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.

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. Until - eureka! I managed to find an appointment for him in October at TPA, which was perfect...
Planning Our New Zealand Trip
When we booked the tickets to Auckland earlier this year, it felt like we had plenty of time to plan. Now that we’re a few weeks out, I’m realizing we need to pick up the pace on the things we’re still interested in locking down before we go!
