Last year an Uber driver got harassed by an NYPD detective after he let the cop know that he wasn’t using his signal when parking.

The incident was captured on video by the passenger in the back of the Uber. The video got over 4.5 million views on YouTube. It also has led to the driver Humayun Chaudry feeling “humiliated“, according to Gothamist. Continue reading Uber Driver Suing NYPD Detective For Harassment

My summer travel schedule is taking shape and I should be going on three trips with Lucas in July. We’ll be visiting a couple of new states and one country which will be a new one for Lucas. Between these trips we’ll probably be doing some driving trips with Kim.

Next I need to decide on where and when to use some remaining free Radisson hotel nights. Have you used your free-nights which were given out when the credit card’s stay 2 benefit went away?

Rather than just repost what was suggested last year, I wanted to add a few items that I feel could make great gifts!

There isn’t much to report about on a personal note when it comes to miles, points and travel. I still have some trip ideas for the summer which I need to decide on and finish booking.

Otherwise, I’m hoping to find some other big credit card offers to apply for soon. With 2016 just about half over, I need to increase my miles and points earned due to sign-up bonuses!

How has your week gone? Now it’s time to take a look back at some of this past week’s posts in a recap that I like to call, The Rehash!

Man Travels the World With An Awesome Sign!

travels the worldYesterday I wrote about a man traveling the world with his pet chicken. Definitely not the most likely travel partner, but a chicken does make for a great story and conversation piece!

Some of you may have realized that I like signs, especially funny one that I come across during my travels. Check out some Ridiculous Street Signs here.

I just came across the story of a man who travels the world with a pretty interesting (and somewhat funny) sign. Continue reading Man Travels the World With An Awesome Sign!

We decided to stay home this holiday weekend. With so much to do close to home in NYC, we kept very busy doing some things in Brooklyn and Queens. Even if you aren’t traveling to far-off destinations, you can still spend days exploring and feeling like you’re traveling!

Our next trip (flying) isn’t until July but I’m hoping to take a road trip once the school year is over. I’m also looking to book a couple of domestic flights to get some use from my Southwest Companion Pass.

How are your travel plans coming along? Continue reading Dine in Prison, Bourdain Dines w/ Obama, Cirque du Soleil, Airport Lines, Win A Lufthansa Duck, Woman Strips- Plane Returns & More- The Rehash!

Kim, Lucas and I spent this past weekend at the Radisson Martinique in NYC. This was booked almost a year back before the stay 2 benefit went away.

The room was small but nice and while I typically try to avoid the Herald Square area, the hotel is located on a great block in Korea Town. I could see staying here again if we have no other use for a free night certificate expiring in August.

I finished the important booking details for my next trip, coming up in less than a week! I’ll have a couple of posts about it this week. This should be a very interesting trip and experience!
