Full Disclosure: How I Got My Hilton HHonors Diamond Status Instantly, for Free

Just days ago I shared my elite status update and why I chose each program. Since that was meant as a window into my actual travels, and I reported just 4 stays and nights with Hilton for the year, I thought an update was appropriate. I now have Hilton HHonors Diamond status. Downgraded to Silver […]

Fortune-telling canaries: If you see a tiny yellow bird in a tiny wooden cage, it's not there to test air quality, but to predict your future.

Register To Earn Double Hilton Points

As some of you may recall, Hilton has taken an innovative approach with their fourth quarter promotion. In late September they let HHonors members vote for which promotion they'd like to see between November 1, 2014, and January 31, 2015.

Admittedly it was a choice between two not-so-exciting options, as follows:

-- Double points — earn double points starting on your second stay

-- 1K bonus points — earn 1,000 bonus points every night Thursday through Monday

Between those choices I suggested that the double points promotion was on balance a better option, and that promotion did indeed win.

Suspect named in park vandalism

It's a bad idea to deface national parks. It's even dumber to tag your vandalism across four states and have the images go viral among vexed nature enthusiasts.

American thesis statement for travel

We're conditioned to feel guilty when pursuing something that has nothing to do with what we do for money.

Things New Zealanders love to hate

Aussies. Yes, they're our closest neighbour. And, yes, many of us Kiwis move to Australia for better jobs. But that doesn’t mean we have to like each other!

Piss off someone from Long Island

Earn Thousands, Save Hundreds at the Drugstore

Earlier this week I did something I had not done in about four or five months: I stepped foot inside a pharmacy. The reason it had been so unusually long since I needed to enter a pharmacy? Drugstore.com. What is Drugstore.com? Fort those who have not heard about it before, Drugstore.com, owned by Walgreens, is […]
