2013 is already flying by as I had a busy January in the sky. Highlights were attending the People’s Choice Awards and a G’Day Australi’s Black Tie Gala in Los Angeles. Then I flew to JFK to speak at the New York Times Travel Show before flying up to Canada to checkout the new Four Seasons Toronto. After that I flew to Florida to review the Marco Island Marriott and spend time with my dad who had a really rough January. I ended the month in Las Vegas which is where I snapped this photo. How about you? Did you have a busy January? Please share your airport codes below.

Todd, are you a flight attendant? Wow! Here is mine: MEL-SYD. That’s it. Lol….
Nope! Just a an absolute love for travel, flying, and blogging, Had a goal when I was 15 to fly 1,000,000 and visit 50 countries by 25 and I did it! Now I guess there is no stopping. Other goal is try every airlines First Class, so far I am 65% or so done!
This is so rude of me to ask, but how did you afford such a fete by the age of 25? I, too love to travel, but that alone won’t get me around the World!!
Not sure what you are asking. How did I afford it?
Johny-Believe she was asking me (see the post above about how I got to 50 countries by 25).
It wasn’t so much about the Money as it was about the dedication, time and learning every possible manipulation/trick/use of points and frequent flyer miles. Writing this from the lounge in Hong Kong as we speak-about to board Cathay Pacific First to Mumbai! Also started my own company that allowed/required a multitude of travel. I have a personal blog at http://www.travelatthespeedofflight.com/ (<– hope Johnny does not mind I post that).
Ah! I was wondering. I don’t mind
Hey Irie Girl, if you are interested on more funding travel advice I wrote a post about it on my blog: http://thisamericangirl.com/2013/01/11/how-to-fund-long-term-travel/ I’ve been traveling for the last year and have met a lot of people, also in their 20s, who travel all over the world.
Awesome, thank you. I’ll definitely check it out!!
Hi Johnny,
Received this email and wanted your opinion on whether it’s a good deal or not. 50000 points plus 25000 bonus points sells for $1750.
Get a 50% bonus when you buy or gift miles*
Buying miles is the easy way to get award travel, and gifting miles lets you help friends and family members reach their award travel goals quickly. You’ll get a 50% bonus – up to 50,000 bonus miles – when you buy or gift miles through February 28, 2013.
Buy 10,000 miles → Get 15,000 miles
Buy 25,000 miles → Get 37,500 miles
Buy 50,000 miles → Get 75,000 miles
Buy 100,000 miles → Get 150,000 miles*
Which airline is this for? I have never paid for miles but I would if I needed to top off my account. This seems like a good deal.
I received the offer from both US Airways and AA. The difference is that AA max bonus is 30000 miles, while US Airways is 50000.
Those two airlines are about to be one so go with the bette deal.
Your weekly Travel News, had an article about when it makes sense to buy miles and they used the current promo offered by AA…..so thank you!!!
That is definitely for Delta miles-I would say absolutely not. It is hard enough to find award availbility for what you want unless you reallly know how to work it (even then its often Futile). I would only do it if you had an award itinerary on hold already that you knew would work. Delta miles are called “SkyPesos” for a reason!
Thank you, Todd. I have checked out your Blog, thanks for your responses and suggestions!!
SEA, ATL, FLL, LGA, JFK, SEA and coming up: SEA, JFK, CDG, DEL, and back.
