Today is Valentine’s Day, but what does that really mean? Flowers? Chocolates? A romantic candlelight dinner? A flight to Paris? Sure, those are lovely ideas to celebrate with, but this year I challenge you to think differently. Hi I’m Joe, the proud father of your “points-obsessed” blogger. You can definitely say that the travel bug … [Read More…]
53754 Miles Later, I’ve Taken British Airways Avios By Storm
When two of my favorite drugs come hand in hand (miles and shopping), it’s really hard to say no to temptation, especially when Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I have some bargaining leeway with Kevin (just kidding- I’m self-sufficient, I swear). Last Friday, The Points Guy posted an insane offer – Triple … [Read More…]
I’m Clearly Ruining Valentine’s Day… I Wear the “Points” in This Relationship
Apparently I’ve reached a point of no return when it comes to collecting points and miles. Take a look at the actual conversation I just had with Kevin via text message: For those of you who are “iPhone-impaired” – the text in green is me, and the text in gray is him :) Please make … [Read More…]

Up until yesterday, I had two cars – my cute little 2010 Mazda3 and my “beater” car, a 2002 … [Read More…]
My Favorite Part About Having Elite Airline Status
Last month, Kevin achieved Gold Elite status with Continental/United for the first time after all of his previous-year’s travels and his first mileage run.

I chuckle when he complains to me … [Read More…]
My 2012 Resolution: More Spontaneous Travel
As the rest of NYC gets glitzy and glammed-up for their NYE endeavors, I write to you in a perfectly-content state of mind (from my couch in jeans and tee, mind you) about my 2012 New Year’s Resolution which is to include more spurts of spontaneous travel spread throughout the year.

Shipped to Seattle and Back – My First Mileage Run
This is Kevin. I’m your self-imposed host for the night. Time for a friendly hijack. :) Completed. 4802 flown miles in less than a day’s span. Whew. Luckily that converts to 6002.5 elite qualifying miles by having Continental OnePass silver elite status. Hi, my name is Kevin, and I am Angelina’s “mister”, or in this … [Read More…]
