This was a trip that took a lot of work to plan and one that Kim and I had dreamt of taking for many years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had other plans. The trip wasn’t meant to be this time.
Before we had a chance to cancel, Avianca canceled our flights in Ecuador from Guayaquil to the Galapagos. Continue reading Confirmed: Avianca Refunds For Canceled Flight!
Trains are very popular and of great interest to younger kids. When I first heard about a hotel made of old train cars in Pennsylvania, I wanted to stay there when Lucas was a bit older but it never happened. (Room availability and cost were some factors.)

I can’t remember the last time I applied for a new credit card. I’ve been meaning to do so and finally decided to apply for a new card this week and was instantly approved.

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.
