During Spring Break 2016 Lucas and I went on our first Father- Son trip to Poland. The trip was a great experience and we followed up with 3 trips together in 3 weeks since Kim was pregnant with Theo (and not traveling).

I didn’t expect it this summer, but Lucas and I will head off on another (domestic) Father- Son trip this week! Nothing exotic but to a city I’ve long wanted to check out, primarily for their baseball stadium.

Otherwise, trip planning is moving along well for our big family trip to the Pacific! Continue reading Casey Neistat’s Lufthansa First Class Review, Gun Found In Suitcase Lining, Bog Bodies of Ireland, Muji Hotels, Service Ducks On A Plane, Turtles Cause Flight Delays and More- The Rehash! →

It’s been a busy week here. We’ve made a lot of progress with plans for our big Pacific Islands trip which we’ll be leaving for in about 3 weeks. We still need to finish booking some hotels and then we’ll be good to go.

After some debate, I decided to apply for the Hyatt card before the 2 free-nights bonus went away. Chase called me for more info before getting approved. Talk about an odd conversation! (Maybe I’ll share it in a future post.)

I finally finished booking all of the flights we’ll need for our summer trip to the Pacific. We’ll be doing a lot of flying to get to some awesome destinations. Next up-  starting to book our hotels.

I recently got a new credit card and I’m already thinking about what to get next. I’m debating whether or not its time to finally get the Hyatt card before the two free nights at any property sign up offer goes away… Continue reading Baby To Fly FREE For Life, Call To Fiji Air Saves Me Over $600, Is Flying Killing You, 1.8 Million AA Miles Giveaway, McD’s Mac ‘N Cheese Sandwich & More- The Rehash! →

With the annual fee soon coming up on my American Express Platinum card, I decided to apply for the Amex Blue Business card (which I was instantly approved for). The signup bonus isn’t huge but it buys me some time to decide what to do with my Membership Rewards points.

Planning for our summer trip wasn’t looking good but then I started finding award availability for various flights around the region we’ll be visiting. It’s been frustrating using American Airlines miles over the past year or so but for this trip, they seem to be coming up big!

It finally feels like summer here in NYC. Over the weekend we were quite busy heading to some parks and checking out some new (to us) restaurants. We found a new place to go for an awesome burger as well as another great place to go for pizza. Win win…

Otherwise, I’m considering getting the Marriott Business credit card since I received a direct mailer. I’m not sure if the card falls under Chase’s 5/24 rule. Do you know?
