With all of the coronavirus news and cities being essentially being shut down, it’s hard to even think about travel.

Starting on Monday, I’ll be working from home which will be a major challenge. If it was safe, I’d rather be at my school teaching my students! (Imagine preferring to go to school than staying home!)

Is the coronavirus stopping you from booking future flights? I’ve seen lots of great deals but we’re currently going to wait to book anything until news related to the coronavirus changes for the better.

As of now, we’re still planning to go away over Spring Break. We’re hoping that those plans don’t need to be changed… Continue reading South By Southwest Canceled Due To Coronavirus, Park & Fly At TWA Hotel, Lucas In TONY Kids, Travel Contests & More- The Rehash! →

We finally finalized the details for this year’s Spring Break trip. Hopefully the Coronavirus won’t ruin our plans…

Our initial flight was booked during the last night of our Road Trip to the Deep South. After a bit of procrastinating, we took care of an internal flight and booked our hotels over this past weekend.

Lucas and I recently got back from an awesome trip to The Netherlands.

After initially planning to spend our time in Amsterdam, we ended up spending a couple of days taking trips to two other cities, Utrecht and Haarlem. For a short trip, we got to see a lot and have some great experiences.

Lucas and I are currently in Amsterdam! The Netherlands is Lucas’s 65th country visited. Quite the feat for an 8 year-old!

So far, we’re having a great time in Amsterdam. I was here around 20 years back so it basically feels like I’m visiting a new place. We had a jam-packed first day, doing a free walking tour, visiting a couple of museums and eating a good amount of tasty food & snacks!

Over the weekend, we had a fun time celebrating a very important holiday, National Pizza Day! We visited four shops close to home (in Brooklyn) this year.

Otherwise, Lucas and I have been busy preparing for for our upcoming trip to Amsterdam. We leave this weekend and are very excited for our first Father-Son Trip in quite some time.

A month back I wrote about an awesome deal that I came across (Beijing, China- $291 roundtrip) which was too good to pass up. Less than two weeks later, reports started coming out about the coronavirus.

Due to the coronavirus, I decided to cancel my trip. (About that $291 roundtrip deal to Beijing, China…)

Ever since I canceled our trip, I’ve been looking for another option for my week off in February. Last night, I found a deal worthy of booking. I’ll be returning to a country I last visited almost 20 years back and Lucas will be visiting for the first time. We’ll also be trying an airline we’ve never flown with before. More details will be coming in an upcoming post.

I still have a few weeks to go but I’m back to searching for a destination/ flight for February break.

Originally, Lucas and I had a Father-Son Trip planned to China. Due to the coronavirus, I decided to call to get my flight canceled. Hopefully they get this outbreak under control before more lives are lost.

I hope that everyone had a nice, extended weekend and took some time to remember MLK Jr.

I’m currently on the lookout for a new credit card. A card or two from Capital One are of interest but they come with a high minimum spend to earn the signup bonus. I’m debating whether or not it’s worth applying…

It was a very special week here for us.

Our little man Lucas turned 8 years-old over the weekend. For his birthday we took a quick road trip to Philadelphia, one of our favorite destinations within a couple of hours of home.

I plan to have a post up this week highlighting the places Lucas has been as well as how much he flew this past year. Continue reading 3X AA Miles With World of Hyatt, Hotel Strategy For Our Road Trip, 1st Harry Potter Store Opening In NYC, Travel Contests & More- The Rehash! →
