Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa Review
Getting there The Champagne region of France is located about 1 hour and 45 minutes away from Charles de Galle airport. Car transfers from the hotel and services like Blacklane were ~$1000USD, so we decided to rent a car and drove to the Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa. Since our flight from Athens arrived around […]
Amanzoe review
Getting there We arranged a car transfer with Amanzoe, and our driver arrived at the Sofitel Airport Hotel 15 minutes before our scheduled pickup time of 8AM. We were up early from the time change, so we appreciated the fact that he was early, and we departed on time. It is a 2hr 45min drive […]
Sofitel Athens Airport Review
Getting there The Sofitel Athens Airport has an unbeatable location. It’s a short five-minute walk directly across the street from the airport, no taxi needed. We have used this hotel in the past on the night before an early flight out of Athens, but on this trip, we arrived late and just needed a bed […]
Lufthansa 747 First Class Review
How I booked I initially booked award travel on Turkish Airlines back in January for 77k United Mileage Plus points per person. I would have been happy with that itinerary, but Jason was keeping tabs on Lufthansa opening up First Class award availability to partners, and sure enough, they released 2 seats about 24 hours […]

Amantaka
Getting there The plane taking us to Luang Prabang arrived at Siem Reap very late so we landed at Laung Prabang after dark. On the flip side, the arrivals hall was nearly empty so it look us less than 10 minutes to have our visas processed. The hotel offers a service to help but we […]
A local’s guide to the perfect date spots in San Francisco
Just drinks Charmaine’s Tenderloin This rooftop bar, which are surprisingly hard to come by in SF, is located on top of the Kelly Wearstler designed Proper Hotel and is one of my favorite spots to meet for drinks.

Amankila
Getting there After a 24+ hour journey to Bali with an extended layover in Incheon due to fog, we finally made it to Bali around midnight of our arrival day. We checked into the Grant Hyatt close to the airport before being picked up the next morning by our driver to take us to Amankila. […]
