbrews and Craft Beers in London
Craft beers in London are making a surge onto the scene as of late, and Bermondsey microbrews are some of the best. Many breweries are opening up all around town. This isn’t your grandfather’s beer, as many unique flavors and combinations are being used to bring forward awesome flavors. We’ve been to London 7 times now and going on one of these walking tours was always on our list. For one reason or another we never had the...
