Flying on my [sarcasm] favorite [/sarcasm] airline to Japan.

Houston to NY…
The annual Festive season trip is under way. I was lucky enough to get round trip flights to Ithaca, NY for 29,500 miles yesterday, otherwise you’d be reading about a very long drive instead of the flights on United. I left the house at 4:50 AM. I parked at Parking Spot 2 at 5:42 AM…
River Cruise – Day 20 [Flight to Houston through Chicago]
Well today started out like Charlie Brown kicking a football. I took a picture of the I amsterdam statue since no one was there. I took the train and got to the airport. I checked in – was 3 hours before my flight. Now that I look at the boarding pass it was even printed…
New York to Houston
The drive to Buffalo was uneventful. I went to Duff’s for wings before leaving…. hot, extra crispy. They were good, but not really special.

Australia and New Zealand Cruise – Day 18 [Departure from Auckland, New Zealand]
I woke up this morning, had a wonderful breakfast in the morning at the hotel and wandered down Queen Street for a bit. I found a shop with $10NZD shirts and bought a couple. They had a hilarious ‘Fake News’ game on sale. I missed the Christmas parade and took the SkyBus to the airport….
NCL Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona – Day 9 – Post # 10 (Return flight to Houston)
After a short nap I woke up and took the metro to Place Espagna to catch Aerobus A1 to the airport. I got on the Aerobus at 0705. I think it is silly that Barcelona spent all kinds of money finally getting the metro to connect to the city and the metro is slower than…
NCL Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona – Day 0 – Post # 1 (Departure)
So far everything is looking wonderful. The door chime on the Excursion wasn’t active this morning. I got to the Parking Spot (#2) and luckily I was more organized than usual and had my reservation because they were out of uncovered parking, so I got a free upgrade to extra wide uncovered parking. I’m…
Day 1 in Chicago, Illinois
When I arrived at the airport this morning I was pleasantly surprised. Yesterday I slept in and didn’t check in right at 7:21 AM, the result of which was I was 3rd or 4th on the upgrade list (despite my 1K status) and only 2 first class seats were available. I touched the kiosk to…
