We’re now less than a week away from heading off on our next trip. This will be Theo’s first international trip which is pretty exciting. For seasoned traveler Lucas, it will be his 33rd country!

Just a reminder: I hope that all of you look over your credit card statements. You never know what might show up. I was looking over my Chase Ink statement and found a fraudulent charge. Imagine just paying a bill without reviewing what you’re paying! I do it for every bill that I pay and if not, it could’ve been a very costly mistake… Continue reading Longest Uber Ride Ever, Win 500,000 Wyndham Points, Track Santa’s Journey, TSA Blocks Toy Bear At Airport, Shopping & Dining Bonus Offers- The Rehash! →

I’ve only used Uber for shorter rides with our longest trips being… home from the airport a few times.

Our winter trip is less than two weeks away and besides needing to book a rental car, we’re finally done with the other important details! For the bulk of the trip the Michael W Travels family will be using Homeaway (which seems quite similar to Airbnb…) for the first time.

Kim sent me an article yesterday about a new therapy animal at San Francisco Airport who is helping people fly! Continue reading San Francisco Airport Has A Therapy Pig! →
