I’ve never been so happy to see our bags show up – I honestly thought they were gone for the duration on the trip – I can finally resume jumping jacks and roundhouse kicks without fear of ripping!

The Spouse and Upgrades debate
When it comes to my travel, I like to plan a lot ahead. I like to pick the best seats, the best hotels, the best flights, the best restaurants, and the best places to see while traveling. I’m also a hoarder of miles and points and to some extent pretty selfish about it. I always…
The Cruise is half over
We’re half way done with our cruise. The staff has been extremely nice, the accommodations have been top notch, but I’m realizing that cruising isn’t our style. I’ll have a full write up after we’re done of the pluses and minuses plus some money saving tips for those of you taking this particular line. Our…
Sky Club in Atlanta
One of the benefits of the Platinum American Express is lounge access and so we’re sitting at the Sky Club by Chili’s in Atlanta. I’m very impressed with this Sky Club – plenty of seating, nice assortment of snacks, and overall very comfortable. On to Miami!
Cruising in the Caribbean
I have an upcoming cruise to the Caribbean and I’m feeling a little out of my element. I’m not really quite sure what to expect. I understand that there are people that go on cruises as much as I fly and that there’s a whole subculture with cruising as well. There’s even a Flyertalk like…

Pictures from the lounge area.…
Hilton Bahamas responds to my feedback
After my stay at the Hilton Bahamas, I received an email from Hilton Honors to fill out a survey about my stay. I filled it out honestly telling them that I felt that the entire hotel staff was a bit surly and pretty bothered by doing anything for their customers. I didn’t make any demands…
Two different ways of customer service
I am in the Bahamas and had the opportunity to stay at both the Hilton Nassau and at the Atlantis resort. I stayed at the Hilton Nassau on points as a Diamond member. Two weeks before our arrival, I called the hotel to inform them that we would need a crib in our room. When…
A great start to our trip
We were upgraded to first class as the last two seats available on the redeye to Atlanta. I feared that our infant would cry the whole time, but she slept the whole way. It was a much better experience than we would have fared in row 42. The terminal was packed with people. It looked…
