I first got our family traveling by saving up miles and points from various credit cards & loyalty programs. In time I've learned there are a few that rise above the rest -- and one is the Chase Sapphire card. It is offering its highest bonus of the year right now -- so if you're points-curious, I encourage you to check it out.

Earn 75,000 bonus points with either Chase Sapphire® card. (Yes, I can be rewarded if you apply here and are approved for the card.)

Croatia -- July 15-22, 2023. It's definitely happening. I priced it as low as I could to make it accessible to as many people as possible - cabins are available!

Here's something new: Royal Caribbean International is accepting applications for Covid-era trial sailings, starting as early as this January. Already had the virus? Feeling especially lucky? Willing to be a test subject on the open waters? Trial sailings are part of the CDC's conditional framework, as each cruise line's ships need to be certified to sail once again from the US.

If you're interested in this very unusual offer, you can fill out an application for your free sail to CocoCay here:
