With the New Year comes a feeling of new beginnings – a time when we focus anew on health, relationships, wealth, and career. We plow into January with enthusiasm for the ways we’re going to improve our life. But other new beginnings happen also, whether we want them to or not. Airline year-to-date status mileage [...]
Guest post by Ashley Grimaldo. Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. But a mid-transit chat pales in comparison to the distraction of driving with one (or two!) children wailing in the backseat. Nothing increases adrenaline and quick recall of four-letter words quite like crying kids. As parents, we can mentally cope with crying [...]

The first thing you’ll notice is a large interactive touchscreen where you can learn about the weather, news, and attractions around town. The seating and decor are all updated [...]
A whirlwind weekend in Jamaica is not enough! I’ve just returned to The States, and I’m already looking at my calendar to pencil in a return visit. The food, the amenities, the activites, and the people were all world class! A few of my favorite things include waking up to a beautiful view of the [...]
When I visit a hotel for the first time, I always ask myself “If this was a hotel I had to stay in week after week for business, would I stay at this hotel?” If the room is great, but the fitness center is poor, the answer is No. If the walls are thin and [...]
I feel airline lounges are the primary reason I stay sane with all my travels. Just having 30 or 60 minutes in-between flights, or even a few hours with a flight delay, can be the difference between an enjoyable experience (yes, even with a flight delay) or a stressful one.
