Airbnb has been a great alternate option to traditional hotel stays. The site opens the doors to places to stay in good locations, typically at cheaper prices than hotels.
One of the unique things about some Airbnb stays is that you’re staying with locals. During our first Airbnb stay in Singapore, Kim, Lucas and I spent a night in a beautiful home. We enjoyed chatting with the host, even having breakfast with them. Continue reading Airbnb Has A New Payment Option

All of the Michael W Travels family have had Global Entry for some years now.
When Theo was born, Kim and I procrastinated on getting his Global Entry membership taken care of. This was never really an issue. When arriving back in the US, all we usually needed to do was fill out a customs form for him to include with our slips from the GE machine.
