Let’s talk airlines. Emirates. I’ve had this idea in my head that flying Emirates Business would be the travel equivalent of winning the lottery… or perhaps it was just that it would take winning the lottery to afford to fly Emirates Business. Until I got the calling email. The golden-ray-of-sunshine email from Emirates offering to…

it’s a dream.
The Dreamliner. Chances are you’ve seen this plane in the news in not such a good fashion. Thankfully, this jet’s bad rap is quickly dissipating due to it being downright awesome. We booked the Dreamliner to Chicago a few weeks ago for a quick weekend trip to beat the heat in Houston. I know people…
the forlorn flier.
Thankfully those days are gone. When D and I first got married, I loathed flying. Not enough to stop me from traveling– just enough to make me dread it. And then D moved to Virginia for the Marines. Great. I spent many afternoons at Bush and Reagan airports with loads of anxiety and nervous energy….
i’ve been away.

Vegas with my favorite group of party people. Entertaining out of town friends in Houston, and ultimately, forcing ourselves to try new places in our…
travel tip: purchasing miles.

say it ain’t snow.
So far Chicago and I aren’t friends. As D’s birthday quickly approaches, my flight to Chicago today was cancelled. I have been planning to meet him in Chicago, as he has been there for work all week. The plan was fool proof… 2 nights, deep dish pizza, the bean (or whatever it’s called), all making…
business first= bliss.
I was heckled. Down right chastised. All for considering upgrading out 10.5 hour flight from Heathrow to Houston. Are you kidding… 20,000 miles and $500 per person? Silly girl, you could do so much with that. Oh really, randomly abrasive party go-er… Pretty sure they were my miles and my money. So the verbal lashing (that lasted…
for the spontaneous types.
Get it while it’s hot– Continental is having a sale on their reward travel tickets. A round-trip ticket via miles is normally at least 25,000 miles. Click the link below to all of the many places the “New United” serves. Travel between October 10th and December 15th for as low as 16,000 miles! Awesome places…
