It has been another good week and thanks for coming along on the ride! I have enjoyed getting some miles and points things lined up this week for trips this year and have a couple that I am really excited about.
One of the things that I really want to do on the blog this year is to bring more multimedia onboard. There are a lot of great things that miles and points allow us to see for next to nothing and I want to be able to bring that to everyone captured in a way that makes it more clear.
BTW, if you like seeing some fantastic photography for travel and airlines/hotels, check out fellow BoardingArea blogger Andy’s Travel Blog. He has some great work on his site!
Anyway, here are the posts that appeared here on the blog this week, in case you may have missed something that might interest you.
