After buying a Frontier $58 round trip ticket for Las Vegas to Miami last November during a 99% off flash sale, I had the brilliant idea to ask my octogenarian parents if they wanted to join me for a 5 day trip to Florida. What was I thinking? Florida seemed like an opportunity to make…
Prague Airport MasterCard Lounge Terminal 1 is where I waited for a British Airways 11:20am flight to London LHR on a foggy morning. My plan for 2.5 hour layover in Heathrow with a lounge visit was thwarted by a flight departure delay, so I made use of the time in Prague for last call in…
An energy emanates from Plovdiv, Bulgaria. In one word, the place is ‘cool’ or ‘energetic’ or ‘creative’ or ‘ancient’. One word is not sufficient to encapsulate Plovdiv. Plovdiv is no place I had heard of before February 2017. On a free walking tour in Bulgaria’s capital city Sofia last winter, the guide encouraged anyone in…
Nonstop Prague to Nice on Sunday on Czech Airlines was $93, but I purchased a LOT Polish ticket instead for Prague to Nice flying Saturday afternoon with a 22.5 hour transit layover in Warsaw for $100.49 one way. Loyalty Traveler – Art Deco at Radisson Blu Alcron Prague (Free Friday stay). I had already flown to…
Our cheap Ryanair tickets flew us from Brno, Czech Republic to London Stansted for $39 one-way per ticket. Ryanair scheduled arrival for 18:35pm at Stansted meant I opted to go from Stansted Airport STN to London Heathrow LHR by National Express direct bus for a hotel rather than venture into central London for our last…

And it tastes so much better than the unrelated…
Some disparate thoughts have developed in my mind after 9 days traveling around Czechia hanging out in Prague, Pilsen and Brno. Despite having my wallet stolen in the first 30 minutes after arriving at Prague Airport, I have enjoyed our time here. English is widely spoken among younger people and virtually everyone involved with tourists…
Pilsen, Czechia is the birthplace of lager beer mass production. Besides Pilsner Urquell Brewery, the 4th largest city in the Czech Republic also holds the tallest cathedral in the country, the second largest synagogue in Europe, a brewing museum, and Patton Memorial Museum, covering the liberation of Pilsen by American troops during the last week…
Marriott Courtyard Pilsen, Czechia is one of only six Marriott Rewards category 1 hotels in Europe available for 7,500 points per night. This was a fantastic deal for our 2-night stay in July 2017 when the lowest comparable flexible cancellation rate was $151 USD per night. Prague to Pilsen transportation Pilsen is a one hour…
You might think I spend all my time in pubs from my trip reports out of Gdansk and Krakow, Poland. Of course, I don’t. I go back to my hotel each night for sleep. Seriously though, I like European lager beer and in Poland the beer is cheaper than buying a bottle of water in…
