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

Making Travel Plans in 2020
With the way 2020 has gone so far, making travel plans in 2020 seems like it may lead to more disappointment as many plans will likely fall through, however, I’m happy to be making new ones again. 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

Alaska Postponed: Another Trip Bites The Dust
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
Since my trip to Iceland, I haven’t done much international travel. In fact, I haven’t done much travel at all except for a trip to Georgia early in June. 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
This last week I went to Austin, Texas for work, seeing friends, and SXSW (South by South West). The trip didn’t last as long as I would have liked (like most), but in the time I was there, I had a blast. I’m actually quite exhausted from a week of getting up early to get… Continue reading First Time At SXSW
Headed To Austin for SXSW
I’m sitting in the Seattle Alaska Airlines lounge complimentary of my Lounge Club card. I’m waiting here for my flight to Austin which I’ll be in for the next week to partake in SXSW. I’ve heard great things about the conference/festival/party and decided I finally needed to go check it out. I have been to… Continue reading Headed To Austin for SXSW
PDX->SNA (FTU)->SFO (Work)->PDX->SEA->LWS->Home

Prior to yesterday, I was going to go to Newport Beach, CA to attend Frequent Travel University (FTU) and then come back to Portland, work here through Thursday, and then fly out to Lewiston,… Continue reading PDX->SNA (FTU)->SFO (Work)->PDX->SEA->LWS->Home
Jason [Does Not] Get Around
As much as I travel, I really don’t have too many problems usually, however, there are those days I just can’t control. Finishing up a trip in Austin, Texas with a number of my coworkers from the Portland office, we ended up being stranded due to flash flooding from some terrible weather around the Austin… Continue reading Jason [Does Not] Get Around
