There are many places to eat on Paradise Island or on the main island of Nassau in the Bahamas, but none come with quite the storied history, let alone wine cellar of the Graycliff Mansion. So we couldn’t resist when one of the members of our party had the bright idea of dinning in the…
There is a renewed interest in the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs due to the recent category downgrade with Hyatt’s reward chart. Previously I mentioned this is one of Hyatt’s best kept secrets, so I was surprised and yet at the same time excited to see it downgraded. New Award Chart Changes…

Almost half of our close extended family just got off a US Airways First Class flight. For some, it was their first, First Class flight (Baby Weekly Flyer), for others, it was their first US Airways First Class flight (Toddler Weekly Flyer). For me, it was a long over due return to US Airways First Class.…
Here comes Delta with another huge Sky Club enhancement. This time it’s a good one and a true game changer. The average Delta business traveler (based on my scientific first hand knowledge) gets up early in the morning, catches an Uber or drives to the airport, and heads to the Sky Club lounge. Currently, most…
It’s hard for me to turn down breakfast on the road. So when I get an interesting breakfast option while traveling, I usually just give it a try. First there was the excellent Delta First Class Omelette and then they enhanced breakfast options in the Sky Clubs like the Atlanta T SkyClub. And for road trips, my personal…
Late last year Delta announced they will be flying their new Flat Bed Business Elite seats between LAX and New York. These seats look awesome for domestic travel let alone short haul international travel. Sadly I haven’t flown them yet. But that may change today as I’m flying on a 757-200. To date, I’ve only…
Mrs, Weekly Flyer and I stopped for 1 night in San Francisco on our way up to Napa. After a long flight from Atlanta to San Francisco we arrived very late to the W Hotel and crashed knowing that we had one quick activity the next morning before picking up our rental car and heading…
As I was writing my post yesterday, Quick, Cheap and Easy Recipes for the Road Warrior, I started to think of my general health. I try to run 4-5 miles a day and eat as healthy as possible while traveling. Despite these efforts, it’s important to remember that we all run the risk of having something…
I’m not gonna lie – I was spoiled at a 5-star luxury resort last week. I reviewed it here. But when I really thought about it, it was easy to pick out the top 10 items that I loved about the the things in the room – other than the gorgeous furnishing and scenery. I…
The Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas is a 5-star luxury beach resort in Abu Dhabi nestled along the pristine beaches of Saadiyat Island, just about 25 minutes from the Abu Dhabi International Airport. It opened in November 2011 with 306 spacious guestrooms with private balconies, including 39 suites all with ocean, garden or…
One of the best parts of the flight is the take off. On a busy day there can be a long line to take off at the world’s busiest airport. Not today though. We pulled up and were first in line. Then not much longer we were rolling down the runway passing several planes that…
This past week I had my very first In-N-Out burger in an unusual place. The city of Las Vegas has more celebrity chef restaurants than just about any city, but that didn’t stop us from jumping in a cab for a mid-evening In-N-Out burger. The In-N-Out burger restaurant is a very short taxi ride across…
Booking my flight to Las Vegas in Delta First Class was an easy choice. I knew I’d get a large seat, good food, plenty of drinks and great service. The choice was easy. Delta 767 First Class To Las Vegas I had dinner and drinks with MJ on Travel at One Flew South before heading…
Flying back from Vegas at 35,000 feet and getting an aerial view of the Grand Canyon while having a choice of Calzone or Salmon really puts things into perspective. Flying in an airplane, especially with Delta is always and amazing experience. After a bit of gazing out the Airplane window, and seeing a United Jet…
Leaving Las Vegas we turned east and started to head back to Atlanta. As we passed Lake Mead and approached the Grand Canyon, I pulled out my iPhone 5s to snap a few photos. The pictures below are from the left side of the plane, which for our flight, gave us an aerial view of…
The Delano Las Vegas is a boutique hotel at the busy Mandalay Bay casino. It’s connected to the same Casino but it couldn’t be farther from the noise and hustle. The hotel had its grand opening on Thursday and we had the pleasure of attending the opening party. Delano Las Vegas Grand Opening VIP Party Upon arrival…
I recently had a chance to visit the Amex Centurion Lounge in Las Vegas. The lounge is one of three lounges currently open with two more on the way. Las Vegas Amex Centurion Lounge Where Are The Lounges • Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (Concourse D, opposite Gate D1) • Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (Terminal…
The Delta Sky Club in Atlanta’s terminal T is one of my favorite places to visit for a quick snack and drink before a flight. I’ve been in here a number of times solo or with the entire family including Baby Weekly Flyer. Each time I always come across a new snack assortment and today…
The E terminal in Hartsfield International Airport has a nice little Sky Club. This Sky Club used to be one of the old Business Elite lounges, hen it got remodeled, with nice showers to boot! The shower section is towards the back of the lounge and actually has a separate entrance. Today, the shower entrance…
