Excellent post: My Experience of Being Stopped at the Airport as a Muslim Traveler by Muslim Travel Girl.
At last, justice! Man Arrested for Not Returning VHS Tape 14 Years Ago. He deserved it! He rented Tom Green’s god awful movie “Freddy Got Fingered”. It should have been a felony – LOL!
Your personal finance fix of the day. Goes on a different direction, you need to know: The Fight and Lies Against Fiduciary. Fight back against these people, they are not looking out for YOUR best interest. Oh yeah, that applies to your favorite Titan bloggers as well!
The Doomsday Seed Vault near North Pole. It has 850,000 seeds!
I was sad to hear the news of the death of my favorite football player of all time: Johan Cruyff. As a kid my nickname was Toothpick. Then I started kicking the ball around and it was changed to Cruyff because I was skinnier than him and also played like him. My first idol. I wanted to become a professional player to be like him, injuries cut my legend a little bit short 🙂 RIP Johan, a true legend. Oh, also quit smoking! Here is a great video about him. Yes, I wear #14 in the latest segment of my career with a bunch of over 40 year has beens in my “Gasping For Air” team lol.

Some thoughts about that 5/24 and once per lifetime punitive rules that threaten to terminate our species…
Finally, that Forward card is renamed Backward.
I am enjoying this well written series by Travel Codex:
How to Book Alaska Mileage Plan Award Tickets
Fees, Taxes, and Surcharges on Alaska Mileage Plan Awards
Fees, Taxes, and Surcharges on American AAdvantage Awards
Costco former cardholders, here are the details of the transition to the new card. Thank God it has no FU initials like that other one…
And so says the Travel Thought Leader. Who wondered about this yesterday. And then proceeded to pummel his readers with more SPG and Hilton cards. I guess HURRY is not as good…so we now use FINAL to help conversions WTF! And lets feature these posts as well! Ok, I better stop…and go eat some grapes!
These guys are running out of catchy phrases to sell their merchandise it appears. “If you’re on the fence”…Wow, really? #weak Ok, really, wrapping this up.
Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone. And to all the Titans, happy credit card selling, you never stop!
And I leave you with this…

Good stuff today. Easter silver
Buzz-
Here’s a good one. Ben is planning to build his 2016 Peru trip around 3 Stawood resorts. Won’t exactly get him in touch with the local culture but it does hint that maybe the 35k sign-up bonuses will be around for a while. I wonder if he’ll turn right or left to get to his room as he gets off the elevator? Maybe Ford will be there to help him decide.
Sam, maybe he is going to up the ante and not have to turn right or left—that happens when you have a private elevator to your suite.
What’s for damn sure is that he won’t be doing the 4 or 6 day Inca trail. No hot nuts served there.
Congrats to all the imaginary medal winners 🙂
@jakobv84: Thanks. I do not phone it in here like some Titans hehe.
@ Sam and bluecat: Starwood resorts? Care to guess how many SPG links he will throw into readers’ faces in them? Mon dieu!
@ramsey: Oh man, that’s so true about texting these days!
@ Scott: Yep, read it but not in time to feature in today’s Buzz post. It will likely make the next one. Some of the comments are WTF material, wow!
Buzz…. a gift for you…..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlUleJ6fv1w
Hey a blog post worth reading. http://travelsummary.com/traveling-as-a-muslim-is-the-worst/
Oh, look, ill-informed a-holes in the comments! How great!
Damn Trump voters have infiltrated travel hacking blogs.

If a Jawa sand crawler somehow got stuck in a snow storm on Hoth… that would be the Doomsday Seed Vault.
