Marriott Suites O’Hare I used a free night from the Chase Marriott card for our quick overnight stay at the Marriott Suites O’Hare. We arrived late, so we picked up some pizza from Giordano’s and took it up to the room. We had a two room suite which was great for putting Baby B to […]

Introduction – Cancun Trip
For a long weekend escape, we headed down to sunny Cancun this past fall. We flew on Spirit down to Cancun which was a first for us. We are used to flying Allegiant, so we knew what to expect with the fees and cramped space. Once there, we spent three nights at the all-inclusive Hyatt […]
British Airways B747 Club World – Chicago to London
After a short delay boarding, we were onboard and walked up the steps to the upper deck. This was especially exciting for me as I have always wanted to sit on the upper deck on the Boeing 747. Sure it is just another seat on the plane, but there is something special about having to […]
American Airlines Flagship Lounge Chicago O’Hare
We parked the car at our favorite parking garage at the Loews Hotel and then took the shuttle over to Chicago O’Hare’s T5 to check in. British Airways has the Terraces Lounge in T5 which we visited when we flew on Cathay Pacific on our trip to Southeast Asia. The lounge was dark, cramped, and […]
Introduction – Western Europe Trip
At the beginning of February, we took a trip to London, Paris, and Amsterdam. We were not even sure we would be able to squeeze this in with a baby on the way and job obligations. We originally planned a British Isles cruise in May, but this was just a few weeks after the due […]
Celebrity Summit – Disembarkation
Our flight was not until 2pm, so we took it easy in the morning and did not have to rush to get off the ship. For our final meal onboard, we decided to go to Blu to finish on a high note. I had the delicious eggs benedict again and Sam had an omelette. We […]
Journey to Nevis
Our journey started with a drive to Chicago. We were flying out of O’Hare through Miami to St Kitts. Our first stop was at our parking location at the Loews Hotel O’Hare. We were actually staying at the Hilton O’Hare because of a great rate and for the convenience of being connected to the terminal. […]
Japan Airlines B777 Sky Suite Business Class – Tokyo to Chicago
The final flight home was on a JAL 4 class Boeing 777 and we were in business class again in the Sky Suites. Because of the lack of storage space in the window, Samantha opted for the aisle seat this time. This aircraft is set up in a 2-3-2 format in business. While the suite […]
Cathay Pacific B777 Business Class – Chicago to Hong Kong
After leaving the lounge, we walked across the hall to the gate. Boarding began shortly thereafter. We were seated in middle 2 seats of the mini-cabin section of business class. This section was extremely private with just two rows of business class seats and very little foot traffic. The seats themselves were very private, quiet, […]
British Airways Terraces Lounge – O’Hare Terminal 5
Given the unreliability and unavailability of flights leaving our home airport, we decided to fly out of Chicago O’Hare Airport to be safe. We parked the car and arrived at the airport about 2 hours before the flight. Security was the normal mess you find at O’Hare with the chaos compounded by non-English speakers being barked […]
