    Here’s to Less… a New Year’s Intention

    ByJennifer Moody December 31, 2016December 31, 2016

    As the last day of 2016 rolls around, it is time to focus on the future. This year was a crazy one, as I outlined yesterday – almost 200,000 miles of air travel, over a month at sea, and high utilization at work make me surprised I accomplished as much as I did on a…

    A Year in Review – 2016

    ByJennifer Moody December 30, 2016

    Don’t let my silence on Jetsetters Homestead fool you. This has been a crazy year despite my lack of chronicles. In some ways, I haven’t felt like I’ve had enough to write about (certainly not in the world of mileage program changes or hotel reviews where I never scoop anyone).  In other ways, I’ve felt…

    An Exotic Thanksgiving

    ByJennifer Moody November 24, 2016

    I’ve spent many a Thanksgiving away from home – some of them in interesting locales creating a truly exotic Thanksgiving indeed. Its the byproduct of having a career where getting away for long stretches of time isn’t always feasible.  Combining paid time off with scheduled holidays is a great way to stretch the time off budget…

    When to Call it Quits – World of Hyatt Replaces Gold Passport

    ByJennifer Moody November 23, 2016June 5, 2024

    Sometimes you face the inevitable. Either a situation takes a turn for the worse or continues on a downhill slide. Eventually you find yourself wondering if what you want is realistic. Or facing the reality that the goal you’ve been working toward is perhaps not worth the hassle. That’s when you have to figure out…

    Can Airport Security Be Entertaining?

    ByJennifer Moody October 28, 2016June 5, 2024

    Its no secret that I hate waiting in airport security lines.  If I am to ever be arrested, it will happen at airport security.  Some who have traveled with me may actually have odds on it. My penchant for efficiency and my smart mouth are not a good combination, it seems.  I have a couple…

    Chasing Alexander Calder

    ByJennifer Moody October 27, 2016June 5, 2024

    Many frequent travelers I know have certain rituals or routines that punctuate their trips.  Two different friends have each amassed a large collection of Starbucks city mugs.  Others collect snowglobes or Hard Rock Café pins.  I collect Alexander Calder. Its not (for the most part) a physical collection – although I do own two handsigned epreuve d’artist…

    This is Why I Won’t Be Traveling This Thanksgiving

    ByJennifer Moody October 25, 2016June 5, 2024

    I have a loose agreement with my family.  We can be flexible on when or if I celebrate holidays (birthdays, national celebrations, and religious ones).  This allows me to take long weekends (like Thanksgiving) to travel without cutting into my personal leave balance. My mom has no issue putting a leftover turkey dinner in my…

    Becoming Agnostic – How I Lost My Loyalty

    ByJennifer Moody October 25, 2016

    Agnostic ag·nos·tic /aɡˈnästik/ – having a doubtful or noncommittal attitude toward something. I used to care about loyalty. I was a slave to the loyalty programs I had chosen – sleeping in inferior hotels (sometimes changing properties in close proximity to increase my stay count), doing an occasional mileage run to top off my account…

    Instagram Sunsets and Other Random Snaps

    ByJennifer Moody October 24, 2016October 24, 2016

    True confession – I love Instagram.  For me, it is a great easy way to share random snaps from what may be going on my life on any particular day.  I am particularly fond of airplane window seat views (particularly sunrises and sunsets, as well as takeoffs and landings), food porn, and an occasional selfie.  I…

    Worst Travelers Ever

    ByJennifer Moody October 24, 2016October 23, 2016

    Some people are the worst travelers.  Ever. The reality is that anyone can be among the worst travelers on a bad day. I’ve encountered plenty in my day. There are all those folks featured on passenger shaming sites. There is that guy who threw trash at me in the airport that one time. There is that…

    I am I used to be a raving fan girl for American Airlines.  But that has not been the case in 2016.  For the last 24 months, my patience with my hometown airline has been wearing thin.  Its time to make American great again. First it was the short-lived changes to inflight service that cut out food…

    As I prepare to leave for Europe next week, my to do list seems to be growing longer rather than shorter.  I’m leaving DFW in a little more than 48 hours.  I’ll be making a 2 day pit stop in Seattle to visit a client and teach at my firm’s new consultant boot camp.  Then I’ll…
