This has been an insane week of travel for me, as I flew from Los Angeles to Singapore and back in just 72 hours, in order to review China Airlines and Japan Airlines. The flights were great, though suffice to say I’m exhausted. The flights had Wi-Fi, which meant I could be efficient and get work done. The downside to Wi-Fi on planes is that it means I don’t sleep as well. However, last night I got a really good night of sleep after returning to the US.
I’ll be in various US cities over the next couple of weeks, including spending a few days in Aspen. Then in early July I’ll be headed to Longyearbyen and then Russia for the first half of July, which I’m very excited about.
Stay tuned, because I’ll have several trip report installments over the coming week.

Which Visa Credit Card Should You Use At Costco?
This week, Costco made the big switch from American Express to Citi. Many people shop at Costco religiously, and the retailer has long kept costs down through exclusive credit card contracts.
Previously Costco only accepted American Express credit cards, while now you can use any Visa card for your US Costco purchases (a Mastercard issued by Citi, on the other hand, wouldn’t be eligible at Costco).
With that in mind, Costco’s new co-branded credit cards have new benefits. And they’re great cards. But there are other Visa cards that may also be worthwhile.
