Happy New Year to all!

The Michael W Travels family had an awesome and exhausting end to 2017.

What should’ve been a quick, 3.5 hour direct flight home from Austin, Texas became a very profitable, long day thanks to a voluntary bump! I’m hoping to have a post ready soon with all of the details.

I hope that all of you who celebrate had a nice Christmas holiday.

Yesterday, the Michael W Travels family flew to our last trip destination of 2017. While I hoped to leave the country, I couldn’t find any good deals. Instead, we’re visiting a city/ area I’ve long wanted to check out- Austin, Texas. We’ll also be doing some day trips to areas not too far away.

In one week we’ll be heading off on our last trip of 2017. All we have left to do is to figure out our rental car and boy are they pricey.

For those of you celebrating- Happy Hanukkah and for those of you celebrating Christmas, I hope that you got some great deals on your gifts and that you are pretty much finished with your shopping.

I’m currently in the middle of planning our upcoming winter trip but I’m also thinking further ahead to the summer.

I’m hoping we’ll get to visit a couple of new regions that I’ve wanted to explore for quite some time. I was close to booking a flight but I still need to do further research to see how bold we should get. (Time is always a factor which could ruin any great plan!)

Kim and I each finished putting the minimum spend on our newest credit cards. Now I’m debating whether or not I should apply for one more card before 2017 comes to an end. (The biggest problem is finding the right card to apply for!)

We haven’t flown since October so we’re very excited for our next trip, which is just three weeks away. It will involve lots of food, especially barbecue!  Continue reading Winning 10K Hotel Points, Free $5 Shake Shack GC, Airbnb’s New Payment Option, Win JetBlue Flights For A Year, Is NYC Subway 24/7 Service Ending, Famed Sorbillo Pizzeria in NYC- The Rehash! →
