I’m Loving The Google Pixel 3 On Google Fi

For those who read the blog frequently, you might have remember a few weeks back I signed up for Google Fi. I signed up right after Google made the service official by transforming Project Fi in to Google Fi. Since then I haven’t written much about it because I wanted to give it an honest…
Why It’s Time For Me To Apply For Citi Prestige Card

I just can’t stop thinking about the Citi Prestige card. Sure the constant feed of articles hitting my google feed about the card has something to do with it, but bottom line, I think it’s a great all-around card. I just can’t help but think I’m making a mistake by not carrying it. For that…
Reminder: Activate The Chase Freedom Q2’19 5% Cash Back Bonus

As I’ve mentioned several times before, the Chase Freedom card is one of the most interesting cards in my wallet today. What makes the card interesting, for me, is that it’s a Cash Back credit card. Every single other card I carry (besides my old Bank of America card) is a point earning card. For…

Review: American Airlines Business Class 77W Los Angeles To Hong Kong

To begin our trip to Sydney my girlfriend and I met in Los Angeles at LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). At the time we took our trip she was living in New York and I was living in Chicago so meeting in Los Angeles proved the simplest solution. Los Angeles also made sense for…
Introduction: Double Beds Down Under

One of my goals for 2018 was the finally make it to Australia. At this point I’ve been to most continents, but I have been unable to make it to Australia in years past. The reason I haven’t been to Australia is that prices tend to be quite expensive. Thankfully, over summer 2018 I found…
Quick Update: March 2019

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already March. The year has been off to a rapid start and I just haven’t had the time needed to sit down and write. That’s why over the past few months my posts have been less frequent. While my posting has been less frequent my traveling has not. With that…
My $31,000 OneWorld First Class Weekend

Ok fine, I’ll admit it, the title to this post is a bit misleading. I absolutely did not spend $31,000 to fly to Hanoi Vietnam this weekend. However, I did fly between the United States and Hanoi this past weekend and I did so entirely in premium cabins. Had I paid cash for this entire…
