Warned Not to Climb, 3 Tourists Stuck on Uluru, Need 11 Hour Rescue

uluruDuring our honeymoon, Kim and I headed to Australia where we got to see some amazing sights around the country. One of our favorites was our stop in the Australian Outback.

We loved visiting the famous rock formations, the Olgas and Uluru (Ayer’s Rock).

A big debate I had was whether or not to climb Uluru. Kim wasn’t for it, so reluctantly I agreed to only go a short way up to get a closer look. Continue reading Warned Not to Climb, 3 Tourists Stuck on Uluru, Need 11 Hour Rescue

Since we’re now into fall, it’s time to seriously start considering some winter travel options.

I’m thinking about a quick domestic trip in a few weeks from now since I still have some Southwest Rapid Rewards points to burn. As for winter break, that is a tough one. My work schedule only allows for travel during the peak holiday dates so what do I do? I’m hoping some sort of deal comes up. I also need to look into some options with miles… Continue reading Brad Pitt Opening Lux Resort, Video: Casey Neistat’s $21K 1st Class Seat, North Korea Internet, Shortest International Flight, Win 100K AA Miles, JetBlue Schedule Extended & More- The Rehash!

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
