Family Travel with Points and Miles
My wife got up around 2:30 and I quickly rolled over and went back to sleep as did the kids. She, unfortunately, would have to work while on vacation which means working east coast hours. The 6-hour difference would be painful in the mornings, but at least she's be done by noon local time and… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 6
This was our last full day on the Big Island before heading off for Maui the next day. It was our last chance to go see the Volcano National Park which was the main reason I wanted to go see the island. We had tried going there on our first full day but Tomatico was… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 4
Tomatico woke up pretty early, likely because he took a long nap the day before recovering from his motion sickness. By about 5:30 he was wide awake so I decided to go to the gym with him. We started off by jogging along the trails of the resort to see where things were. We found… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 3

While we had planned to fly to Hawaii in August of 2018, we were unable to go on that trip and had canceled the flights we had bought on miles. We paid the fee when we canceled so we wouldn't lose the 180,000 points we had transferred to buy those tickets originally so we had… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii – Flight Planning
We had a fantastic family trip to Hawaii in the summer of 2017. We had so much fun we planned to return in 2018 and had the trip all booked when we had a last minute conflict that caused us to cancel that trip. We were disappointed but kept the faith we would find the… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii – Summer Trip Planning
