So, I may have taken a hiatus from writing, but that’s only because I’ve been traveling non-stop (oh, and we moved across the country, bought a house, got engaged, and married…). In my travels (especially for work), I try to never check a bag (think of all the time wasted at baggage claim!) and travel … [Read more…]

Lines suck. Lines especially suck when you’re running about 15 minutes late for your flight (which, why is that always the case?). Alaska Airlines has made it easier and faster to check luggage on your next flight. And, through October 20, 2015, you can earn 1,000 Bonus Miles (up to 5,000 Bonus Miles total) every … [Read more…]
I may be biased, but Michigan is the greatest state in the union. And, according to Thrillist, I’m right! As part of the “America Week” campaign, Thrillist released “The Definitive and final ranking of all 50 states.” States were ranked on their contributions to America, specifically “inventions, food/drink, somewhat productive famous people, unique physical beauty, … [Read more…]
