They tell me that is where the money is but we don’t like to do things purely for the money around here. We ‘ll get to it…some day!
Another kind of slow day. Most exciting news was the huge change in the relations between USA and Cuba announced by President Obama. I am very excited about this as it will eventually open Cuba way up to us to travel to! And I love Cuban music!
Starwood SPG will offer free internet to all SPG members! And as Golds we get the “fast” version. Sure hope the slow version is not dial up lol!
CONFIRMED: Hilton HHonors Introducing Lifetime Diamond Status In Early 2015 – Loyalty Lobby Nice to see but a little late in the game Hilton? You are becoming the Cartera of hotels, come on!
The Vanilla Reload cards would be totally dead after April 1st, 2015. Like the dollar coins with the US Mint, they will be missed. RIP!
Singapore Airlines Suites Class Mega-Review – Andy’s Travel Blog This blog has awesome quality pictures!
Sky Canyons – The Adventure Blog Trippy timelapse video. Turn off the lights, sit back, push play and enjoy!
The Winners of the 2014 National Geographic Photo Contest – Twisted Sifter Must click imho!
The Most Amazing Science Images Of 2014 – io9 These are beyond awesome. “Last Chance” to see them….sorry, got carried away there for a moment, too much time on Feedly and pumping blogs!
Get all the tax breaks you can – Fidelity Viewpoints Pretty good summary of tax breaks.

Firstest!
2nd is the best!
Tres!
It will alway be Sears tower.
Cuba on Avios! This has to happen.
And as for the Buena Vista Social Club, I loves me some Ibrahim Ferrer. Did you know he collaborated with Damon Albarn on the first Gorillaz album?

The three at the podium deserve it!
Love Ibrahim Ferrer, what a voice! Got to see the Buena Vista Social Club live in Ann Arbor years ago, took wife in third row. One of the best concert I attended, I still get goose bumps about it. I can’t wait to go to Cuba. I can use my Greek passport but I am afraid some TBB “fan” will report me to the State Dept 🙂 Great video too, gracias!
i agree with Kumar
I would be visibly disturbed if you did not agree with Kumar!
Was told by another traveler that many US fly to Cuba now through Cancun. I was told Cuba will nicely not stamp a US passport. Go now before the Havana McDonalds and Starbuckses!
Oh yeah, ¡Siete! (grant should be disqualified for not writing ¡uno!)
I can always use my Greek passport. But I am afraid someone will report me as I am not a fan of “educational group” or what other schemes are used to travel there legitimately these days 🙂
I believe that I have “scooped” Loyalty Lobby on Hilton HHonors offering lifetime Diamond VIP status, George…

Enjoy — and I hope that you had a great trip!
Oops you are right, sorry about that. It happens to me too…like a lot 🙂
Read the other one, that guy sounds like, well, a piece of work!
He does…
…which causes me to wonder: what if one of your readers decided to run for Congress after the comments posted here at TravelBloggerBuzz; and what if TravelBloggerBuzz became involuntarily embroiled in some political scandal?
I await your thoughtful response…
Ramsey will be toast for sure LOL
These SQ suites trip reports are so boring. I am waiting to read the “I got laid with a hot chick in an SQ suite” report, complete with video and pix, then I might start reading this shit again
I am pretty sure the porn industry is working on a “Banging at The Residence aboard Etihad” or “Dim Sum orgy aboard a SQ Suites flight” LOL
