Kaligo Makes It Easier to Earn a 10,000 Mile Hotel Booking Bonus — for New And Existing Customers Alike

Last month I wrote about new hotel booking site Kaligo. They’re similar to Rocketmiles and PointsHound in that they kick you back airline miles when you book hotels through their system.

Rick Report: Latest Applications, All In A Day’s Work

In the Streets of Chefchaouen

Manual Focus Street Photography Now that I use a lot of Leica lenses with my street photography, they require manual focus. It’s really not that bad, and I used to dread it. But with focus-peeking, it makes everything quite a bit easier. I’d say that I definitely get a better sense of getting things in […]

Kuwait Airways Vs. Qatar Airways Business Class?

On Friday I wrote about how I'm soon headed to the Park Hyatt Maldives, despite not really having a great reason to do so.

Park-Hyatt-Maldives

The Maldives isn't an easy destination to get to. First you have to fly to Male Airport, which is a bit of a haul, and then from there you have to take a seaplane and speedboat transfer to the actual hotel.
