I’m not entirely sure why, but WordPress decided to burp up one of my posts from 2012 last night and e-mail it out to all of my subscribers. So, first, apologies to those that got it and didn’t want it. It covered my thoughts…
The days are long past where I used to focus on the airline mileage dining programs. They used to be quite lucrative but the payouts have become diluted over the years. They also don’t generally fit my travel patterns. That being said, they still…
