Occasionally I stumble across ways of earning miles that are so easy that I wonder how I could have ever missed them. Thanks Again is one of those programs. The website allows users to register credit cards and then receive miles any time a registered card is used at a participating merchant. I found out…

The DFW Metroplex is geographically a very large area. That fact is something I regularly have to remind out of town friends when they visit. When I moved to Fort Worth seven years ago, many of them thought it was simply a matter of moving to a new neighborhood. It wasn’t. While my home airport…
In this video captured by Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Andrea Ahles, Southwest reveals its new paint scheme to the hometown crowd at a maintenance hangar event today in Dallas.

Clairebella lured me in with an offer of a cute keychain with free personalization. As a bonfide GRIT (“girl raised in Texas”) I’m all about monogrammed anything,…
Picture it… a tight connection through a difficult airport (in my case, the furthest A terminal gate at Charlotte Douglas International Airport to the furthest E terminal gate) made worse by a delayed inbound flight (runway incursion, aborted landing, no biggie). I have to dash through the airport to catch the last reasonable connecting flight…
Are you stuck at home this weekend? Tired of flipping through travel magazines and Pinterest photos of must-see destinations good for a vacation? Need to find inspiration for your next adventure?

I’ve been missing in action for much of the last week because my schedule has been intense – but in a good way! Its the start of the university school year and I’ve been knee-deep in sorority recruitment. There are all kinds of interesting reasons why people travel – work, hobbies, family, friends. Me? I…
Once in a while, I have very mainstream hotel stays. Okay, if we are being completely honest, I very frequently have stays at places that somehow don’t rate on the blogger remarkability map (i.e. they are not the Hyatt Vendome in Paris) – places like the Fairfield Inn Sandusky in north central Ohio. I feel…
