Hey gang, this is Andy. I think I’m going to start prefacing posts with who is writing, so you don’t think BG Goddard is simultaneously jet-setting all around the world while also living in Japan. After our so-so stay at the Intercontinental Tokyo The Strings, we boarded a mid-morning award flight from Haneda (HND) (booking…
Here is a guest post this week from Leo from flight.Speak.net A portion of this post originally appeared on January 13th, 2016, at blog.flightSpeak.net.

Last Fall, my family and I took a small vacation to Guam, our favorite little island in the world. We wanted to stay on the beach along the main drag in Tumon, although a chain hotel wasn’t our first choice. We were hoping to check out some Airbnb places, but all the good ones seemed…
I lived in Alaska for seven years and never saw anything like this! Hope you caught my post on the storm earlier this morning. The snow just doesn’t stop. They are saying it will keep going to 10pm and another 3.3″ for the Arlington area. Here are some more photos to show the incredible snowfall….

The 2nd Hotel my family and I stayed in during our first two weeks on Okinawa was the Hilton Okinawa Chatan Resort, located in the central part of of the island, near both American Village and Camp Foster.

I apologize for being so late with these upcoming posts, I’ve been quite busy since PCSing here to Okinawa from Philadelphia. Unfortunately because of incompetence, I was forced to stay in the awful BOQ here on Camp Butler for three weeks while my family waited for the right paperwork to come through. Thankfully though, when…
We’ve all had times, as travel rewards users, when we don’t know which miles to use between two destinations, and don’t want to have to slog through each airline program’s award charts to figure it out.
