    Why the hell are you going to Qatar?

    It’s no secret that we play the miles game, or that we love to travel and want to see All.The.Countries.  When people heard about our most recent trip, instead of the normal, “oh that’s awesome!”, many of the comments we got were – “Why the hell are you going to Qatar?” The answer to that quite simply is, “because I want to go everywhere and I got a really good deal!”   If you had asked me this time last year, I could not have told you anything about Qatar.  Not what the capital was, not what the people were like – all I would have been able to tell you…

    Our Bucket List Trip out West….

    After taking a trip to Italy in 2014, I got really excited about travel and started saving airline miles to take my three kids on a trip.  I wasn’t ready to take them overseas yet and being from Florida I thought it would be really cool to take them out West.  I asked them each to make a bucket list, of items big and small that they wanted to do while we were there, and I’d do my best to make as many as I could happen. Their requests ranged from things as big as whitewater rafting, to as small as having an In-N-Out burger.  Once I had their lists,…
