High Living in Hong Kong

March 6, 2016 By Lauren 6 Comments

Our airline miles and hotel points have worked hard for us on our trip, but the value we realized from the four nights we spent in Hong Kong might be the most impressive yet. It also provided us with a fantastic example of how and when to cash in those free-night certificates that come along […]

Taking it Easy in Thailand

February 13, 2016 By Lauren 6 Comments

Much like Bali, Chiang Mai is another happy place for me. I first visited in the fall of 2012 on my six-week sabbatical from work with my travel partner-in-crime Jen and had the time of my life there. We loved everything about the place… from the ridiculously cheap massages, to the delicious coconut-infused food, to […]
