We’re going to the FTU in October, are you?
If you don’t know what a FTU is, don’t worry. Until my first event back in 2014 I hadn’t heard of it either. FTU stands for Frequent Traveler University, and there are usually a few all over the US every year. This year they actually held one outside in Berlin, but it was a bit too far for us. When I first attended the FTU in Seattle there were a few hundred other like minded people, all sharing secrets and tips...
48 hours countdown to the Opening Ceremony…
We arrived in Rio on August 3rd around 4pm and got straight to our apartment. The 48 hour countdown to the opening ceremony has begun! The last time we were in Rio in October of last year, we pretty much gorged ourselves on food. Everything we could possibly eat or drink we tried, and it was all amazing. We especially remember going to a restaurant called Aconchego Carioca, which has a couple of locations around Rio. Specifically,...

LATAM’s flight from Santiago de Chile to Rio
Back in 2012 the merger between LAN and TAM completed, but just like any good merger, these things take time. American and USAirways completed their merger and I still see USAirways planes flying around. Since flights to Rio were really expensive, and the new LATAM is part of the OneWorld alliance, we decided that the best way to get from Santiago to Rio would be redeeming British Airways avios at a cost of 10,000 each to...
Why I’m not getting excited over this credit card…
We just got back from the Olympics in Rio (as you may have read…) and the experience was amazing. It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences for many people, and I’m really grateful to have had the chance to go I also had the chance to go back in 2012 as well, so here’s to hoping that Tokyo 2020 will also become a reality! US Bank has partnered with the US Olympic team and Visa to launch a special...
A trip through time: Santiago’s Admirals Club
Have you ever felt like you’ve just been transported back in time to the 80’s? Reagan was president, you were jamming in the park with your walkman to Jessie’s Girl, Hungry like the Wolf, or You Spin Me Round, AND if you were traveling to Santiago de Chile, you were enjoying the Admiral’s Club. At least that what it felt like. I don’t think this club has been updated since then… We found...
Travel and Leisure Top 100 Hotels. I Call BS!
I’ll admit. I have a magazine subscription. Yes, yes…I know. Most people are going digital, but I like holding and reading ACTUAL magazines every now and again. So I was intrigued when I got an email this morning from Travel and Leisure, encouraging me to take a look at the top 100 hotels WORLDWIDE as voted by their readers. Now, we’ve stayed at some amazing hotels in our travels. Here’s the Sheraton in...
Huge discounts on W Hotels Merchandise – Act Fast!
We are the proud owners of a W Hotel Bed, as we kinda fell in love with it when we stayed at a W hotel a few years back. We tried out a lot of other beds (including buying mattresses from Sam’s Club and Macy’s) and still the mattress that we bought from the W Hotels store was the clear and easy choice. The problem? They’re damned expensive. The bed alone can go for upwards of $2,000 depending on the size...
DL 069, Atlanta to Santiago de Chile, Business Class
Since Delta revamped their business class to “Delta One” class, we hadn’t had a chance to try out their product. And, since we had to do all this stuff last minute, we had to get whatever flight we could down to South America. Enter Delta flight 69 from Atlanta to Santiago de Chile. Boarding was delayed about 20 minutes with no real explanation, so we patiently waited at the gate area along with all of the other...
