Travel
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 […]
Growing up, I didn’t quite have the concept of a “time out” but now I fully embrace it in a good way – using my “time out” to recharge at a day spa, yoga or on vacation. For me, a vacation (holiday) let’s me take an extended “time out” from life to fully recharge […]

My whirlwind day of activities at Victoria Falls included a helicopter tour over the falls which would add a layer to my visit having seen the falls by land the day before. I already felt the “wow” factor the day before so now I was excited to see the falls by air. The helicopter tour […]
