AR2295 – Rio to Buenos Aires, No Class
I had high expectations for this flight since I had flown Aerolineas Argentinas multiple times in economy class but never before one of their premium products. I couldn’t have been more surprised!

Starwood launches 10 new Design Hotels
I love Starwood hotels for tons of reasons, including their awesome SPG loyalty program and their huge selection of unique hotels all over the world.

One of the hotel chains that we have yet to try out is Design Hotels. It always seemed that wherever we were, they didn’t have a...

The day has finally arrived! After months of waiting and anticipation, we finally made our way to the Maracaná stadium for the Rio 2016 Olympic Opening Ceremony. Tickets for the event were not cheap, there were four levels of tickets (A/B/C/D) and C/D tickets were sold out. A/B tickets (the best tickets in the best seats) were available at 4,000 and 3,000 Reals respectively. We bought the 3,000 tickets,...
Giant Butt Blimp goes Down
The largest flying object ever designed went down on its second test flight. The Airlander 10, which is over 300 feet long, almost 45,000 lbs and is filled with 1,340,000 ft3 of helium, sustained a rough landing during its second 100 minute test on Wednesday in Bedfordshire. No one in the crew or ground was injured and the plane blimp vehicle giant butt-shaped aircraft sustained minor damage on its rear… No, I’m kidding,...
