Since I’m stuck at home due to Hurricane Sandy, I thought I’d write a bit about how to deal with weather interruptions. Obviously, with major events such as hurricanes, the goal is just to be safe and rebook travel as soon as possible. But when these things happen, there can be huge lines – both at airports and on the phone. What are some ways to minimize wait times?

Apologies for taking so long to finish this series, been busy with life and planning for our upcoming trip! The best way to get started in the points game is applying for credit cards with lucrative sign up bonuses. As I mentioned before, you should only be doing this if you can pay off your balance in full every month. If you can do that the question is: what credit cards are best to start with?
Going to Ireland!
I’ve been itching to take one more international trip in 2012. After a lot of begging and pleading, I managed to convince the Points Hater to agree to a long weekend in Ireland over Veteran’s day. Luckily, we live in Boston, which meant we could get there with a great value award booking using British Airways Avios.
A Weekend at Martha’s
I’ve been pretty busy at work lately, so haven’t had much of a chance to post, but I wanted to put a few pictures up from my family’s recent trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Living in New England, Martha’s Vineyard is just a short drive away, so we decided to spend Columbus Day weekend there. We rented a house, and the rain held out until the last afternoon, so although we were there for a short time it turned out to be a really relaxing vacation!
