Regular Travel Reviews
In November 2022, we took a 12 day Scandinavian vacation, first arriving for 3 nights/2 days in Copenhagen, Denmark, then flying up to spend 3 nights in Oslo, Norway, flying down to spend 2 nights in Stockholm, Sweden, and then taking the train to end back in Copenhagen for 2 nights (to end up with a total...

While in Las Vegas for a trade show, I was also staying at the Resorts World Conrad. Because of this, I used The Boring Company's Las Vegas Loop transport system to get to and from the hotel. Lots has been said about the Las Vegas Loop system. Both positive and negative. Like most things, it... Continue Reading →
While visiting Denali National Park, we camped at the Savage River Camp Ground. In the Savage River Area there are 2 hiking trails that we explored. The first is the Savage River Loop. An easy 2-mile loop that starts and ends at the Savage River parking lot and shuttle stop. The second is the Savage... Continue Reading →
Today is somewhat of a bucket list trip: Singapore Airlines A350 in Business Class. We're finally finishing the last leg of our round the world trip with the longest flight in the world. The end of a vacation is always bitter sweet, but at least we're traveling home in style with Singapore. This Singapore to... Continue Reading →
Singapore Airlines has an amazing meal pre-order system for business class passengers. This isn't the usual pre-order with 4-6 options that area all offered on board, Singapore has "Book the Cook." The menu has more that 50 options, the vast majority of them won't be a part of the onboard menu. I got to try... Continue Reading →
As a continuation of our trip around the world, we're spending 3 nights just outside of Da Nang at the Sheraton Grand Resort. As this portion of the trip is sandwiched between Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore, we wanted a little bit of a break and going to the Sheraton Grand Danang Resort on... Continue Reading →
On our trip to Vietnam, we stayed for 3 nights at the Le Méridien Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City. I mostly chose the Le Méridien Saigon due to the location and the relatively inexpensive price for a higher end property. Vietnam is inexpensive so I figured why not splurge on a nice hotel that I wouldn't... Continue Reading →
For Christmas break in December 2022/January 2023, James and I (Valerie) were visiting family down in Florida. My parents and brother live near Orlando, and my brother and I grew up as Harry Potter fans, so I thought it would be nice as a Christmas present (for him as well as myself) to spend a...

It's always fun to ride on new airlines. For me, that's today with Vietnam Airlines on their 787-9 in Business Class between LHR and SGN. I've also never traveled between Europe and Asia before. I've been to both Europe and Asia lots of times, just never from one directly to the other, so that's very... Continue Reading →
In November 2022, we spent 4 days in Copenhagen, Denmark as part of a long 12 day vacation in Scandinavia! We flew into Copenhagen to start our trip, spending 2 nights exploring the city, and then we made our way over to Oslo, Norway for 3 nights and then Stockholm, Sweden for 2 nights. We...

The Air France Salons (Lounges) at CDG are pretty pleasant places to spend some time between flights. The Air France Lounge in Terminal 2G isn't the nicest lounge in the world, but it's clean, has decent food options, and is more relaxing than sitting in the CDG 2G terminal. The CDG 2G terminal is a... Continue Reading →
The Air France A350-900 in business class might be my favorite way to cross the Atlantic. From start to finish the experience is just extremely pleasant. Air France just does everything right. I rode on the Air France A350 in Business Class back in 2022, I'm interested in seeing if there are any differences this... Continue Reading →
The Milwaukee Mitchell Airport is named after an interesting man named Billy Mitchell. Within the Airport Terminal there is the Mitchell Gallery of Flight. A small air and space museum that displays Wisconsin related artifacts. The Mitchell Gallery of Flight is named after Brigadier General William "Billy" Mitchell. I've done a few reports about my...

Spending 4 nights and 4 days in Sardinia was a glorious part of our incredible spring vacation to the Mediterranean, after traveling for 30 hours to get to the French Riviera, hanging out in Nice and Monaco. We spent 2 nights near the Nice airport and then went back to the airport to take a... Continue Reading →
