My Dad has done so much for me throughout my life. Raising me, taking care of me, and helping mold me into the person I am today. In decades past, my dad has traveled to Mexico and Canada with the US Navy but this truly was going to be his first “overseas” trip. I travel…

The folks over at JORD wood watches gave me an opportunity to try out one of their beautiful wood watches so I though I’d share my impressions. Let’s just say I’m impressed with the Frankie watch! I received my Frankie watch via mail in one of JORD‘s custom mailing cartons. The…

Thanks to the heads up from a fellow travel geek, I happened to be transiting through London Heathrow Terminal 3 on American Airlines on this day. Chris, my Dad, and I were headed back…

Obviously Virgin Atlantic and BA aren’t partner airlines so…

I did visit the American Airlines Admiral Club at DFW on the outbound flight which is an okay lounge. However, in comparison, the Cathay Pacific lounges at HKG are fantastic. With a 2:30 PM departure from HKG on my return flight, I arrived fairly early to the airport as I wanted plenty of…
