“Points and Miles are a Currency that Loses Value Over Time” My Interview with Mighty Travels

by

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am spending the holiday with my wife and her family in South Carolina. I have decided to keep the laptop shut for most of my time here, so that means less blogging and more family time. With that said, I will be making an exception over the next few days to talk about my current and upcoming travels to Milan with my wife for a nice long … [Read more...] about “Points and Miles are a Currency that Loses Value Over Time” My Interview with Mighty Travels

America the Beautiful! We often write about the beauty of places we visit across the globe, but in reality the United States are beautiful in their own right. This week's poll asks you to do the impossible: Choose the most beautiful state in America.

The last two days were eventful for me and that is why I have not had a chance to post recently. It started yesterday as I helped put on the 2013 MIMA Summit in Minneapolis, our … [Read more...] about Impressed With Indianapolis – Quick Impressions After 16 Hours in Indy

Golfing with Delta and American Express at Hazeltine National Golf Club

by

Hazeltine National Golf Club has hosted several major US Golf tournaments, including the US Open in 1970 and 1991 and the 2002 and 2009 PGA Championship. As a native Minnesotan and some-time golfer, Hazeltine is one of those courses that one never imagines they will have the opportunity to play. It just seems too far out of reach to golf at a private course that hosts major … [Read more...] about Golfing with Delta and American Express at Hazeltine National Golf Club

My Interview Questions for Mark Cuban – How Does Mark Travel?

by

Hi Mark! I emailed you a while back to request an interview with you, but I think it was while you were filming this season Shark Tank. I'm sure that you get a million emails a day, so I figured perhaps making a web page with the interview questions would be a better way to reach you. You probably have no idea who I am and that is expected. We actually met once in … [Read more...] about My Interview Questions for Mark Cuban – How Does Mark Travel?
