Planning for Denver, Colorado
Colorado has been featured on the blog not infrequently because Megan and I both have had great vacations there. I am headed back this month for a team offsite; I’m going to Denver (again), baby!
What I Scored on Travel Tuesday
While I definitely did some damage on Black Friday and Cyber Monday I scored my most exciting deals on Travel Tuesday.
That Time When… I Got SSSS on My Boarding Pass
After an easy SkyDrive bus ride to AKL, we got to the American Airlines kiosk to print paper copies of our boarding passes. While going through the process, it gave us the opportunity to confirm our known traveler numbers for Global Entry. Tyler’s number was listed, but despite inputting it twice, mine wouldn’t come through. This was annoying, but I wasn’t overly concerned about it - we’d have to go through security regardless - until my boarding pass finally printed. In big letters, my boarding pass had SSSS.
Black Friday Celebrity Cruise Deal
Forget all the retail deals this year and treat yourself and your loved ones an epic adventure in 2023.
Our 4-Day Itinerary for Hahei, New Zealand

How to Get to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves from Auckland
As I shared a couple weeks ago, we wanted to figure out a way to get to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves while we’re in New Zealand. Yesterday, we locked in our plans, which for us, is the best way to get to the caves from Auckland. Here’s what we did to make it happen...
Why I Highly Recommend Rentals in Orlando
Have you ever been on a vacation and just not had enough space?
Maybe your family of 4 was trapped into a 500 sq ft room with 2 beds and 1 bathroom. Or you couldn’t enjoy the rest of your evening because you were in a room with sleeping kids.
That Time When… We Got Ghosted by Global Entry
So, Tyler and I got to make use of our new Global Entry status during our trip to Toronto, Canada, for our anniversary, but since it’s been impossible to get an interview for Global Entry, we suspected we’d have to have the kiddo interview after we returned from our New Zealand trip next month.
