Petronas Towers, Malaysia, 2007  It was kind of a slow day. At the least, I was very slow as I can hardly move around with my leg injury. Very slow progress. It allowed me the opportunity to be all over my Google Reader feed yesterday! Still looking for questions, comment below or email me […]

    The blogosphere exploded with activity yesterday! Not much was going on over the weekend and then boom, come Monday morning my Google Reader feeds just kept coming at me all day long!  Lots of good stuff to feature here, so here we go! READER QUESTION: Is it a bubble? We live in […]

Things really slow way down in the blogoshpere over the weekend, especially this one!  We have just a few items that we felt worthy of including and commenting here in our little blog. Our blog’s size, compared to the big time bloggers, is a rounding error. Do we care about that? Absolutely not! We like having a […]

Trip to Moorea Island, Tahiti/French Polynesia 2004 Yeah, 2004!Daraius & Emily were in High School:-)     Yesterday, in my totally uninformed, increasingly irrelevant and sometimes humble opinion, was one of the slowest days in the miles/points blogosphere! Therefore, I am taking the opportunity to go over my notes from Frequent Traveler University FTU in […]

Buy? You mean it is not Free??   It must be a slow day in the blogosphere. I wonder why? Me thinks it is because bloggers are too busy counting all the app money rolling in from the alarming Southwest credit card expiring links! Bad guess? Who cares, it is my blog and I can […]

 Vanilla We are still trying to get over that award we won the other day. That was a day that will live in infamy! Especially when we have the thankless task of reviewing all the other travel blogs. What was the main theme yesterday? Well, what else…yet another day that yet another credit card’s affiliate […]

Not impressed by this award!  We can not believe it! We were so sure that our fans will help us win the “Best Blog” category in the first annual “If Chris Elliott Can Do IT Anyone Can” contest. The results were announced yesterday by Points Envy. Incredibly, we won the “Best Pusher of Credit […]

Fog over Detroit River  My travel back from FTU was quite an adventure! I redeemed 12,500 United miles for the red eye LAX to IAD and then was going to catch a short flight to DTW. After waiting on the plane for almost an hour, we returned to the gate. Cause=Fog in Detroit. The […]

Frequent Flyer University is over in Los Angeles! A crazy weekend surrounded by a bunch of miles/points obsessed lunatics! We feel so at home being surrounded by lunatics, woohoo!  As a veteran I realized going in that there would not be too many new things to learn. The best part about these conferences is the […]
