I thought about that too, but I can't imagine her getting much being that this happened in Zimababwe. In the US she would be rich! In Zimbabwe maybe she can get a $50 billion bill which isn't worth the paper it is printed on!

The Mermaid Parade is a lot of fun but usually weirdos and freaky people show up not so many good looking people. Maybe you just noticed topless, painted people! lol

It actually happened I believe on New Years Eve. It didn't hit the news for a week which is kind of crazy. Channel 9 got the exclusive interview with the victim.

I also have never gotten up the nerve to bungy... I hate amusement park rides, rollercoasters and other similar things so I assume that I will puke and feel sick from a bungee! When my wife and I were in NZ, we did the Auckland bridge climb. Another couple that was at the meeting point were...

I thought that this story would be of interest as it involves an Australian girl that is lucky to be alive. An Australian tourist is lucky to be alive after her bungee snapped 25 meters above the water during a jump from the Zambezi River bridge in Zimbabwe. Erin Langworthy fell head first...

Have you stayed at the Burj? I got to visit it but not stay there! It is definitely hard to convince people to go to not-so westernized countries! Luckily my wife has been a good travel partner! Our second trip was all camping. It took a lot of talking her into doing it. We both loved it and had...

Can I ask you the age range of the group you are looking to plan the trip for? Also, what kind of travelers are you? (luxury, budget...) based on you looking at the Abercrombie brochure, I am assuming you are more looking for a luxury style tour...

I've been on trips to Africa two times. (I do not count Egypt as a trip to Africa) I visited South Africa (both times for a few days each time) Namibia Kenya Uganda Africa can seem dangerous but we really never had a problem and they are the most amazing...

I can't see Lan leaving One World, especially with the codeshare agreement which does seem to further strengthen the bond with AA. If Lan was to leave OW I can't imagine how they would make up for the loss of coverage to S. America. Last year my wife and I flew from NYC-Santiago using AA miles...

That is too bad that offers are not available to you... They have actually been getting better here in the US! I was actually working on a post for my blog that I am finishing up. In it I've listed all of the cards that I know I applied for in 2011 and the mileage bonus earned for each. The...

At this point I rarely apply for offers less than 50K.(not to say that I won't, it all depends on the program)

Not exactly a trip for me as I live pretty close to where this took place but I thought it was worthy of a report! I decided to join the Coney Island Polar Bears for their annual New Years Day Swim. It was really cold, interesting and a lot of fun so I made a post about it with lots of photos...

Happy New Year! I want to wish everyone on the AFF a healthy and happy new year!!! I made a post about celebrating New Years in Rome last year with some photos at: MichaelW Travels...: Happy New Year!

I don't know if you use Twitter, but I've had lots of positive experiences using it to communicate with airlines & hotels. I'd suggest that you sign up for an account and send a public message about what is going on. You need to do it in 140 characters or less but after doing so, I'd expect you...

Well hopefully better offers will open up around the world! I definitely think we are lucky in the US with the amount of offers we get...

USA Today has a very interesting map detailing airline mergers and bankruptcies. You can check out the map & my post about it at MichaelW Travels...: Airline Mergers & Bankruptcies Interactive Map

I totally agree with you. To me it is just a bit odd how this potential offer was released to the public before being approved, gained worldwide media coverage to only be shot down less than 3 months later.

Good one! I think the Chase reconsideration line is actually staffed by Americans, not outsourced- amazing & shocking, right?

I was really psyched when I heard back in October about Japan possibly giving out 10,000 free flights to help with the economy and tourism industry... I read earlier that the Japan Tourism Agency announced that this program was not approved as part of the government draft budget for 2012. I...

I've also been to S. America four times, Central Am. two times. I love that part of the world and always tell people to go! Have you been to any countries in Central Am?
