Happy New Year!

Welcome 2019, looking forward to another exciting year of “on the road” adventures. 2018 was a busy travel year. Last year I flew over 160,000 miles across multiple airlines including Alaska Airlines, Delta, American Airlines, United Airlines, Jet Blue and Southwest. I stayed in over 120 room nights in with my primary brands being Hyatt and Marriott. I rented over 100 days worth of rental cars from National Car Rental. I’ve spent countless hours in airports even when I try my best to avoid spending time in airports. Thank goodness I got CLEAR last year! TSA-Precheck and CLEAR are the business traveler’s best friends.

One of my goals for 2019 is to find better work-life harmony as Jeff Bezos puts it. Working on scheduling my travels earlier in advance to get not only better pricing but to also plan my calendar farther out in advance so I can book around meaningful events in my family’s life.

To help start out the new year, on my first flight of the year Delta upgraded me from 25C to 1D. Thanks Delta for the upgrade!
