The Executive Lounge Is Not Your Private Lounge! We are sometimes thrifty when we travel. It is great to shop in the market and go to a park for a picnic when we travel. We book our travel at days and times of the year that are cheaper. But we […]
Our Final Stop In Switzerland Was Geneva It was a short train hop from our stay in Bern to Geneva. This was our last stop in Switzerland for this trip. We were refreshed after the train ride and decided to walk the short distance to the hotel. It was an […]
Our First Ritz-Carlton Booking On our 6 week Central Europe trip we stayed in 13 different hotels. The hotels ranged from small local boutique hotels in tiny Czech Republic towns to large chain hotels in the suburbs of major cities. Six of the hotels were booked as part of our […]
So Many Reasons To Visit Portugal I will start off by stating that we absolutely love Portugal. We spent 4 weeks in Portugal and loved every spot we visited around the country. We liked it so much that we planned a trip to return to Porto and a stay in […]

We joined all the loyalty programs and then scattered our points everywhere. Often points expired unused. Promotions that would increase our points were ignored. In the last 3 years […]
Our First Stop In Dubai The first half of our amazing 51 day cruise was from Athens to Dubai. We stopped in Dubai for two days before we got back onboard our cruise ship to head to Cape Town for Christmas. And after Cape Town, we came back to Dubai […]
You Need To Think About Ways To Get Around Dubai I would not normally write about how to get around a city we visit. We have often used Hop-On-Hop-Off (HOHO) buses to explore a new city and get an overview of a new place. When we are in a city, […]
Visiting The Dubai Mall We were in Dubai twice within a month. On both visits we went to the Dubai Mall. This is certainly one of the things to do in Dubai. I am sure you need to visit many times to see every Dubai Mall adventure. There was a […]
