I will check it out, thanks.

Just rolled into town after yet another superb stay at the Thessaloniki Hyatt Regency.
Taking mom to the hospital for a checkup on the new Hip. It is the same place where myngather never came out from back in 2009…so I have weird emotions when I enter that place.

Blog had the lowest traffic in a very long time last week. Decided to turn on the TBB Instagram account and posted some great stuff imho and just 21 followers only. I need to seriously get it through my thick head that I am just not cut out to make it online and give it up. It is depressing and the few conversions here and there are not even paying the bills while I keep turning away a crazy # of prospects willing to pay me in the first year more than I made in this blog in many years! I feel like a moron and need help, Bloggers Anonymous chapters out there?
I should have quit like you did, this is not sustainable.

Hope you and your mom are doing okay. Interesting post about mental health here–the kids are not doing too well: https://www.afterbabel.com/p/youth-health-declines-82-countries

Burned 53,000 Hilton points for 1 night at the Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa.
Then I attempted to apply one of my Hyatt Globalist Suite upgrades to the Hua Hin Hyatt Regency and I was told, nope. But I could pay cash or use points for 4 ouf of the seven suite types available. I am starting to regret going for Globalist again smh.

Wow! Tons of good stuff again! Thanks so much! I hope your trip to Greece goes smoothly and that your Mom is gonna be doing well! Health stuff is a tough thing and as for me, I am unwillingly hoarding points right now since I have way too many damned Doctors to go see over the last few months. Hoping for an escape in September or October though!

That Mass shooter’s mom thing…. wow.

That story on the mass shooter, nice to read some in depth journalism focussed on the subject and not trying to sensationalise. Interesting reading but concerning when you realise how many kids are growing up with social insecurities due to staying online all the time.

Good job on the burning. I say burn when you can, and buy when you can’t tolerate any of the options available for points. Hyatt Cat 7 – what about 7Pines Ibiza? Can see you out there head banging in the night clubs all night. I looked at list and saw there are so few which was probably why none sprang to mind. Good prompt on Vienna as will aim to use husband’s there. Sacrilege I know, but last few years we have been redeeming it at Cat 5 and below as struggle to be in the right location for a worthwhile Cat 7.

In reply to FullMoon. Just can not picture Budapest like that, I need to visit to verify :-) You spend a lot of time time in Europe. Any MUST stay Hyatts I can blow a Cat 7 cert? Than can be combined with an easier flight path to Detroit for my return? Everyone raves about the Vienna Park Hyatt but I am just not feeling it.

In reply to DML.

Yeah, I need to make my posts shorter! I keep saying it and they are getting longer instead.

With your help, this blog sold 3 cards month to date. Still have not received a dime from second card vendor as I am in the probation period. I need to take some drastic action you guys. I have also been saying this for years, sad lol.

You are nor wrong about that, I am sure it is coming right after “Best 7 credit cards for funerals” or something like that. Thank God no more reviews of the Delta ham sandwiches for a while lol.

Yep, Budapest has a lively nightlife scene. Szimpla Kert (Simple Garden) is one of the best bars on the planet. Buzz, I can easily see you dancing the night away to some of the quirky bands that can be found in the small live band room within the massive place. Hungarian beer is cheap and good. Follow that up with a bite from the food trucks at Street Food Karavan a few steps away.
IMHO pub crawling in Budapest is a fine bucket list item.
Pity that the Hungarian government is so craptastic.
