Arrived in Cuzco - exited the airport with just enough time … [Read more...]

How my Trip to Haiti Came About
My trip to Haiti came about in the most random way. Haiti was my last country to visit in the Caribbean - it has certainly been on my radar for some time.

I signed up for the American Airlines Aviator card - made a few purchases in the first few months triggering 60,000 miles. I soon turned around and cashed in those miles for this trip - … [Read more...]
