On my first day in Reykjavik, Iceland, it became obvious to me that I was in the second most expensive place I have ever visited. Oslo, Norway in 2013 was probably more expensive, before their currency meltdown of 2015. At that time in Norway, the cost of a Big Mac was over $19 USD. The…
WOW Air has flown me to Europe for the second time in 2017 on a $70 total price for a San Francisco to Copenhagen, Denmark one-way ticket. The deal this time is a WOW Air one-way ticket back to SFO was about $200 and Norwegian Airlines had better prices, as low as $118 for Oslo…

The main value I get from being a Club Carlson Visa card holder is Gold elite status. The main value I find with Club Carlson Gold elite status is the ability to book 2-for-1 and 4-for-2 weekend rates at hotels in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Currently, I have 12 nights at three Radisson Blu…
