Thats what Thanksgiving should entail.  This afternoon we decided to ditch our Thanksgiving day dinner at the Pan Pacific Hotel and go for [...]

One year….a long time ago…like 2003 long time ago PC and I flew to see his sister who lived in Japan at the time. We had enough miles to get business class tickets but there were no seats available on United so we were told we could use them on one of their partner airlines- [...]
