Adventure 101: Shore Diving in Bonaire

Magnificent Bonaire stands firmly on a pinnacle, reigning supreme over all other shore diving destinations in the world. With a decidedly rugged character, this charming Dutch island in the southern Caribbean skips chain hotels and instead woos dedicated divers with easy access to underwater wonder.

The Secret Of Flying Singapore Suites

Unless you've been flying regional jets with no wifi this week, you've probably seen the "$23,000 Singapore Airlines Suites Class" trip report circling around social media. As interesting as the report itself are the claims that some of the text and pictures were stolen from other bloggers. I'm not sure whether that's the case or not, though it has added a fun twist to this report.


What's amazing to me though is the comments this story has been getting! Things like:


"That's an insane amount of money! You could buy a car!"


"We should do this! But we'd have to rob a bank first..."


"Too bad I'll never be able to afford that!"

How To Adjust Your Spending To Delta’s New Transfer Limits

Yesterday I posted about a huge change to the Delta SkyMiles program, whereby starting in 2015 members can only transfer 250,000 points from American Express Membership Rewards to Delta SkyMiles per calendar year.


Well, these changes are even further reaching than that. Via the SkyMiles News & Updates page:


"Beginning January 1, 2015, a new 250,000-mile allowance will go into effect for transfers from SkyMiles partner loyalty programs. The maximum amount of points transferable into a given SkyMiles account will be 250,000 miles (or equivalent) per partner during each calendar year."
