Good Trip to you Buzz, don’t forget the entire free world is counting on you to fix this mess.
TWA44 says
Have a great time!! And Ramsey’s right – it would be great if you could single-handedly fix Greece. Give it a try and you’ll be the World’s Titan. Me, I’m going to check out the Centurion at DFW this weekend, so I gotta pack too!

Don’t forget to get your application form in for a job with TPG, Buzz.
It seems he can’t afford much furniture at the moment which is odd given the commissions he gets – http://thepointsguy.com/2015/06/tpg-points-and-miles-jobs/

Buzz, this is your opportunity for undercover journalism.Write the book version of your blog, but actually filled with “facts”. It’ll be on par with Günter Wallraff’s work AND you’ll actually make good money.
My 3 favorite cards, CSP, CSP and CSP. Why? The card makes me feel hard.

“The card makes me feel hard”
LOL
The mes in Greece is a product 40 years in the making. It won’t be fixed anytime soon. First, the people must change and as you are seeing…this is not happening.
I am getting some euros from a German ATM before flying there…just in case 🙂
