Yesterday was a very special day for the Michael W Travels family.
Our little man Lucas Miles turned 6 years old! It’s been an amazing six years and I can’t believe that Lucas is in kindergarten and has already been to 42 countries! No, that’s not a typo- he’s a true world traveler! Continue reading Happy 6th Birthday to World Traveler Lucas Miles! 42 Countries Visited
Years back I got to stay at a W Hotels property in New Orleans and from what I recall, it was pretty amazing. This was during a work trip a long time ago.
Besides staying one time at a W, we used to hang out at the bar/ lounge area in various W Hotels around NYC.
W Hotels The Store is currently running a sweepstakes where one lucky winner will win a three nights stay at any of their properties! Along with this awesome prize, there will be six other prizes being given away to six additional winners. Continue reading Win A Three- Night Stay At Any W Hotels Property!

A couple of months back Kim got a really awesome $50 off $50 offer from JCrew in the mail. Kim made use of the offer which seemed like a nice gift from the store.
Last weekend, the Michael W Travels family stopped by JCrew to see if there were any good post- holiday sales going on. Continue reading Sweet Deal! JCrew $25 Off $25 Purchase!
It’s been a pretty shitty month in travel so to speak.
Last week I wrote about a passenger who spread poop in a plane’s bathrooms causing the flight to be diverted. Yesterday, we came across an article about a pretty crazy (and shitty) situation at an airport in Thailand. Continue reading Oh Shit! Man ODs On Viagra At Airport, Throws Poop At People
Flights can be cancelled for various reasons including weather, mechanical issues, crew timeouts, actors freaking out and a slew of other reasons.
The reason for an Alaska Airlines flight cancellation might be one of the strangest ones I’ve ever heard! Continue reading Alaska Airlines Flight Cancelled Due To A Rat!
It’s been freezing here in the NYC area. During our first week back to work there was a snow day due to the “bomb cyclone“. Thankfully, today brought warmer weather, a high in the low 30s.
Kim and I have a lot of work to do in planning some upcoming trips. Our first trip outside the US since the summer will be next month. Yes, we’re excited!

Travel News:
Last month I shared news of a proposed change to the NYC subway which could end 24/7 service. This was just an idea and is not likely to happen.
While ending 24/7 service would be seen as a negative change by many, the new year saw a big positive at NYC subway stations. Continue reading The New Year Brings This Big Improvement To NYC Subway Stations
People often wonder how the Michael W Travels family can afford to travel so frequently.
While there are lots of tricks to save on travel, I think we all know that there are still costs involved. Travel might be discounted but it’s never exactly free.
One way we save money during our travels is by staying in cheaper hotels, hostels and Airbnbs. (Sign up for Airbnb using my referral link to earn a $40 credit towards your first stay. I’ll earn a $20 Airbnb credit after you complete your stay.)
Another way we travel is by utilizing the benefits of credit card sign- up bonuses. Continue reading Miles & Points Earned from Credit Card Bonuses in 2017
