A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand

by

Today is a travel day, so I am going to make the post entirely visual. Here are a few photos taken over the weekend on Waiheke Island in New Zealand. Actually, all pictures were taken within about 3 minutes of each other from the same vantage point on the island. It's always amazing how a slightly different angle, or a photo crop can impact the mood of the picture. … [Read more...] about A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand

Hyatt Regency Minneapolis Hotel Review – An All Around Solid Hotel

by

If it's alright with you, I'm just going to finish off my backlog of Twin Cities hotels today and be done with it.

When I come back into town to teach or speak, I usually stay with my family. On a few occasions, though, I will get a hotel. In June … [Read more...] about Hyatt Regency Minneapolis Hotel Review – An All Around Solid Hotel

Usually on Saturdays we offer our weekly update of travel happenings, points earning and bookings. But this week I don't have much to update. I already wrote about a few bad things that happened this week, and now we are just relaxing. With that said, I did record a new podcast episode. It's a quick listen at 6 minutes long and we talk about a comparison between the … [Read more...] about Episode 3: Live from the Intercontinental Thalasso in Bora Bora

Sunday Funday: Guess the Hotel (Hint: It is the Nicest Hotel Room I’ve Ever Stayed In)

by

Filed under: Developing I am breaking all of my rules right now and talking about a hotel while I am still staying on the property. I usually wait a few days months to post hotel reviews after our stay because I am too lazy I want to let the experience soak in a little before posting. But today is different, because this hotel room is too good not to share. Heck, it’s not … [Read more...] about Sunday Funday: Guess the Hotel (Hint: It is the Nicest Hotel Room I’ve Ever Stayed In)
