Largest Room On The Strip – Luxury Suite At Palazzo Las Vegas
The Palazzo Las Vegas hotel & resort is among the tallest buildings in Nevada. But that fact doesn’t set it apart.

How I Joined The Mile High Club

But this story has a happy ending, I assure you. The day set out with an adventurous spirit. We arrived with a group of friends for…
Aloha from Maui
Some destinations never get old. I try to get to Hawaii once every year using either cheap west coast fares, free one ways from AA awards, or avios short haul awards from LAX.

Road Trip – Small Town Breakfast At Cracker Barrel
There is something refreshing about taking a road trip through small town America. Looking for a place to eat breakfast couldn’t be easier.

Road Trip – Small Town Breakfast At Waffle House
Yes, this is a review of Waffle House’s waffles. We’ve done plenty of breakfast reviews from Park Hyatt hotels courtesy of Hyatt Diamond status. We figured why stop there.

Aloft To Asia – Singapore Business Class From Singapore To Seoul
I boarded flight 608 from Singapore to Seoul very much looking to stretching out in Singapore Air’s large, comfy Business Class seats. During my flight from Seoul to Singapore, I felt like two people could have sat in the seat, so I thought I’d get a full 5 or 6 hour rest before arriving in…
Aloft To Asia – Singapore Air Business Class Lounge
