Ouch! I am feeling so old this week. Let me explain. We have a fireplace insert in our living room and burn wood during the winter. It is so nice. But our massive shed was almost empty and I was worried. But then this week, with temps in the 250* heat index range (I exaggerate a little) my neighbor had a HUGE maple tree taken down. So I spent days cutting and splitting and stacking. Gosh I need a vacation now to enjoy stuff like this from the blog this week:
Chris asks the question “Do Chase Sapphire Reserve®® Members Get Priority Access to Chase Sapphire Lounges?” I don’t mind telling you page views for this post were off the charts. Take a look and see what everyone is wondering about.
One of our frequent floaters, Michael stayed at the Fairmont Waterfront Vancouver before an NCL cruise. He said he would NOT return. The hotel was not happy with his review and emailed us (i.e. Chris, the blog’s majority owner) their displeasure with the post. I think the post and review is very good – see if you agree.
For me the value of holding a yearly travel policy is a no brainer. There are times I let it lapse for a few months but generally I am always insured when I travel. Is it worth it? Chris goes over the reasons why he and I both hold a policy and things to consider.
A while back Delta allowed us to order Delta medallion tags. They are custom and metal and I have to say kinda neat. I can confirm that, for now, they are letting you order a second set if you want to. This may not last long fyi.
There is one person at Delta corp. I really do not like. Well maybe two or three but the main one is the guy who has the world upside down angry with the suggestion that the airline is going to use AI to get the MAX money out of each and everyone who flies Delta. Well maybe not so fast.
Lastly Chris has a PSA about keeping your seat belts on when up in the air as we were again reminded this week. I always have mine on even when sleeping unless I am up going to the lavatory.
Have a great August weekend everyone and I can not believe we are only weeks away from the start of football season and with the fall will be just around the corner. Where did the summer go? – René

I thought the FAIRMOUNT Review was not a problem! What did the hotel have issue with???
@dee – I think the mention he would NOT return. When charging a boatload per night – that matters.
