Casey Neistat is most famous for making creative and hilarious Youtube videos.

I first came across his videos when I was shown the awesome Bike Lanes video. Another video that stands out is when Neistat made his own Dr. Dre Beats Headphones.

He’s also made some travel-related videos including a recent one about the $21,000 First Class Airplane Seat. Continue reading Video: Casey Neistat’s $21,000 First Class Airplane Seat

I’m almost done completing the minimum spend required to earn the bonus on my newest credit card. This means I have a decision to make soon.

Do I try to get approved for the Chase Sapphire Reserve at a bank branch or just apply for Kim and hope that she gets approved online? I’m leaning towards just applying for Kim since I’d rather not take the time out at the moment to head to a Chase bank.

Otherwise, there isn’t much going on around here! Continue reading Win A Trip to Belize, Biz Class Tix to China, JetBlue Offered $10K for Lost Unaccompanied Minor, 500 Free Virgin America Points, Obama on Bourdain’s Parts Unknown & More- The Rehash!

Oops! 2 Unaccompanied Minors Put On Wrong JetBlue Flights

JetBlue

I’ve been asked from time to time if Kim and I would let Lucas fly at a young age as an unaccompanied minor. I’m usually quick to brush off the question with a definite no.

Even though Lucas is an experienced traveler, I can’t imagine a scenario where it would be important enough to have him fly alone, especially not at close to five years old.

The Daily News reports that ” A 5-year-old returning home alone from a family visit in the Dominican Republic was placed on the wrong flight,” by JetBlue. Continue reading Oops! 2 Unaccompanied Minors Put On Wrong JetBlue Flights

Tourist Gets Locked Inside Milan Cathedral Overnight

Milan Cathedral

One of the biggest problems with visiting popular attractions is that they’re busy. This is usually the case for good reason. Tourist trap or not, most busy sites are busy because everybody wants to see it…

Ever wish you could have a popular site all to yourself? It sure would be nice to get to see the site uninterrupted. There’d also be no chance of getting photo cock blocked!

An American tourist was visiting the Milan Cathedral and got locked inside! Continue reading Tourist Gets Locked Inside Milan Cathedral Overnight
