What to pack? Vibram FiveFingers
I’ve been suffering from plantar fasciitis for a few months before I finally figured out what it was. I bought a night brace (thanks to SkyMall for teaching me all about PF treatments) and got some relief, but all of my shoes kept bothering my heel after a while, even with orthotics. I kept reading…
Is there a future for supersonic travel?
I’m too young and not French/British so I don’t really remember Concorde. Apparently Concorde was doomed for several reasons including noise, fuel cost, and the crash. Going from London or Paris to NYC in just a few short hours became a thing of the past since regardless of the crash, we still couldn’t get over…
Vacation, just what the traveler needs
I must admit that I feel more comfortable in a hotel bed than my own some times. For my vacation you’d think it would make sense to do a staycation, but instead I decided to hit up the capitals of Europe. Even though the weekly travel grind is just that…a grind, it is still an…
Hilton Budapest (Castle Area)
I had the opportunity to stay at the Hilton Budapest during my trip. The location is great for tourists since it is right in the middle of the Castle Area (which has no castle) but does have amazing views of the Danube. Getting there was easy enough since the confirmation stated to get on bus…

Fun in Berlin
I’m on vacation right now staying at the Holiday Inn Express Berlin City Centre. I booked a 2 bed room on Priority club points for 25,000 points per night. Since I was looking to minimize out-of-pocket expenses I did not look at a paid stay for comparison. (If your situation is different I would urge…
Fun with Star Alliance award tickets
So, Saturday was supposed to be the beginning of my long awaited vacation. I used my United miles to book a Business class star alliance award ticket CLT-EWR-FRA-PRG. CLT-EWR was US Airways and everything else was Lufthansa. CLT-EWR was delayed 1.5 hours due to mechanical issues meaning I would miss my EWR-FRA flight. I called…
My first “enhanced” pat down
Well I figured my number would finally come up and it did last week at IND. The lady forgot to do the inside the beltline inspection, but remembered before she sent me on her way. I also helps that i have thunder thighs so she “met resistance” while she was still a few inches from…
Big vacation coming up
I’m heading out of the country for a couple weeks but that means I should hopefully post a lot more. I’m heading to Prague, Berlin, and Budapest. I have business class seats on Lufthansa across the pond so it should be a good trip. Please stay tuned.
