Weekly Round Up: I Can Explain

 

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  This week I tried out a few things in the kitchen and saw an incredible TV show.

Weekly Round Up: Stuff I've Loved Recently

A weekly round up: it's normally eats, workouts, watches, and reads, but this week we're using a looser format so that I can tell you about a bunch of odds and ends.  We'll kick it off from a picture from one of my hikes this weekend, and then get into the goods.

Let's Go Places: Frankfort, Kentucky

Greeting Friends!  This weekend I put another check mark in my "spend at least one night in every state in the next 10 years" and "tour all of the State Capitols" goals.  I planned to do a lot of hiking but ended up touring breweries instead.  This is that story.

A Travel Hacking/Bank Bonus Update

In January I wrote a post called My Weird Hobby: A Credit Card/Bank Bonus Earnings Report where I dished the dirt on my baby steps into the world of travel hacking.

The big question that I had before I started looking into travel hacking was: can I do better than a cash back credit card, and if so, HOW?????  

I planned to write an update next year, but since I just scored a big coup, I thought I would drop the deets in real time.  The biggest thing to know about me is that I am someone who is learning about travel hacking by doing travel hacking.  I am learning as I go, so what I am doing may or may not be "the best way".  The second biggest thing to know about me is that I am someone who is susceptible to decision fatigue.  I don't mind taking a bit of time to look up flights and crunch numbers, but I do mind taking a lot of time to do it.  I would rather make a "good enough" decision now than an optimal decision later.  This is the story about how I achieved those goals for a pricey trip that I have coming up.
