Our next adventure takes us to Munich. I had to fly to Japan, and in my typical attack of hard, logical reasoning, instead of routing over the Pacific for a short 15-hour flight, I routed over Europe. This allowed me to…
Hawaii – part 2
After arriving on Big Island, we rented a car (a Camaro convertible…. just like about 10,000 other people on the island. I swear, Hawaii must be Chevrolet’s #1 market for this car), and drove off to our hotel. We were staying…
Hawaii – part 1
Back in December 2013 (remember, I’m backfilling these posts… hehe), Delta had a mistake fare. They accidentally filed $0 – $1 base fares throughout North America, which means you could fly within the US and Canada for taxes only. Obviously…

There are some things that are so exclusive that you actually have to get somewhere in life to be able to achieve them. Singapore Airlines First Class is one of those things. SQ has been considered, for the longest time, to…
Day 15: Bagan, Day 3 (last day in Bagan)
Our original plan on the last day was to spend the morning relaxing, maybe swim in the pool of the hotel a bit. But after spending two days with our guide and realising that chances of us seeing everything are…
