I like to think that I’ve traveled my fair share, although definitely not enough! Some places have stood out as being happy or maybe just friendlier. If I had to pick one destination that would be at the top of my list, I’d go with Bali, Indonesia.

With an impending snowstorm on the way, we found out earlier today that schools would be closed here in NYC! This will be a good opportunity for Kim and I to work on the plans for our Spring Break trip which is a little over three weeks away.

I was happy to get approved for my first new credit card of 2017. No, it wasn’t a card with a 100,000 miles bonus offer but I’ll take 50,000 more American Airlines miles. (Although it’s been extremely hard to redeem the AA miles I already have.)
