Quit that Damn Rock Stacking Fad!

To many, many people, the art of rock stacking (apparently called cairns) is a beautiful thing to do as it gives them peace, relaxation and gets them in touch with themselves. For many, many others like myself, who like to enjoy nature in its natural state, it drives us insane. And I do mean insane.   AHHHHHHHHH! Stop doing this crap! #rockstacking #cairns #rockpile #Santorini #Greece #Oia #travel #tourism A video posted by Ben...

Copa Lounge, Panama City

There are two Priority Pass lounges in the Tocumen airport in Panama City. The first is landside (pre security) and the Copa lounge right in front of gate 21. Conveniently the gate for our American flight was out of gate 20. We entered the club and were greeted by a friendly (for being 545am) attendant who cheerfully took our Priority Pass card, scanned it, and let us in. The club was pretty empty being that it was so early, so it...

Holiday Inn Express Central, Colorado Springs

There are 4 IHG properties in the Colorado Springs area, and for our one night stay they were all quite expensive. The cheapest for the one night was $145 and the highest was $225. I’m a big believer of not paying that kind of money for a hotel stay that isn’t something more luxurious, so we opted to redeem points for this stay. At 20,000 points a night it wasn’t the cheapest redemption in the world, but we’re proponents of redeeming...

Business Class Sale to the US from $1,000 Round Trip!

There was a huge currency devaluation last night that I’ll bet most of you didn’t know about. Egypt decided to let its currency float freely instead of being tied to the dollar. Instead of the normal 9 EGP to USD, the currency rate is currently 15.56 EGP to USD. The question for most is… so what? Well, the answer is that when the currency devalues so does the cost of buying airline tickets out of the country! Egypt...
