We recently spent a few days in Baltimore since we had to get rid of some expiring Wyndham points.

Kim and I hadn’t been to Baltimore in over 10 years so it was fun to check it out with the kids. We tried out some local eats and did some kid-friendly activities during our stay.

We found Baltimore to be an odd and quirky yet interesting place. Continue reading Do You Get Nervous When Renewing Your Passport, Anthony Bourdain Day, 50% Off On Uber, Buy $250 Delta Gift Card- Get $25 Home Depot GC & More- The Rehash! →

The highly anticipated New York location of Time Out Market officially opened this past Friday. Kim and I went by for dinner to check it out. The market is beautiful inside but it wasn’t what we expected compared to the original in Lisbon. More on the new market in the future…

We’re in trip planning mode as we’re closing in on our first summer adventure. Besides working out these details, we’re also trying to figure out where to go during August.

I hope that everyone had a nice Memorial Day Weekend.

While it’s always nice to have long weekends, this holiday is also important to recognize  those who have given their lives serving in the US military.

Over the weekend we attended a food event in NYC which we’d never been to before. It might be of interest to those of you who plan to visit NY.

We’re currently in the early stages of planning our first trip of the summer.

Our flights are booked but we definitely need to work on the itinerary so we can move forward with our accommodations. We’ll also need a rental car which is going to be on the pricier end.

We spent a night in Philadelphia over the weekend since I had to get rid of a Marriott free night. We stayed at a Fairfield Inn which really impressed all of us! (I plan to write a review of the property in the future.)

I hope that everyone had a nice Mother’s Day.

I reached out to American Airlines this week regarding our canceled flight during our trip home from Uruguay. The airline claims that with weather being to blame, the canceled flight is basically not their problem.

While I don’t expect anything from AA, I might follow some reader suggestions to file a complaint.

Our Spring Break came to an end on Friday, sort of… Due to a flight cancellation, we ended up with another mini-trip in St. Louis.

I’d say that our flight home from Montevideo, Uruguay was probably the longest journey that we’ve ever been on. (I plan to write about it in a future post.)

The Michael W Travels family is currently away for Spring Break in South America.

We started off our trip in Buenos Aires and had an excellent time. While there are no true must- see sights, we enjoyed exploring the city and also trying some of the great food!

Today we arrived in Uruguay where we’ll spend a few days before (sadly) heading home.

Over this past weekend, I used my last uncapped IHG Anniversary Free Night for a stay in NYC. (Staycation!)

We used our time in the city to check out the newly opened Hudson Yards. This is a really great new area to check out with great food options and fun things to do. I plan to write about it in a future post.

After much procrastination, we finally finished all of the bookings for our upcoming Spring Break trip.

With the aid of miles, points, rewards and a goodwill coupon, the budget for this trip (happily) came in much lower than I expected. I’ll probably write a trip planning post to share the details in the future.
