Upon arriving in London I took the Heathrow Express train to Paddington (again) and checked into the hotel. It seems that THIS is the reservation they upgraded, as it was a really really nice room!! It was nearing evening by this point so I took the “tube” into the central part of the city and…
As mentioned in my previous post, in November I went on a mileage run in order to ensure that I qualified for status again in 2019. I ended up over qualifying for the year, and ended the year at 132,000 miles instead of the 100,000 necessary, but it definitely helped me reach that goal. Since…
My 29,702 mile mileage run is over, and the numbers are in. In this post I am going to detail why I did this mileage run, how I found the flights that I did, and generally the logic behind the reasons for buying certain fares, how many points I actually collected, etc. I will also…
I’ve been to London before but Summer hadn’t and it’s one of my favorite cities so… WHY NOT GO AGAIN?? We flew on British Airways and it sucked. They’ve really become a major Low Cost Carrier and it shows. Not to mention if you wanted tap water you had to PAY. Whatevs. We took the…
I really need to get better about blogging. From what I remember of my trip at this point, as it’s easy to forget things you do unless you take pictures/write about it…. I’m on my final day in Britain and what better way to spend it than a bus tour? I took the bus tour that…
It was awesome how great the weather in London was. By great, I mean overcast practically the entire time. I definitely do not mind overcast, but it makes for really crappy photos. I decided to head out East and see what was out there. I got off on the wrong stop by mistake and ended…
I decided to head to the War Museum, which was heavily centered around WWI and made mention of all the other wars that Britain fought… And it’s interesting how they just sort of gloss over the fact that Britain owned a bunch of colonies and had a reputation of brutalizing any of them that didn’t…
I really didn’t know what to expect in London. At first I felt everything was pretty cheap but now that I’ve looked at my credit card bill I had a heart attack. I had a few people tell me the food in London wasn’t that great at all, but I disagree. Either it’s the fact…
It has been a long, long time since I posted! I think it’s really easy to lose track of time, get busy, or just out of sheer laziness drop things from our to-do list. For me, it was this blog. Part of the reason is my summer life was not only quite boring, but it…
