My Unforgettable Oaxaca Textile Experience
Wow, it’s already almost the end of August, and I am finally finding the time to share one of the more unique experiences I had in Oaxaca, Mexico way back near the beginning of the year on January 24th.

Going Back to Oahu
I’m going back to Oahu tomorrow! The last time I went to Oahu — or Hawaii for that matter — was right at the end of 2017 to visit my housemate David and his lovely girlfriend, Lynn. This time Jackie and I will be visiting them together, but this time David’s no longer our housemate… Continue reading Going Back to Oahu

Yes, everything originally planned for in 2020 was either postponed or canceled, but perhaps these new plans will… Continue reading Making Travel Plans in 2020

Another trip canceled due to COVID-19. This time a trip for my mom to Alaska has been postponed.
PDX-SFO Using Avios
This weekend’s trip to San Francisco was achieved for $11.20 thanks to using 15K Avios points on British Airways to book on Alaska Airlines. Much better than the 25K it would have taken using Alaska Airline points. This works because BA handles their rewards by distance. Since SFO is less than a certain number of… Continue reading PDX-SFO Using Avios
Time For Festivals

The last couple months, I’ve spent my time working my day job, spending time with family and friends, going through the pain of buying an airplane,… Continue reading Time For Festivals
First Time At SXSW

I’m actually quite exhausted from a week of getting up early to get… Continue reading First Time At SXSW
