Phuket, Thailand August 2021 (Part 1)

If you look back at my previous posts you’ll see a trend, and that’s that I always say the same thing – “Oh I really need to update this more!!” Well here I am saying that again. It’s been over 6 months since we took this trip and I’m just now taking the time to…

Oahu, Hawaii: November 2019

I found a reeeally great fare to Oahu not long after we got back for Thanksgiving time, so we jumped on it! No, we don’t classify it as a honeymoon, that’s still TBD. Since I was still 1K at the time with United we got free food and drink. We decided to stay the first…

Mileage Run Part 1: To Sri Lanka

As you’ve seen previously, I am utterly obsessed with flying. I find any excuse I can to go somewhere, and it was no different when I found a hugely discounted fare from Sri Lanka to New York, return. This gave me the opportunity to fly Singapore Airlines longest flight in the world, New York to…

Bali, Indonesia: February 2018

For my birthday we decided to go to Bali, but since we’re tied to Star Alliance we decided to fly with Singapore Airlines via Singapore, which gave us about 12 hours on the ground in Singapore. We started the trip in Gangnam, at our favorite Omakase restaurant. Then off to the airport to check in,…

Hanoi + Ha Long Bay, Vietnam: October 2017

Over Korean Thanksgiving, called “Chuseok” or 추석, Summer and I went to Vietnam for about a week. We went to Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and Da Nang. We got to fly on Asiana’s new A350. We spent about a day and a half in Hanoi walking around and just enjoying the city. Their coffee is…

Kiev, Ukraine (Chernobyl): November 2016

Where to even begin…. Two friends of mine and I started planning a trip to Europe months ago but weren’t sure when we would go.  In planning the trip one day I said “do you know what would be crazy?  Let’s go to Chernobyl.”  Surprisingly both friends were on board so when the time came…

Da Nang, Vietnam: November 2016

After Tokyo, the following Thursday Ha Hyeon and I went to Da Nang, Vietnam!  It was Veteran’s Day holiday so it was the perfect excuse to spend a 3 day weekend out of town. This particular adventure starts with boarding the plane – we went through but I guess we got upgraded so they switched…

Phuket, Thailand: July 2016

Off to Thailand! I was definitely excited to visit Thailand as I had never been there before and had been wanting to go for some time.  Having my parents along for the ride just added to the fun! Of course heading to the airport was super simple in Hong Kong, and it makes me jealous…

Bali, Indonesia: February 2016

Yet again, we originally planned to go somewhere else.  This time we planned to go to Palawan in the Philippines but we decided against it because John’s girlfriend, who was going to fly over from Seattle and join us, had been there before.  So when we were brainstorming we were talking about Palawan but when…

I Flew Upstairs

“Upstairs” As seen in my last post I got a lounge voucher for Asiana’s lounge in the International Terminal.  I would also like to say that it’s cold enough outside that you need to wear heavy clothing but it gets warmer as you’re inside, and by the time I entered the lounge and sat down…
