Wall Street Journal‘s Scott McCartney reviews the hotel programs. Interesting piece but take it with a ton of salt that Marriott Rewards is the best. The high speed internet speed in the Courtyard Indianapolis Downtown reminds me of my dial up days from 25 years ago!
Loyalty Traveler does a comprehensive 9 hotel booking comparison. Location? London.
Amol at Travel Codex reports that AA.com now supports British Airways Avios PNRs. Finally, hooray!
Crazy video of a freerunner in the rooftops of Santorini!
Matador Network shows us 28 experiences to have in the Pacific Northwest before you die.
Well, you can make a killing if you are a funeral director in San Salvador, El Salvador!
Fantastic work on this piece: “The Ultimate 1929 Stock Market Comparison“.
The most bizarre restaurants in the world. Wow, some of these are crazy!

Wives of the world’s biggest dictators. My favorites are Kim’s and Assad’s wife, nice job you guys! Oh shit, NSA is knocking on my door, long live Snowden lol!

This is the bunker where billionaires will go to escape the apocalypse. Looks expensive you guys lol.

Dictators indeed.
Back on top.
Assad’s wife, wow!
Second. With the BA change I’d guess I’ll never visit Finnair’s website again.
Yep, about to delete that bookmark. Lately I was using that Jordanian airline website
Indianapolis!
I came, I saw and I left!
A set of Cabbages and Condoms china is among my prized possessions. I’m really surprised this Robot Restaurant in Tokyo didn’t make the list. Granted, they aren’t the waiters, but it’s the weirdest place I’ve ever eaten! https://saverocity.com/thedealmommy/2015/07/26/tokyo-robot-restaurant-review/
I think Ramsey will pummel me due to the toilet pics, so help me please 🙂
Didn’t read everything yet, but I like the post on London hotels. It is fairly comprehensive, and for me it underlines the important point that getting to a destination is one thing, but accommodations in London and Paris and so forth, can be expensive.
That toilet restaurant reminds me, isn’t there some French movie which takes place in a large dining room where members of the upper class are seated on toilets ? OK sorry to bring it up but you started it.

Every time I look at that APR loan cartoon I can’t stop laughing!
TOILET RESTAURANT??? that does it buzz! no soup for you!

Time out: I thought our deal was only about hotel toilet pics. #tryingtoweaseloutofit
