When I first got the US Bank Altitude Reserve card, I planned to cancel it after the first year.
With a $400 annual fee, it sounds like a pretty expensive card to keep. However, a $325 annual credit on travel expenses offsets the fee making more like a $75 per year card.
I like the perks that the card offers, especially earning 3X points on Mobile Wallet purchases so I’ve stuck with the card. Continue reading Earn Up to $90 In Statement Credits With US Bank Altitude Reserve Card
There are lots of interesting and unique stays available to book through Airbnb.
There used to be a pizza themed rental available in Brooklyn, NY but the listing was pulled (I assume) due to COVID-19. An apartment in a NYC housing project was listed on the site. You can also book a stay in a 6-ton potato!
From time to time, Airbnb runs special listings which are almost like contests. These properties are only available for a limited time.
Blockbuster Videos used to be very popular but have virtually disappeared. Continue reading Book A Sleepover At The LAST Blockbuster Location In The World!
Since the Anthony Bourdain Food Trail officially debuted in New Jersey, I’ve slowly tried to visit the places which made the cut.
To date, we’ve been to:
Earlier in the summer, we took a short trip to the Jersey Shore. While there, we stopped into James’ Salt Water Taffy. Continue reading A Stop On The Anthony Bourdain Food Trail: James Salt Water Taffy
The Coronavirus Pandemic has made it extremely hard on businesses like restaurants and bars. It isn’t easy to serve customers while maintaining social distancing.
Shops in Italy have been getting creative with a way to serve customers by using a method they did back in the 1600s. Continue reading “Wine Windows” From 1600s In Italy Being Used Again To Serve Drinks
Last year we were heading into the second week of our trip around South Asia at this time. (We were visiting our 2nd country out of five, Sri Lanka.)
What a difference a year makes. We just got back from a very exciting short trip to Pennsylvania! lol Continue reading Face Masks With Valves Banned By United, Pizza Capital of the World, Searching For Bobby Fischer, Hotels.com Rewards Booking Problems & More- The Rehash!
Travel News:
Hotels.com is one of our favorite sites to use to book hotel stays if we’re not booking direct or staying in a hostel or Airbnb. (*You can actually book some hostels on the site, too.)
We find Hotels.com to offer competitive prices while also offering a pretty solid rewards program. For every 10 stays you complete, a free night is earned valued at the average of the 10 nights you booked during this time. (Look at the reward as a 10% rebate.)
While booking a room over the weekend, I tried applying a reward to a booking. I headed over the the Hotels.com app and encountered some issues. (Find out why it pays to book your reward stay through the app here.) Continue reading Hotels.com Reward Booking Headache Ends With Great Customer Service
When most people think of pizza destinations, I think it’s fair to say that New York and Italy primarily come to mind.
If I’m thinking about pizza around the US, the places I think of most would be New York (really Brooklyn), Chicago and Connecticut.
Around five or six years back, I heard about an area in Pennsylvania dubbing themself the Pizza Capital of the World! I had to find out for myself about the area by taking a trip to Old Forge, PA. Continue reading Find Out About Our Visit To Old Forge, PA- Pizza Capital of the World
When traveling to new places, I research the areas we’ll be visiting on a variety of sites to find things to see and do.
One of my favorite sites is Atlas Obscura. Atlas Obscura claims to be, “the definitive guide to the world’s hidden wonders.” I’d agree with their claim as on the site we’ve found lots of interesting and off the beaten path things to visit over the years.
During our visit to Iceland, we came across a somewhat bizarre attraction that I wanted to check out as long as it wasn’t really out of the way.
As some of you may know, Bobby Fischer is probably one of the most famous chess players in the world. Continue reading Searching For Bobby Fischer in Iceland
Thanks to COVID-19, face masks are a necessary accessory.
It’s now mandatory to wear face masks in stores, restaurants and while flying. (We’ve yet to fly since the pandemic began.)
Like a few other airlines, United Airlines has a new rule pertaining to what kind of face masks are allowed to be worn during flights. Continue reading Face Masks With Valves Banned By United Airlines
