Five months ago I returned from a 2.5 week trip throughout South East Asia. I loved the trip and culture so much that I knew I wanted to see more in Asia, even before the Cathay Pacific 777 touched down in the US. I have a ‘book now and figure it out later’ mentality when…

Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Martini Follow-up
I blogged earlier about my recent weekend trip to the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. As we all know, no trip to Beaver Creek (or Colorado in general) is complete without visiting at least 5-7 Colorado Microbreweries. I was only able to partake in an underachieving 4 Colorado micro-brews last weekend, but as a Martini Follow-up,…
Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Hotel Review

Releasing My Returns – Points And Miles Game
Readers have called on me to release my returns for a while, so I’m releasing them just like Mitt Romney. But I’m not running for anything, except maybe just a mile or two. In an effort to provide transparency and allow readers to follow along as points and miles are earned, I’m releasing my points…

More ridiculousness at the Park Hyatt Tokyo
Silly me, I absentmindedly left an unattended wireless mouse out this morning at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. I returned this evening after housekeeping service to find they had placed a mouse pad next to my lonely mouse. Did the hotel cleaning staff really send someone downstairs to remedy the situation upon discovering this rogue mouse…
Diamond Breakfast over Tokyo
This is what it is all about. The grand daddy of award redemptions. Years spent analyzing (obsessing over) points, miles and status paid off in an especially big way this time around. I checked in last night at the Park Hyatt Tokyo and was upgraded to a stunning 1000 square foot Park Suite King perched…

The Hyatt at 48 Lex in New York is not only one of Hyatt’s newest properties, but also one of the only non-Hyatt owned properties.
