The last time I flew (thanks COVID-19) was in February when Lucas and I took a Father-Son Trip to the Netherlands.
Before heading off on our trip, I read about a bizarre national monument that I hoped to check out and possibly even use, if necessary. I read about Amsterdam’s City Hall Urinal on Atlas Obscura. Continue reading Visting An Important National Monument, Amsterdam’s City Hall Urinal!

I’m sure that many of us can’t wait to get back to traveling when things get better with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last week I wrote how many countries were placing restrictions on US visitors. As things start to pick up, it still won’t be easy for tourists to visit various destinations.
One country in South Asia has no plans as to when it will reopen to tourists. Continue reading This Country Has No Date For When It Plans To Reopen To Tourists

While my blog is primarily about travel, I also write quite a bit about food.
Food and travel intertwine and great trip or destination is even better when enjoying local food is also involved.
During the COVID-19 pandemic we haven’t been traveling but we’ve still been eating some great food. I’ve made it a point to try to support local businesses that I hope will come out of this situation still standing (serving?).
A couple of weeks back, a friend of mine was texting me and asked if I got on the list to do takeout from what’s probably NYC’s most exclusive restaurants. Continue reading How We Ate A Meal From NYC’s Most Exclusive Restaurant
Southwest Vacations is giving away a trip for two to Nassau, Bahamas in the June Sweepstakes.
The prize includes flights on Southwest Airlines, an all-inclusive hotel stay and more!
It’s hard to say when we’ll fly again but I’d definitely like to win this prize. During our visit to Bahamas, we only got to visit a private island while on a cruise (the only one I’ve ever taken). I’d definitely like to see more of the country during a future visit.
Continue reading Win A Trip For 2 To Nassau, Bahamas from Southwest Vacations
Over Spring Break, the Michael W Travels family was supposed to visit Ecuador and the Galapagos. This was a trip that Kim and I had wanted to take for years but COVID-19 had other plans.
Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, our flight on JetBlue to Ecuador was canceled. The miles I used to book the flight along with the taxes were promptly refunded. Soon after, Avianca canceled our flights from within Ecuador to the Galapagos. Continue reading 60 Days To Success: Avianca To Refund Us For Canceled Flight!
Over the weekend we checked out another park in NYC that we hadn’t been to before. We visited Fort Totten in Bayside, Queens. We also grabbed lunch for a picnic at a deli I heard about on the awesome food/ travel show, F*Ck, That’s Delicious.
While we’re not really traveling, we’ll continue to check out more of the local attractions in the NYC area.
How has your week gone when it comes to miles, points and travel? Continue reading Maryland Bar’s Social Distancing Idea, Visit To DC-3 Plane Wreck In Iceland, FREE Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Countries Place Restrictions On US Visitors & More- The Rehash!
