As has become our tradition, we took a trip over Thanksgiving week. This year we visited the vacation home that my parents recently purchased in Port Charlotte, FL. For the last two days of our getaway, we traveled to Legoland, Florida, located on the grounds of the old Cypress Gardens. About halfway between Tampa and…
We ventured out to Pere Lachaise Cemetery one slightly drizzly morning. Many Americans are most familiar with Jim Morrison of The Doors being buried there. And we certainly did make the effort to find his grave. I was always a fan of their music and didn’t get a chance to come here during my high…
Valid Photo ID? Continuing on the humor theme for this fine Saturday, Lucky at the One Mile At a Time miles & points blog, posted this recent observation!

Of course as many travelers know, rooms in European cities will tend toward the smaller side, compared to North America, and rooms for more than two people can be harder…
Paris – the CIty of Lights…who doesn’t love that grand old city!? In 2009 our daughter was turning 12 and it seemed like the right time to start planning an overseas trip. I hadn’t yet learned all of the valuable resources for finding good ticket prices and even better, nearly free tickets via frequent flyer programs.…
