Southwest

 

Southwest isn’t known for it’s luxury or lounges, but they do have Porches in three cities around the country.

The Southwest Porch isn’t found at any airports, they are located at public parks in Atlanta, Dallas and New York. The porches sound like a nice place to relax, recharge and chill out if you happen to be in the area. They offer comfortable seating and FUN perks, nestling in a local park.  Continue reading Stop By A Southwest Porch In These Cities

Win A Trip to Nashville For the CMA’s

While I can’t say that I am a country music fan, I certainly can appreciate it. Back in late 2012, we spent a few days in Nashville. I really enjoyed exploring the city and hearing live country music at one of the famous Honky Tonk bars.

Nashville is the kind of city that has lots to offer- great food, history, museums… you get the idea. Continue reading Win A Trip to Nashville For the CMA’s

Atlanta Trip Planning

A couple of weeks back we went to Atlanta over the holiday weekend. The first question we kept getting was- why Atlanta? My reasoning was no different than most of our other trips: Why not? The two main things I wanted to do were to check out another baseball stadium, Turner Field- home of the Atlanta Braves. And secondly,  just to visit a new state (although we only got to visit one city in Georgia).

Putting together our trip was relatively easy and cheap thanks to miles & points. Without miles & points I doubt that we would’ve taken this trip at all. It woud have been a pretty costly long weekend.

During our trip, the weather in Atlanta was really nice. It was pretty hot but with little humidity- making for some pretty comfortable weather. We did get caught in the rain heading back from the Braves game during our last day but it didn’t mess up our plans!

Triple Southwest Points With Hyatt Stays

Screen Shot 2014-05-30 at 12.35.22 AMHere is a way you can earn triple Southwest points for completing stays at Hyatt hotels worldwide.

The promo started on May 1 but I just received an e-mail about it last night. I am guessing that I saw something about it over the past month but since we never stay at Hyatts I probably didn’t pay it much attention.

If you value Southwest points and plan to be staying at Hyatts, this can be a way to earn a bunch of Rapid Rewards points.

Win An Amazing Trip For 4 To Disney

Southwest is giving away a trip to one of the Disney parks in the U.S. in a new contest. The winner will get to choose between a trip for 4 to Disneyland in California or Disney World in Florida.

The prize includes airfare, accommodations, Disney park tickets and much more.

I got to visit Disneyland when I was around 10 or 11 but haven’t ever been to Disney World. II’m actually not a fan of theme parks and have little desire to visit Disney again. However,  I do think that my special little guy Lucas would love to see Mickey Mouse in-person so we’ll most likely have to visit some day.
