I've been in Hawaii for the past week, which was my first time ever taking an extended vacation here. I'll have a separate post about my overall impressions of our time on three islands, but I've had such an amazing time. The one challenge is the timezone, since it's six hours behind Eastern Time.
No matter where in the world I am, I usually keep Eastern hours, since I work every day, and I like to be online during those hours. This trip has been an exception. It has been Ford's birthday trip, and getting up at 1AM just doesn't sound like fun. We still got up at 5AM every morning, but that's only 11AM ET. So along those lines I want to apologize for the (largely) lack of great content in the past week. I don't ever really take time off, since I enjoy what I do. This past week is probably the least I've worked in the past decade. So I apologize if the content suffered a bit, but I really had a fun and relaxing time, and I'm happy I got to spend so much quality time with Ford. The trip comes to an end today, so things will be back to normal this coming week.
On the points & travel front, this week we saw huge news with Airbus and Bombardier, big new sign-up bonuses on AAdvantage cards, news of Malaysia Airlines' CEO resigning, learned about more Delta A350 routes, and more.
