Weekend in Costa Rica

Last night we returned from a very short trip to Costa Rica. We left on Saturday and got back into Toronto on Monday night. So two full nights in Costa Rica, it was a seat sale on Copa Airlines that paid us in United status miles and for $270 CAD return, who couldn't say no?

What is waiting for me in Hong Kong? United 1K.

No it isn't déjà vu. I'm on my way to Hong Kong again only two weeks after the last trip to the same city. Am I crazy? Maybe. But the deal was about $600 per return ticket and the trip to Hong Kong has a great reward at the end: United 1K.

Japan, here we come!

August 18th we embark on a two week long trip to Japan. Steven, Brad, Zak and our friend Alen will be joining us. We are stopping in Chicago on the way for a day then Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto and ending in Tokyo.

My Maui Hawaii Tips

I always equate Maui as paradise with the comfort of America. Beautiful beaches, resorts and a Costco to pick up liquor.

Oahu Hawaii

If you want to shop and eat just like you never left the mainland this is the island to go. Waikiki has everything you would find in a mainland America mall... but just a lot closer to the beach.
