You can probably guess how that worked out. What can you do… Continue reading Sicily Creates Fund To Pay Half The Cost For Travelers To Visit

A Nice Little Surprise In The Mail From Wyndham

WyndhamMost of the mail that I receive consists of junk. Bills are a given and then there are random mailers to get credit cards, refinance the mortgage and other things along those lines. (I’d bet that most of you receive similar kinds of things in the mail!)

Yesterday I received what I assumed was some junk mail from Wyndham but it ended up being a nice little surprise. Continue reading A Nice Little Surprise In The Mail From Wyndham

McDonald’s Belarus Review, Munich’s Oktoberfest 2020 Canceled, Hawaii Giving Some Visitors A Free Flight Home & More- The Rehash!

rehashDuring our time at home due to the coronavirus, we’ve definitely been spending less money. This is definitely a good thing…

I’ve been thinking of ways to earn more miles and points and a couple of things came to mind. Due to our Spring Break trip being canceled we kinda earned miles by getting them redeposited into our account. It’s time to find another credit card to apply for.

The coronavirus pandemic has virtually shut down travel across the globe.

The New York Times mentions how Hawaii has discouraged visitors by requiring them to self-quarantine for 14 days which could also lead to a free ticket for a flight home.

Tasty Souvenirs From Our Deep South Road Trip

Road TripDuring Winter Break 2019, the Michael W Travels family took a road trip to the Deep South.

This was an interesting experience for us and probably the longest amount of time we spent driving on a daily basis for a prolonged amount of time.

Some of the states we had previously visited, for others it was our first time checking them out. Continue reading Tasty Souvenirs From Our Deep South Road Trip
