My friend, I’m kind of in shock.

Probably like you, we love traveling. But this is the first weekend in a while my family isn’t in airports, hotels, rental cars, ride shares, or packing to go on a trip.

Part of us is happy to chill out at home.  But we also kinda sorta look longingly at planes flying overhead and wonder, Where are those people on that flight going? What are they doing this weekend?

But we also still have some unfinished business from our last trips:

KAYANOVA People who unpack their suitcase the day they return from a trip  are serial killers. - iFunny
I assure you. My family is not comprised of serial killers. You should see our bedrooms, closets, and living room. (via @thekaynova)

This week on the blog, we tackled several interesting subjects.

Sadly, there’s bad news for some of us who love the Virgin Clubhouse at London Heathrow.

There are a ton of people traveling right now. Your baggage might be delayed. Don’t forget about Delta’s luggage guarantee!

Do you notice a difference between Lyft and Uber prices when order XL cars?

If you hold an Amex Business Platinum Card and haven’t yet used the Dell statement credit feature, this post may help if you’re stuck for ideas.

The hours are ticking down on Southwest’s Wanna Get Away Day week contest. Try to earn some points — or even a Companion Certificate!

 A swimming bear in Florida, a moose at an airport, and flesh-eating bacteria on beaches. Oh, my.

Finally: here’s wishing dads, step-dads, and father figures everywhere a very happy Father’s Day!

    Meanwhile, still no bags tags or job well done certificates with Delta saying none are being provided for requalifying members.

      @FNT – As I, and a number of other readers have pointed out, some of us ARE getting them. Not sure why you did not get them.

      As Wayne said, go figure. I got a set and my husband did not.

    When the recession hits and the airlines are hurting with no vacation travelers, the business travels that are here now may remember who continued to serve us and who abandoned us. (Been in a Crown Room in ATL lately?) AA has lounges for business class in major hubs.

    thank you for the Father’s Day wishes. But everyone should just stop using Lyft and Uber altogether. Choose a local car service but choose carefully. Support local, limo and car services. Your experience will always be more reliable with higher quality drivers better service and better vehicles. Lyft and Uber drivers are being so grossly underpaid. They’re unreliable to the rider… and there’s a good chance your driver is stoned. So next time you travel plan ahead, check with the Chamber of Commerce or other organizations that support local businesses and find out which companies provide the best service in town.
