Expo 2020 Dubai – Everything You Need to Know
The time has come! The Expo 2020 Dubai (now technically 2021) is upon us, and we’re going to be there next month. This every-five-year event last took place in Milan in 2015 and now it’s Dubai’s turn. Despite a small setback from Covid-19, the city is open and ready to accept tourists to the world’s largest event spanning six months. If you’ve never been to Dubai, then from now until March 2022 you have...
A Reminder: People Are Good
With all that’s going on right now, it’s pretty easy to feel down. Turn on the TV and everything is coronavirus related. People are dying, events are being canceled, stay in place orders are being issued. It’s all understandable, but the non-stop barrage of negative news can be really overwhelming and depressing. With all the negative though, I wanted to share a positive experience that happened recently. This...
A Bizarre Experience on American Airlines
Passenger shaming has become a hot topic on social media these days. For those unfamiliar with the term, passenger shaming is when someone snaps a photo or a video of someone doing something outlandish on a plane. We’ve seen countless things go viral in recent years from silly to just plain gross. Things like the emotional support mini horse, a passenger using their feet to change the in-flight entertainment, and the woman who...
Why Oktoberfest Should Be On Your Bucket List
Guten tag! Wie gehts? This past autumn, I finally had a chance to go to Oktoberfest for the first time. No, not the one where your neighborhood bar decides to serve Becks for a week. The real one in Munich. While I’d been to Munich before, this was my first time going to Oktoberfest. Was it spitze or schlecht? Well, judging by the title, you can probably guess… What’s so great about Oktoberfest? Munich is already one...
HOURS LEFT: My Favorite Travel Clothes EVER are now On Sale
A hard part of traveling as frequently as we do is deciding what clothes to wear, how to wash them, and what clothes match up. Because sometimes we land from trip A and the next day head out on trip B, having travel options that are no-fuss no-muss is essential. A couple of years ago, we were introduced to the Bluffworks brand of clothing. It was marketed as a versatile wardrobe that was anti odor, anti wrinkle, and machine washable....
We just booked a $44,800 luxury vacation for ONLY $637
If you’re a fan of this blog, you’ll know that we love our vacations. Through an awesome combination of miles, points, credit card signups, promotions, and straight up hustling, we earn between 1.5 million and 2 million points and miles a year. The problem that we run into (and it’s such a #FirstWorldProblem) is where can we spend so many miles and points, and actually get a luxurious, first class trip, that we would...
Lost River, WV, an LGBTQ Retreat!
There is no shortage of events, festivals, and shows in the greater Washington, DC area to keep anyone busy for months on end. A jumbled mix of highways, byways, and traffic circles, it’s easy to get lost in the concrete jungle. Getting away for the weekend for some fresh air and peace and quiet is easy with just a short 2 and a half hour drive to the West… West Virginia in fact, to the town of Lost River. An...
Conrad Maldives offers a Water Villa Discount using Points
The Maldives are one of the most exotic destinations in the world. Some of the world’s best luxury hotels and resorts are there, and it’s pretty difficult to get to. The Conrad Maldives, home to great diving and one of the world’s only underwater restaurants, Ithaa has been on points and miles junkie’s list for years. Now, thanks to a Hilton glitch sale, the most desired rooms are the same price as the normal...
Help us spend 1,664,217 Alaska Airlines Miles, and Win a Free Flight!
Living in Seattle makes it easy to fly Alaska Airlines to dozens of destinations. Since they’re also the only US program to give miles based on distance (instead of revenue) it’s also easy to rack up a lot of miles, fast. Over the past several years since we’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve moved our business over to Alaska Airlines (from American and Delta) and in turn have been accumulating hundreds...
Alaska Airlines Has Amazing Mileage Run Opportunities
Mileage runs are not dead… yet. They may be on life support, but there are still plenty of opportunities to do mileage runs and rack up a ton of miles. The problem for most is that the largest airlines in the USA (Delta, American and United) have gone revenue based in their mileage plans. In other words, you earn miles based on what you pay, not on what you fly. One airline still gives you one mile per mile flown, and...
