During our trip to the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania) back in 2007, Kim and I flew to Copenhagen first and headed home through Stockholm. We used budget carriers Estonia Air and Air Baltic to get to/ from the Baltics from Scandanavia.
On the way home we had an early flight from Vilnius to Stockholm before making our way back to New York. I was taking a nap on a seat by our gate and when I woke up a guy came over to me and asked if I was Michael W. (This had nothing to do with the blog since it did not exist back then!)
I immediately wondered who this guy was and why he knew my name. It turned out that he was an old friend from junior high and high school that I hadn’t seen in over 10 years! This was definitely an odd but cool coincidence that we both happened to be flying through Stockholm on the same flight. Continue reading Buy A Car, Get A Free Trip To Sweden

Last week I wrote a post and asked if you would Bid With Miles For a Flight Simulator Experience. Here are some other options where you can use miles to bid for a variety of experiences.
Would I use my miles for this kind of thing? No! But, I do think it is interesting to see what Delta would like to offer us as options to spend our miles on.
I’ve received e-mails in the past from Delta about their SkyMiles Auctions but don’t think that I’ve ever actually taken a moment to see what was offered. I probably haven’t looked since the odds are extremely high that I would not bid with my miles for any sort of experience. However, maybe I would be surprised by what I saw…
When I think of expensive tours, trips like visiting Antarctica, the Galapagos and luxury African safaris come to mind.
Last month I read about a different kind of tour on CNN Travel that could definitely take the prize for most expensive trip in the world.

Back in high school and college I was really into music. During this time, we would actually go to the store and buy a CD or get a burned copy from a friend unlike today where everything is downloaded! Some of my favorite bands back then were Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Dave Matthews Band and U2 among many others.
I used to also really love going to concerts although I’m not really into that kind of thing anymore. I couldn’t see spending money on a concert unless it was for a few select bands and even then I’d have to really think about it.

United is auctioning off the chance to take a Behind the Scenes Flight Simulator Travel Experience.
While this experience sounds really amazing, it comes at an extremely high cost. A few days back I was looking at this package . The winning bid at this point was a little over 200,000 United miles. I checked in again a few moments ago and the bid is now up to a whopping 502,000 miles. Continue reading Would You Bid With Miles For Flight Simulator Experience?
