Attainable Luxury Travel for the Working Professional …

I’m definitely not a Road Warrior. In fact, I’ve driven a car only once in the last ten years. I lack status on every major airline loyalty program. I’m certainly not independently wealthy. I’m just a regular guy in Chicago with a “Day Job.”

Nevertheless, I’ve managed to enjoy New Year’s Eves in London and Buenos Aires. I’ve spent a long we

ekend on a private luxury resort island off the Great Barrier Reef. I’ve flown in First Class to Australia, Hong Kong and Italy. All of those great vacations were thanks to Points. Airline points, hotel points, credit card points … even points for drinking Coca-Cola! You name it, I’ve collected it! I’ve started this blog to share with you my strategies for achieving my Dream Vacations … and what I’ve done once I’ve arrived at my destination. For a hardworking guy like myself, the accumulation (and redemption!) of miles and points have allowed me to treat myself to the occasional bit of luxury that normally would be out of reach of my regular paycheck. Given the fact that alot of us only have a limited amount of vacation time, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to travel in style and comfort? Yes, I’ll come off sounding a bit obsessive in my pursuit of points. However, I guess one person’s obsession can end up being another person’s passion. Perhaps that’s the better way of looking at things. I have a passion for travel and seeing new places. In addition, I subscribe to that old adage that “getting there is half the fun.” Yes, it is “all about the journey.” So with that, let’s get this blog started and I can start telling you how to get From Point A to … well, you fill in the blank.
