T Magazine: Bhutan: A Higher State of Being

In the vertiginous mountains of the South Asian nation, where happiness is akin to holiness, bicycling has become much more than a national pastime. It’s a spiritual journey.

How to Spend Four Days in Prague

Prague is a destination that always seems to be in vogue. It’s been on the tourist map for a long time and the crowds show no signs of abating. Prague is a gorgeous, well-preserved medieval city coupled with a rich history, expansive parks, Vegas-style nightlife, and a hint of romance. The city holds a special place in my heart. It was the first city I backpacked through on my round-the-world trip in 2006. It was where stayed at my first […]

Don’t Lose Your Global Entry Privileges By Making This One Simple Mistake!

Global Entry is fantastic skipping the immigration and customs queues when you return to the U.S. I didn’t love the fingerprinting or background check that went along with it, but I figured all my cell phone data was being logged anyway long before Edward Snowden was cool. So if the surveillance was inevitable I figured […]

Official: The Centurion Lounge San Francisco Opens November 6, 2014

American Express has gotten into the airport lounge business, as they've been opening several of their own lounges for cardmembers around the country, called Centurion Lounges. So far they have lounges in Las Vegas, Dallas Ft. Worth, and New York LaGuardia.

American Express has announced two more lounge locations in the near future, in San Francisco and Miami. The Miami club is expected to open sometime in 2015, without an exact timeline yet.

There has been a lot of buzz about the new San Francisco club, which is much closer to completion. However, the opening date still hasn't officially been announced (at least not by American Express).

As I shared last week, the plan was for the new lounge to open on November 6, 2014. That wasn't in writing, however, but rather through an unofficial source.
