I recently wrote about a traditional hat that I bought in Nepal during our trip to South Asia.
In the post I mentioned how we got much better at minimizing the amount of souvenirs we buy on trips now.
Nepal is the one country in recent years where we actually wanted to buy a few things. As we wandered around the streets of Thamel and by various sites, I noticed many shops selling beautifully painted masks. Continue reading Searching For A Traditional Mask In Nepal
During our trip to South Asia, we had a long layover in Chicago before making our way to the Maldives.
I was hoping to go into the city but it seemed too far away to make it worthwhile. Instead, Kim and I decided to go to Morton Grove (around 20 minutes away) to grab lunch at Pequod’s Pizza.
Pequod’s Pizza is deep-dish, Chicago-style pizza known for its “carmelized crust” edge. Continue reading A Visit To The Famed Pequod’s Pizza During A Layover In Chicago

During our month-long trip around South Asia we visited five countries. The last stop on our trip was to India where we visited a bunch of different areas.
We booked a flight with AirAsia (through CheapOair) to get us from Delhi to Goa.
For those who don’t know, traffic in Delhi is beyond awful. Our flight was at 7:55 pm and we hoped to arrive at the airport two hours early. However, the ride to the airport took a lot longer than expected due to that fun Delhi traffic. Continue reading CheapOair Screws Up Our Flight Booking, Makes Good
We got back from our month-long trip to South Asia a couple of days ago.
Our flights home with Etihad were pretty comfortable and the IFE was one of the best screens I’ve seen in a while.
Now that our trip is over, it’s pretty much back to reality as Kim and I have to go back to work today… I guess, all good things come to an end… until our next adventure!

When we’re not booking hotels directly through the property’s site, I try to use Hotels.com for my bookings due to their loyalty program.
With their loyalty program, “after collecting 10 nights, you’ll get 1 reward night to redeem at any eligible property.” The reward night is worth the average value of the 10 nights you had booked. Continue reading Hotels.com Making Changes To Loyalty Program

In December 2017 I wrote a post about the secret button on airplane seats.
The secret button allows you to raise the aisle seat’s armrest which can help your flight experience for a couple of reasons. It can give you more space to stretch your legs and also makes it easier for you to get up from your seat after the plane has landed.
