Latest Saverocity Observation Deck Podcast Episode:
- An in depth discussion of the Electronics Ban.
Travel:
- From Becky – This spa just went on my list, when I finally get to Vietnam. But not just that, this was really well written – something I think we don’t necessarily think of now a days when we read trip reports or most blog posts.
- Do you lock your deadbolt when in a hotel room? If you don’t, you should!
- A great way to make that Disney vacation more affordable and stay on property (which makes the experience a whole lot better, even without kids!)
- The curious query of airplane lavatory toilet seat etiquette. As I’ve grown older, I’ve become a bit more of a germaphobe myself, so I tend to agree with Gary’s assertion.
AvGeek:
- Buzz Aldrin becomes the oldest person to fly with the US Air Force’s Thunderbirds. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Miles and Points:
- What information is public, and what shouldn’t be, when it comes to manufactured spending? Is this the golden age of travel hacking?
Credit Cards:
- PF Digest reports that the Upromise credit card is no more.
- FQF loves US Bank almost as much as TPG loves Chase. But I think FQF may have a point with this one..
Tagging Miles:
- Virgin Atlantic Continues to Innovate with the Dreambird 1417
- The Lifetime Hotel Status Conundrum
- Review: Grand Hyatt Taipei
Thanks for the kind words and hope you make it to Vedana Resort! No points there but at least than $200 for an overwater bungalow, you can afford to splurge.
@Becky – Thanks for your comment! Believe me, Vedana Resort is totally on my list, I just have to get to Vietnam!
