With that many choices it’s hard to decide which property to stay. During my recent trip to Indianapolis, for my friends’ wedding (congratulations if you’re reading this), we decided to stay at the Indianapolis…
For the past few weeks I’ve been considering adding a new card to my wallet. There are many great cards on the market today thanks to increased competition among card issuers. After a ton of comparing various cards I’ve basically narrowed it down to two very different cards. One being the Chase Ink Plus card and…

The rapper posted an image of a private jet on his Instagram account letting his fans know he was traveling to New York for press. The picture, posted to his account, featured a Gulfstream jet, Mercedes S-Class, and a Mercedes VIP van. Beneath…
After an incredible flight on Singapore Airlines Suites Class to Frankfurt it was almost time to turn around and head home. I would have loved to stay in Germany longer than a few hours, but sadly I had an obligation on Monday morning and had to go back to Chicago. I didn’t really think this trip through…
