Register for this great Hyatt 10% points back if you have the Hyatt Visa card. Great timing for us as we will get back 2,400 points from two award nights at the Hyatt Centric The Pike at Long Beach!
Good Wyndham Rewards promo to earn 15,000 points (free night in ANY Wyndham) with two stays using Masterpass. You MUST follow all details to pay for this promo. Because Wyndham is not the more reliable company to stick with its promises, okay?
A decent AA online shopping promo if you were going to shop anyway…
This is good info to know: Keep these things in mind when booking a Marriott Hotel with Bank Points. No points to be earned this way but Marriott does recognize your elite status.
And you thought selling credit cards could not get worse! United flight attendants to earn $100 per credit card sold. Yikes. Still looking for the first one this month #drought #orisitsomethingelsegoingon?
I did make a few changes in the list of travel rewards credit cards available with my links. I added a 70,000 Amex Platinum Delta Skymiles and a United 40,000 Visa among others. Is this the spot where I add exclamation marks? š
If you ignore the obvious sponsoring stuff in this video, there are some amazing facts in it! The geography of the US is weirder than you think.
The accumulated history of US Immigration in one stunning graphic, wow!
Some interesting facts about Tim Horton’s in this article: What happened to Tim Hortons? The downfall of Canada’s brand.
Another fantastic insider story about the beginnings of Google, wow! āGoogle Was Not a Normal Placeā: Brin, Page, and Mayer on the Accidental Birth of the Company that Changed Everything.
The cutest video you will see all week, especially if you have a dog. I guaranteed it or your money back! It is very short, just click it!
This guy is really something! Watch Sacha Baron Cohen Trick Republicans Into Supporting Guns for Toddlers Program. I still think my fav character of his is Ali G š
What a majestic photo, WOW! Setting Sun Turns Ice Cave in Iceland IntoĀ Amber.
Travel photographer Sarah Bethea captured this breathtaking photo last winter in Iceland of a setting sunās golden rays entering an ice cave and turning a section of the caveās ice amber. The picture was taken at the Treasure Island Caves which is located on the Vatnajƶkull glacier. To see more of Sarahās amazing travel photography, check her out on Instagram at @sarah.bethea
Some great pictures here: Northern Irelandās Marble Arch Caves & Why You Should Know About UNESCO Geoparks.
What huge differences, wow! What Prison Cells Look Like Around The World.
I may have played this song before for you guys but here it is:
I always sing along with it and it always makes me emotional since I heard it the first time…
I swear the Amazon Prime mania was ALL over the blogs yesterday, Jeeeesus! Especially at DansDeals #outofcontrol. I hope I break three digits this month in my Amazon link lol.
I was sent an invite to the Chicago Seminars. Sponsor is Million Mile Secrets. DON’T YOU EVER INVITE ME EVER AGAIN OKAY?????
Announcement: I am hosting a party at my house this Friday night for the 2018 Ann Arbor Art Fair DO attendees. Comment below or PM me on Flyertalk (gpapadop). I am first announcing it here to see who reads my blog. I blow most of my blog revenue in this party, something about giving back or something like that. Due to popular demand I will say no to ones who are late to RSVP, sorry!
All the travel arrangements are now complete for our trip to the Bay Area next month! Looks like going with Sixt rental cars for the first time. I happen to be a Platinum from some matching a long time ago I think. If you are in Sunnyvale, Santa Monica or Long Beach I should have some time to meet or will try to make time. One of the things about my blog is the ability to make millions connect with you!
I receive daily emails to help me make money off you! Yesterday I received one that went something like this:
“Hey, I found your blog in one of my searches for mom blogs [Me: WTF, really?????]. But I like your content and thought to contact you to see if you are interested in our lamps. We sell great lamps and would love to send you one for you to review. No obligation and you can keep the lamp [Me thinking: But if you say one bad thing about our lamp I will get you blacklisted mfer!] And let me know if you want to become our affiliate so you can make 15% on every lamp sold through your site”. I.Pressed.Delete.Button. I only promote stuff I like and use myself here!
One awesome thing I do use is ExpressVPN (Affiliate Link). I use it in my desktop, my laptop and my phone. So I can post sneaky comments in blogs without being traced lol. Seriously, I love it! You can never be too careful with so many Russian and North Korean hackers out there!
I could not help it but the last two days of the Trump freak show have been too much!
And I leave you with this…

First from the German seaside! No chains here.
The Tim Horton link was good to have. Thank you.
Bronze and would LOVE to come to your party, but it’s a long ways from NW WA State! I’ll be there in spirit, though!
Carl, we need to form a PacNW committee to get Buzz out to visit our neck of the woods.
Buzz, thought you might come out to Portland a couple of years ago…what happened to that idea? We donāt bite! (Well, I canāt speak for Ramsey)
That ice cave pic is awesome!!
Interesting story about Tim Horton’s. I do love their doughnuts, though I haven’t had it as often since the wife got food poisoning from a Tim Horton’s. So it’s only when I’m out solo that I stop by. I’m not a big coffee drinker so can’t comment on that.
You sure that’s a prison cell and not a Spirit airlines cabin?
And the Tim Hortons article was a very late addition to it and almost did not make it at all!
Weird how the reaction about some articles surprise me here.
Yeah, I was thinking about Portland one day…But I will likely be going back to Greece again…So my travel patterns have been interrupted…
And need to find a way to end this blogging thing gracefully.
In the meantime, my daughter thinks posting once a day in Instagram is spamming. WTF!!!
Enjoy this baby while it lasts…
7 mile early am run. Broke previous best time by 4 minutes, WOW! But my day has been interrupted including taking a short nap š
I’m surprised I’ve never seen this map on TBB:

That is really funny, thanks!
Buzz-
I saw your wife on with Tucker Carlson last night. Sheās very well spoken but I kept wonderong āWhere are the credit cards?ā. She could have had a hair pin made out of a Cap One card or something.
Maybe I should talk to her agent and propose a credit card modeling contract to her? If Emily can sell thousands, she can sell millions š
Just booked trip back to PHL in mid October for a conference.
George, just got the new Hyatt card through your link. 2nd card through your link in last year. Really appreciate your candor.
Great, thank you. For some reason, I see clicks but no actual conversions the whole month…something must be wrong, techie stuff on their end. But good info to know so I can bug them with actual info on click/approval!
Couple of things. There’s a Tim Hortons in the White Plains NY Metro North station. I can pick you up at HPN if you make it back east.
I’ve been to your neck of the woods about 12 years ago. I’d love to return if BikeGuys DO fit into my schedule. Hint for new folks > go to Zingerman’s. You can google it.
Last? š
