Hotel Review: OR Tambo Johannesburg, Protea by Marriott
Since we were arriving around 9pm into Johannesburg and leaving the next morning around 10, we figured that it would be best if we just grabbed a quick and easy airport hotel for the night. Luckily, with the Marriott acquisition of Protea Hotels, there was a cheap and unique option in the OR Tambo Protea Airport Hotel.

Dubai to Johannesburg, Emirates Business Class, 777-300
And now, for one of the more disappointing flights we’ve taken in months if not years. Emirates hypes up their service and amenities on their flights, and in first class they deliver. On this flight in business class however, delivery did not meet expectations at all.

EgyptAir Adventures, Business Class, Boeing 737
To get around Egypt you’ve got three options: Tourist trains and buses, which take forever and come with armed guards, a Nile cruise which could take days at a time, or EgyptAir. In the interest of time, we opted for choice number 3.

What’s it like to shower at 30,000 ft?
Pretty freaking awesome, I would say! This is the Emirates A380 shower:
Emirates A380 First Class, Washington Dulles to Dubai
Emirates First Class tickets are, for me, one of the best uses of Alaska Airlines miles that are out there. For only 100,000** miles you can route to Asia, Africa, or Europe through Dubai and include a stopover for as long as you like.

Sheraton Grand Hotel Dubai and Holiday Inn Al Barsha
There are dozens of chain hotels in Dubai to choose from. IHG has a dozen or so, so does Starwood. Marriott has around 10, and Hyatt has 4. Heck, even Club Carlson has around 6 to choose from. Since we wanted to keep our platinum status with Starwood, we opted for the Sheraton Grand Hotel Dubai because of it’s central location and low point redemption options.

African Adventure: Overview and Booking
Africa has always been a continent that we’d been interested in visiting, and finally the opportunity arose to allow us to visit our 6th and final continent (barring Antarctica). It was a really complicated booking, and took us through 3 continents, 7 countries, 16 individual flights, and tens upon tens of thousands of miles inside airplanes, taxis, tour cars, and buses. With that said, it was all worth it, and we...
