Hanging out in Hawaii
For our summer vacation this year, we decided to take the girls to Hawaii. We had enough frequent flyer miles to get all of us there, so we only had to pay the taxes on each ticket ($11.20). So, for a grand total of $56.00 we were on our way! Because it’s hard to find award availability for five seats, we booked early – and because we’re cheap, we gave it to the girls as a Christmas present lol! We told them we were going on a trip and gave them some clues to the destination which ended with them opening a box of leis. We decided to fly to…
An Afternoon in Old San Juan
Old San Juan Recently, my girlfriend Debbie and I decided we wanted to take another Caribbean cruise and began looking for one that stopped at island countries we had never visited before. In order to find a cruise that visited the more Southward islands in less than a week, we had to change our Port of Departure. We settled on Norwegian’s 7-Day Southern Caribbean cruise which began in Puerto Rico. (To see a review of the cruise, click here) We had never been to Puerto Rico before, so we figured why not! We flew into Puerto Rico on Spirit airlines the night before the cruise. We didn’t want to risk…
Ummm… What country is Prague in?
My girlfriend Debbie and I recently took a trip to Prague – and had an amazing time in this wonderful little city. Prior to this trip, Prague was not even on our radar. I was sitting there minding my own business one day, when Travelzoo sent me an email with their Top 20 deals for the week. I will not admit how often this happens and I end up dreaming about all the places I could go if I had the time and the money – when I noticed the number one deal was a 5-night trip to Prague for $699 – with air included! I must admit, I knew…
A proper British trip!
I am a self-proclaimed Anglophile and love everything British, the accents, the architecture, the history everything but the Fish and Chips lol! I knew that when I finally got to visit, I would absolutely love it – and London did not disappoint. It reminds me of New York (which I love), but with less trash and prettier buildings. It also has the West End and we all know how much I love musicals American Airlines had just posted a new credit card offer where you applied for the card, and if you made one purchase on the card, you received 60,000 airline miles. That’s it … ONE purchase. I literally…
My Pretty Little Galway Girl
We told each of the kids that when they graduated high school, we would take them on a trip anywhere in the world. My oldest Kaleigh wanted to go to Ireland and learn more about her roots on the Hanley side of the family, so we were more than happy to oblige. The three of us (Kaleigh, my girlfriend Debbie and I) set off with my best friend Liz in tow. Luckily, we had enough United miles for three plane tickets so that helped bring the cost down significantly. At the time we were miles newbies and weren’t aware of the United excursionist perk – had we known then what…
