Over Spring Break 2020 we were supposed to head to Ecuador and the Galapagos.
This was a trip that took a lot of work to plan and one that Kim and I had dreamt of taking for many years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had other plans. The trip wasn’t meant to be this time.
Before we had a chance to cancel, Avianca canceled our flights in Ecuador from Guayaquil to the Galapagos. Continue reading Confirmed: Avianca Refunds For Canceled Flight!
Trains are very popular and of great interest to younger kids. When I first heard about a hotel made of old train cars in Pennsylvania, I wanted to stay there when Lucas was a bit older but it never happened. (Room availability and cost were some factors.)
Kim and I have considered staying at The Red Caboose Motel, located in Pennsylvania Dutch Country many times. Continue reading Spend A Night On A Train At The Red Caboose Motel In Ronks, PA
Iceland has some of the most amazing and diverse natural sites in the world.
During our visit to the country, we spent time at sites like the Justin Bieber Canyon and the Church Floor among many others.
While doing research for our trip, I hoped to see a crater lake in person. Kim and I decided to make it a point to visit Kerid Crater in South Iceland. Continue reading Visiting The Incredible Kerid Crater In South Iceland

A couple of weeks back we took a short road trip to Pennsylvania.
During our visit, we stayed at two different properties; one was a very unique motel and the other was a newer IHG brand called Avid.
When we got to our room, I noticed an extremely genius Do Not Disturb sign. Continue reading This Is The Most Genius Do Not Disturb Sign I’ve Seen At A Hotel
I can’t remember the last time I applied for a new credit card. I’ve been meaning to do so and finally decided to apply for a new card this week and was instantly approved.
While we haven’t really used many miles and points since last summer, it’s still a good time to replenish a bit of what’s been used over the years.

When I first got the US Bank Altitude Reserve card, I planned to cancel it after the first year.
With a $400 annual fee, it sounds like a pretty expensive card to keep. However, a $325 annual credit on travel expenses offsets the fee making more like a $75 per year card.
I like the perks that the card offers, especially earning 3X points on Mobile Wallet purchases so I’ve stuck with the card. Continue reading Earn Up to $90 In Statement Credits With US Bank Altitude Reserve Card
There are lots of interesting and unique stays available to book through Airbnb.
There used to be a pizza themed rental available in Brooklyn, NY but the listing was pulled (I assume) due to COVID-19. An apartment in a NYC housing project was listed on the site. You can also book a stay in a 6-ton potato!
From time to time, Airbnb runs special listings which are almost like contests. These properties are only available for a limited time.
Blockbuster Videos used to be very popular but have virtually disappeared. Continue reading Book A Sleepover At The LAST Blockbuster Location In The World!
