The 2019 New York Times Travel Show just passed. The show, a three day event, was in session from January 25-27.
Like every year, the first day was a trade- day. I’ve always wanted to attend the day time sessions but I’m not sure that it would be worth taking a day off from work for it.
This year, I decided to attend the show with Lucas for a few hours on the first regular day. Continue reading Takeaways from the 2019 New York Times Travel Show
The US State Department issues travel warnings to countries for a variety of reasons.
Recently, the agency issued a warning for travel to China, saying citizens may not be able to leave. Early last year, there was one issued for Mexico due to an explosion aboard a ferry.
The State Department has just upped the travel warning for Venezuela, making it a Level 4. Continue reading US State Department Issues Level 4 Travel Warning For Venezuela
Over the weekend, Lucas and I attended the New York Times Travel Show.
We had a good time attending a seminar, chatting about some destinations and checking out various other interesting booths. I plan to have a quick review of the show posted this week.

It’s always exciting to hear about new openings of my favorite fast- casual burger chain, Shake Shack.
Earlier in the month I wrote about two more Shack airport locations opening.
Back in 2011, I went to the grand opening of the first Shack in Brooklyn. In 2013 I was at JFK Airport for the opening of Delta’s T4. During that day I had an unlikely encounter with Richard Branson and also dined at the first airport location of Shake Shack! Continue reading Shake Shack Opens First Location On Mainland China
McDonald’s isn’t a restaurant that we frequent while at home but it’s a must when we’re visiting international destinations.
We like to visit McD’s for a variety of reasons while traveling. I love trying out the local McDonald’s menu items available. The kids LOVE McD’s due to the toys. (The food is definitely secondary.) It’s also nice to eat something (relatively) familiar while away.
During our recent winter break trip, we made stops at McDonalds France a few times. From what I recall, one time was just to grab a quick dessert. Continue reading What Did We Try At McDonald’s France?

This past week I applied and got approved for my first card of the new year. Now, I’m waiting for it to arrive so I can work on hitting the minimum spend to earn the bonus.
2018 was my worst year that I can remember for getting credit card sign up bonuses. I’m hoping that 2019 turns out better than last year. I’ll probably switch strategies and start to apply for more cards for Kim rather than myself.
