This trip introduction describes how I put together my winter holiday trip to the Hawaiian islands. By using a few tricks that are accessible to anyone, I was able to save about $1,000 USD off my first class airfare, along with getting seven nights for free at the Sheraton Maui resort and spa [without attending a timeshare sales presentation]. I was able to enjoy a great relaxing holiday, along with finally getting… Read More
This trip introduction is about a short work trip I ended up taking to San Antonio, Texas, United States of America. While I don’t typically get into the trip planning for work trips with any regularilty, I thought I would take the time to highlight this particular city visit off the usual business beaten path. I would end up going down for four nights and three days. Read on to see how… Read More
This story is a quick extended weekend trip. I ended up planning a mileage and mattress run trip designed to push me over the edge into Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan MVP Status, and for MrsWT73 to re-qualify for Marriott Bonvoy Titanium level status. We were able to take advantage of Marriott Bonvoy’s newest partnership with MGM Collection, which offer Marriott Bonvoy benefits while at MGM Casino properties. While it was a fast… Read More
This is a brief story of a quick extended weekend trip that occured close to my home town in Vancouver, Canada. I ended up planning a last minute weekend getaway to Mount Hood, Oregon, United States of America to get in a little summer skiing. This was quite an impromptu trip where I decided to head off just two days prior to the trip itself. This trip would allow me to re-experience… Read More

I had wanted to visit Alaska for downhill skiing for quite some time. While most people visit through a coastal cruise in the middle of the summer, my goal was to visit Alaska in the spring season to take in downhill skiing at Alyeska ski resort in addition to see some other activities. Since the tourist season pretty much shuts down outside of summertime, how would I put together a trip to… Read More
They say that today’s modern day corporate office worker is all about finding balance. On this particular trip I would attempt to find that balance by leveraging an existing business class work trip, and by adding on a few days of skiing at Stowe Mountain resort in Vermont USA at personal expense over the weekend. I would end up using a work trip to get me to the North Eastern part of… Read More
The South of France always holds a special place in my heart. The Rhônes Alpes Region was my home to business school residencies in Grenoble, France. During that period in my early thirties, I was able to spend some time exploring the Cote d’Azur region, including travels through Nice and Monaco. I am happy that I get to return to this region for a repeat visit. Trip Introduction: Cote d’Azur, France &… Read More
After waiting around for several years for international travel to re-open, and a general lack of reward availability for business class cabins, I decided that I had to change course when it came to planning to travel. In this case, frequent flier points became the preferred currency of choice, as you could easily cancel a business class ticket, without worrying about your currency being stuck and held with the airlines for several… Read More
This particular trip was one born out of needless travel comfort necessity. With elite mileage counters resetting to “zero” at the end of the calendar year, I needed a few extra miles and nights in order to re-qualify for Air Canada’s Aeroplan Elite Status and Marriott Bonvoy Titanium level status. While it isn’t essential to maintain status, it certainly makes travelling life a lot more comfortable. This is how I tipped the… Read More

Without much hesitation, we booked ourselves into a trip to France, Jordan and Israel. Read on to see how we put it all together. Trip… Read More
As the world slowly re-opened, MrsWT73 became aware of a concert opportunity in nearby Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America. Since we hadn’t been anywhere significant or substantial aside from our earlier Caribbean trip, it came time for a journey down south to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America. Trip Introduction: Las Vegas, United States via Alaska Airlines Planning the Trip: During the re-opening days of the pandemic, MrsWT73… Read More
