Amazing places, Part 1

It's been some time, I hope all you wanderlusters are well and dreaming of a travel life most of this planet only sees and reads about in magazines.

I'm here at the beach in Gulf Shores, AL consulting on hurricane work and I thought this painting I saw today would be fitting for my travel blog. I unfortunately do not know the artist but if any of you do please give him/her amazing props for a job well done.

The last two photos are from the beachfront hotel I'm currently residing in and taking in near darkness on the Note 20 Ultra with no additional filters.

Keep that wanderlust alive..

Here at Louie’s Cleaning & Disaster Restoration we have a debate weekly on what we believe is “good” coffee. Some of us like Folgers and some of us would rather suffer from a caffeine migraine than drink said Folgers. 🙃 However you take your coffee, get loaded up on it and have a great Monday!

Throwback to this past winter when life was a normal pace and flying internationally didn't depend on a diplomatic pass

28/06/2020

Amazing roadtrip with my son to Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. We toured and hiked both the South and North sections.

This video is of the more remote North section.

The great American roadtrip

Edit for the video. In North America these animals are called Bison, se Asia and Africa have Buffalo

Happy Tuesday to you all.

Today Bora Bora is on my mind.

I hope all has been halfway decent during this Quarantine that we are all facing together.

Every now and then I find a absolutely killer deal to a exotic locale and have to share my travel itinerary with you all.

This is a Nonrefundable ticket but if I decide I am out I'll have the money spent on this ticket for future travel within two years (normally one) if I do not cancel by tonight.

Late last night I was bouncing ideas off for a flight itinerary this November for my Birthday trip. I randomly put in LAX (Los Angeles) to PPT (Pappette, Tahiti) and came up with a mind boggling low dollar Fare for a round-trip deeply discounted Economy class ticket. I searched every other large city to get comparative numbers such as: NYC, ATL, DTW, MSP, LAS, SLC, SEA, PDX, SFO and NONE came back as low or for that matter anywhere near the pricepoint as flying direct from LAX to PPT.

Looks like I maybe headed back to Bora Bora for my Birthday this coming November.

This is a RT ticket leaving on Nov 3rd, flying into Pappette, Tahiti Nov 4th early and leaving Nov 8th at 8ish in the morning. I'd have three full days in Bora Bora.

I did this exact flight back for my 38th Birthday trip and had a killer time at the Hilton Bora Bora. It has since been rebranded into a Conrad.

My goal, if I take this trip is Pay with Points for my Conrad stay so literally my only out of pocket expense will be the $500+ RT 45 minute plane ride from Pappette to Bora Bora and the jet ski experience that I did back four years ago jet skiing around the island of Bora Bora.

On Nov 7th I'd fly back into Papette on a late morning flight, rent a car and drive around the island again, sleeping in the car before I fly out early on the 8th to save cash. There is a Priority Pass lounge at Papette International that I get no charge access to from a credit card that I hold. I'd get breakfast and a shower at the lounge before the 8 hour flight back to LAX.

So there ya go. If you have ever wanted to fly into Tahiti on the cheap and you can take vacation time in November you ought to jump on this flight as I presume this sale will be gone soon.

This is a Deeply Discounted Main Cabin Fare, V Class. Once this fare bucket sells out the price goes up.

Bringing back a great memory of jet-skiing around the island of Bora Bora to celebrate my 38th.

A throwback to two days at the Conrad, Koh Sumai in the One Bedroom Royal Oceanview Pool Villa back in 2018

10/04/2020

I need this in my life right about now.

I'm a coffee fiend/nerd... I love a excellent cup. I've literally flown to Bali to source Kopi Luwak coffee for my company then turn around ten hours later to fly home

07/04/2020

It has been a long few weeks of quarantine. I hope you and family are well and safe.

Moving forward I am going to be blogging about trips being planned and a few photos of amazing places here and there.

This coming November I'm turning 43. Last year I flew Around the World east to west and this year I thought..."Why don't I just do the same but fly west to east".

Times change very quickly with me. I have a travel mentor who somehow/someway put in my mind crazier travel than what I thought was possible.

This coming November I am now floating the idea of flying into EVERY SINGLE Latin and South American country capital (within safety concerns such as Caracas and Managua) within ten days to two weeks. I have absolutely no idea if this is even possible given the time-frame but with me, sleeping in airports is my forte. I'm game for this crazy adventure.

What do you all think? Does something like a extensive blog of flying in and literally out of every Latin and South American Capital seem anywhere remotely interesting to any of you?

Let me know in the comments please. If so, I absolutely game for this crazy adventure.

01/04/2020

Dreaming of being back in Bora Bora but at this point in our "Stay at Home order" I'll take a camping trip down by the river

25/03/2020

Out of solidarity with others who can not travel I decided to take a little time off from posting these past few weeks.

Today I start back up with "Sleeping in Airports"

The first photo is the best place I've found at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage to take a nap. 2nd level at far west end you'll find a bench. There is a restroom near along with airport offices making this place the quietest area in the airport to nap.

Second photo is at Ngurah Rai International Airport on the Island of Bali. This place which is now closed access was at the bottom 4th floor under the far east walking ramp. I found that the workers from the airport, instead of going home would come here, sleep and then go about their normal day. It was truly amazing to people watch.

Traveling means being in a lot of hotels. This long weekend is Daddy/Daughter weekend which means every year on my little love's birthday she goes into my back office and picks a place on this planet that she wants me to take her to. She originally picked Hawaii and the Bahamas BUT then she had a awakening and wanted a zoo and not just a far away zoo but the Kansas City Zoo (5 hours away from our home) So here we are, daddy and his little love on a monumental date trip to Kansas City. My little girl loves American Girl (had no idea) and she just so happened to bring "Willa" on the trip. The #Doubletree by #Hilton is the only hotel in the Kansas City area that has a American Girl themed room package. Enjoy as these are the memories I hope to hold onto as I gracefully age in life

Back for a memory of Bali This was my first trip to the island of Bali. I literally landed, was driven to the Airbnb on the beach then was picked up by the hired minder to take me to the top of the highest point in Bali, Mt Angung. Mt Angung erupted a few years ago and climbing to the top is off limits. This was a trip never to be duplicated. Enjoy the view from the top of Mt Angung volcano, Bali, Indonesia

Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Wanderlust my friends

There is a raging blizzard outside and the interstates are closed so today is a great day to post the video walk-thru of the Thonburi Suite at 137 Pillars and Suites that I stayed in for my 24 Hours in Bangkok.

About that time again
