An Epic Journey to Cambodia: Part II

Our visit to Northern Cambodia and exploring Angkor Wat exceeded our expectations. After leaving the beautiful north, it was time to travel back through the capital city of Phnom Penh where things take a more hectic pace and the surroundings are much grittier. There is still a lot to see and do here, however, and […]

Delta Just Quietly Made a Change to the SkyMiles Terms and Conditions That May Reveal Their Whole Game

Yesterday I asked if Delta was slipping a whole new mileage redemption system in the back door. They’ve made lots of changes lately, totally in the dark and without announcement. They’ve pulled award charts off of their website, and now say that awards cost whatever price members are presented with at the time they search […]

Pick Pocketing Or Premeditated Crime? You Tell Me!

This post is a continuation of my earlier post, about how my mom was robbed at the W Barcelona. So if you haven’t yet read that post, I’d suggest reading it first.

When we woke up this morning we thoroughly searched every inch of the room to be sure the purse wasn’t anywhere to be seen. I had my mom talk me through the entire evening, and I even went a bit “Inspector Gadget” on her. I searched the guest bathroom carefully to see if there were any hints as to the guy’s motives for coming to the room.

Below is a summary of what followed. And the more I write this out, the more I realize this almost certainly wasn't a random pick pocketing, but rather something that was at a minimum premeditated, and at worst, much more than that...
