Closed for MLK weekend
I hope you’re enjoying your 3-day weekend! In honor of practicing what I preach, I’m going to take the next few days off to recharge my batteries here in Turks & Caicos. I’ll “see” you again on Wednesday.

“Best membership fee I pay”
I honestly never thought you could leave the country without spending at least $1k-$1500 on a flight alone.
I’m doing an 11 day trip to Colombia that will only cost $700 for flight & lodging, and JGOOT found it for me.
Best membership fee I pay.

Southwest ups signup bonus, making Companion pass easy possibility
A good friend shared this in our premium member area, and since the last time this happened, it only lasted a couple days, I wanted to share.

My Annual Shopping Spree at Dillard’s
For the past 7 or 8 years I’ve gone shopping on Jan 1, at Dillard’s, and I usually buy the majority of my clothes for the year during that sale. I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of Dillard’s from a Jan 1 sale with less than 15 items of clothing (usually 20 or 25), […]
