It was a very slow weekend in the blogs…
A review of the new Costco card.
You think you have it bad because that one time you did not get PRE-check? You should then read Traveling as a Muslim is the Worst. This post by Travel Summary has attracted some ridiculously embarrassing comments, wow!
Must read post by The Bohemian Blog: A Tourist in Pyongyang. I am a sucker about all things North Korean I guess 🙂
A woman lived in the Plaza for 35 years for $500 rent per month!
The 19 unhappiest countries in the world. Burundi beats Syria!
How to trick your mind to be happier. Interesting read. So, here it is how: “Focus your attention at one thing at a time”.
Do you not itemize tax deductions on your tax return? You can still claim these “above the line” deductions.
Sad Affleck. This is bad but I could not resist. Can’t wait for the haters to beat me up for being so angry lol.
I am out of travel links/pics so here is one of us

The Easter holiday brought the blogosphere into a huge slowdown.
You can book your Hyatt anniversary free night online.
I got back in touch with humanity at my local Wal-Mart attempting to use my only remaining Bluebird. It was a no go so I changed my MO 🙂
It got so boring over the weekend…Of course the pumping never stops…Not sure why Randy attacked me…if it was him. To my haters! I expressed myself and I still get grief! Don’t talk to me about democracy and all that jazz and then bitch at me for expressing what so many are thinking AND not keeping it quiet! I think it is about education and someone needs to do PSAs because some newbies will actually think that “credit is their most important asset” lol.
And I leave you with this…

Great photo with Mrs. Buzz (or should I say Ms. Buzz?).
Was that at a Hyatt or a Hilton?
First, perhaps.
Thanks. Not sure where it is. Gold.
Second for OC. Thanks for linking to my Hyatt post.
Sure,invoice is in the mail. What did you think man…Did this blog thing without a real business model? 🙂
What the locals call “semana santa” – allegedly a week of religious observations and celebrations – is over. Personally I call it “semana insanity” because the government shuts down, 85% of the country heads for the beach, the celebrations involve consuming mass quantities of adult beverages (not that THAT is a bad thing), and the trash left behind seriously puts the lie to the claim of being an “eco-paradise”.
Pump that!
Nice looking couple, the Buzzers…
Silver. Maybe not — too much early Monday venting…
That Grant sneaked in and got your silver. I am going to add shipping to his invoice AND sales tax to teach him a lesson, haha.
Thanks. Orthodox Easter is like a month later. There will be lamb!
Thanks for the link to Sad Affleck I haven’t laughed that hard in months
Yeah, who ever did that….epic. The choice of the song was just…perfect!
The Chinese Anusbangit counter offer for Starwood:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-28/starwood-says-anbang-group-made-revised-proposal-for-82-75-share
how much deeper, er I mean higher, will Anusbang go? they are pretty large and SPG sure has aroused them
Someobody woke up with a morning glory
Behave you guys
Developing folks…
Had a great dim sum with Big Habitat and his family yesterday. He has had some experience with the Anbang Group in his business. He called them “it is the North Korea of the insurance world”. Not sure these guys will be better for Marriott….Oh, screw it. We know what we get from Marriott. At least with Anbang the Starwood will survive…initially that is.
The Starwood execs are making out like bandits here, WOW!
Big Habitat is the Idi Amin of metaphor makers.
What does this mean? Does this mean that Anbang is not transparent in their dealings, that they treat their customers poorly, or that they have labor camps?
Genuinely curious to know the answer here.
Very unpredictable company. Its leader is as unpredictable and eccentric as the Great Leader himself. Plays big. Some risks they insure are untouchable by other insurance companies. Transparency not the strongest point. Frankly, I am starting to have doubts…as with most Chinese companies ya just never know what lies underneath 🙂 Gets back to lesser evil I guess. We know what we get with Marriott. We don’t know what we get with Anbang which has stated they intend to keep the Starwood brand. So…I hope they win it and we can move on instead of having Marriott methodically sticking the knife to us over the coming year or two..
Or maybe we wait until some travel thought leader tells us what will happen lol.
Dim sum for Easter? Now that’s multi-cultural…
When is Greek Easter, Buzz? Not that there’s anywhere to get a decent leg of lamb around here — or any decent Greek food but it might be worth a trip north to The Homeland …
There will be lamb!
Buzz keeps scooping the Titans on the chase for Starwood. I mean Amex for Starwood. Or somethin’.
I am not a leader in anything involving my thoughts…or something like that 🙂
One more to feed the bloggers…

TBB brought in 61 cents yesterday…Amazing, just amazing I haven’t said phuck it yet as so many others have said so (looking at Drew…)
Any post that ends with Red Panda is full of WIN!
Winners only here!
Looking good Buzz.
1 out of 1,000 pics comes out okay for me. I never got along with the camera!
