Where to stay in Chicago for the weekend in November? We spent Saturday night at Pendry Chicago for the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival. As an American Express Platinum cardholder, I utilized the following benefits: a $200 hotel credit, a $100 credit toward qualifying activities, and a $60 daily breakfast credit.

Do you need helpful tips for a stunning Oahu trip? I have only visited Oahu in June, July, and November. Each time the weather was perfect. I am back in July for a family trip with my son, daughter-in-law, and bonus grandbaby. We are staying in Waikiki for seven nights.

I share why I flew to Arizona during the pandemic in this post. The pandemic had me spooked. I believed I would die from the coronavirus and never see my son again. I know I was not thinking clearly, but I missed my only child. Facetime was not the answer.
Have you thought about attending road games with the Chicago Bears? I look forward to the release of the Bears schedule to put a preseason, home, or away game on my calendar. Although it would be great to score tickets to a home game, I can also hit the road.

In this post, I share how I started 2019 traveling. I booked a roundtrip nonstop flight on Southwest to Phoenix, Arizona. I left Chicago on New Year. In hindsight, I did not think about the logistics of this trip. I booked my accommodations near Fashion Square Mall and T.J. Maxx.
