One of my favorite things to go to when traveling is a Christmas Market in Germany. Of course that is not a reason to travel to Germany, so I just have to luck out and have an event to travel to in December. That actually happens more often that you would think and I always…
Congrats to four winners – Chris Pepin, Christopher C., Janet, and Nick. I have emailed each of your a code for a free pass to the Alaska Lounge. They expire 12/31 so use them on your next trip and post a note in the comments or send me an email on your experience there. Have…
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, all that jazz! More giveaways from The Military Frequent Flyer, mainly because they are going to expire otherwise. If you are not aware, they made a name change from the Alaska Airlines Boardroom to the Alaska Lounge a little over a month ago. Don’t be confused if the passes have the…
A great thing about going to a new place is having a local show you some of the hidden gems. Even though a med school student doesn’t get out much, she knew a perfect place to take us for our last night in town. This spot is not very well known and you would pass…
Continuing on our adventures over the Thanksgiving weekend in New Orleans. Our daughter lives in the Garden District, one of the better suburbs of New Orleans. She thought we would enjoy a morning walk around to view some of the historical homes. It is worth noting that you don’t really need a tour guide as…
Continuing on from yesterday’s post. We started our exploration by walking down towards the French Quarter along N. Peters St. Of course, the wife wanted to have beignets for breakfast. The walk there was very pleasant at 75 degrees F and a nice warm up from D.C. I was impressed at all the renovation of…
For a change this year, we went to see our daughter for Thanksgiving instead of her coming home. Part of the motivation was for us to come see New Orleans where we had never spent time despite this being her third year at Tulane. The other being that as a third-year med school student, she…
An unbelievable response to our little post. Three times the requests we had for the United upgrades – go figure! The winners are: Stephanie Sean L. Isaac ND Benjamin Daniel Ryan Elizabeth H. You’ll note that this totals more than the six we had available. But with this great response, I dipped into the pile…
OK, gang, my wife and I have six Guest Gold Upgrades getting ready to expire on 31 Dec. These upgrade instruments for Alaska Air are easier to use than the upgrades on United. However, you still have to know what you are doing. If you already have a reservation on AS, go to your “Trips”…
Thanks for those who entered the contest last week. Fortunately, we had plenty to go around. Here is the list without showing their whole email: SMZ14 – RPU Justin – GPU Billie – RPU Nina – RPU Eric – GP Deb – GPU Sorry to those of you wanting to upgrade an award ticket or wanting…
