Okay team, I need suggestions for a babymoon destination in Sep or Oct. Zika is harshing my mellow. Have a plethora of Alaska, SPG, MR and UR to work with.
Canary Islands.

Thank you,

Check out her site, she has trip reports from the Canary Islands.
Checked out the trip report, thanks! Definitely adding to the short list.
The picture of the guy destroying the galley reminds me of a passenger we had that went nuts in one because we did not have their Kosher meal. True story…………..
There were no cell phones back then with cameras? ๐
correct, a time before the invention of the cell phone….I was laughing too hard to take a picture anyway. This was kicking all the galley meal containers and then landed up on her back laying in the galley with her feet flailing to prevent us from continuing our service….unreal
99 Accounts on your Award Wallet, well done!
The link to RapidTraelChai for 6 different Platinum cards, I was all excited to learn about a new one, but that Goldman Sachs always gets me… oh the one that I cannot get, that lonely 1 Platinum card. Doh! Oh well, Charles Schwab was a nice touch this year.
Thank you for blogging, I am enjoying your fourth year of posts.
Cheers,
PedroNY
Severa;/many are defunct. I am still cleaning them up. Let 2k Aegean expire, opened new one with 1k free, will likely expire as well too!
Thanks. Hard to believe I am still doing this. Actually, it is just insane!
The anonymous comments is me…TBB…for free!
UPDATE:
Leaving early Tuesday am for a conference for the rest of the week!
After having a $2 pulled pork sandwich at Old Carolina BBQ for lunch (all day today!) I threw my laptop backpack over my shoulder like I have done a million times. But I somehow missed! And it dropped. I knew that was not good news…
So I opened it and it is cracked big time. It does not recognize battery. After a few close and opens it will be broken for sure! It STILL WORKS as I have it plugged in now. Do you think (assuming it can open and close) I can get a few more days out of it while I have it plugged in?
I bought it with an Amex card, not sure if it was the Platinum or the Starwood (since closed). Any feedback on that warranty thingie, has anyone done it? What can I get? Do I have time?
Why me Lord, why me? And why now?
Amex is pretty good with the warranty . . . as long as you are within the time frame and have read the fine print of exclusions.
Yeah, them exclusions ๐
I will look at it when I get back, it is time to pack!
I was able to get the 50k aa miles after 4 written complaints and a couple phone calls. It didn’t come to this, but I was completely willing to close out all of my citi cards because of being pissed off at how they dealt with it.
Oh yea, Citi pissing off customers is pretty much a given…Someone at Reddit calls it Shittibank

Dan’s got Squatty Pottys for under $20:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/88081
It’s this kind of investigative work that’ll make blogging great again.
-The Squatty Potty may feel different at first, but the body quickly adjusts and the new healthy way of eliminating quickly becomes second nature. For most people, the difference is immediate while for some it takes about a week to adjust, relax and get things moving.
Dan is a natural salesman….This sounds like a must buy product! ๐
