I was on my first visit to South American on the dream award trip to Easter Island. I would structure the award ticket to stopover in Santiago (Chile) on the way to Easter Island and return via Lima, Peru. Using points to make my luxury stays in the city more […]
My flight to Santiago would be 12 hrs and 30 minutes with a stop in Lima. I had redeemed 40k British Airways miles for the one way business class flight to Easter Island. I scheduled an allowed stopover in Santiago for three days. It was a long flight to prepare for both […]
We all know that the award flights are technically not “free” – at some point in the game, you’ve spent money on a credit card, spent time squeezed into a plane seat or maybe you bought miles. So while I’ve redeemed many points for my “free flight” paying only a […]
You’re going where? Where is that? and of course, Why? – these are the most often asked questions of me when I mention my upcoming travels. When I announced I was going to Easter Island (Rapa Nui) everyone was in overdrive asking these questions. You’re going where? Easter Island via Santiago […]

While everyone says “its just like riding a bike” to convey its easy to do, some of us (namely me) may have issues with it in some countries due to the whole bike vs. truck thing. With my quick weekend in Amsterdam, I would need to rent a bike […]
Prior to joining the cruise on the Zambezi River, we had a bit of time and I may have gently pushed for tea time at the Victoria Falls hotel as I was having some withdrawal from sweets and the cake tower seemed right up my alley. Helen was from England […]
I might be the only person left with internet access that doesn’t watch YouTube videos of cats doing funny things. I’ve always been a dog person – raising a puppy to a full grown dog (in my case, having dachshunds, a full grown dog is still quite a small dog full of […]
