Good Day New York is one of the most popular morning shows in New York City on FOX 5. I was a guest this morning with hosts Rosanna Scotto and Greg Kelly. It was such a pleasure to do the segment in my home town with such cool people. I had a blast and I […]
Take the SPG Holiday Challenge!
December 19, 2013 by 11 Comments
The biggest complaint most people, including myself, have about loyalty programs is the inability to use or redeem the points for free stays/flights/travel when you actually want to use them. I have been saying for years that the best loyalty program in travel is the Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) program. The main reason is there […]
ILTM Cannes 2013
December 6, 2013 by 18 Comments
ILTM Cannes 2013 was my first ILTM in Cannes. I had previously been to ILTM Asia in Shanghai in June and was unable to attend ILTM Americas this past September.

After years of planning plus a lot of money, sweat and time I arrived in Antarctica with aspirations to reach the South Pole. Having already been to every country on Earth, the South Pole had always been a target on my travel list-right at the top. The list of people who have been there is […]

One of the coolest things about my trip to the Falkland Islands is how much positive feedback I have gotten since I left the islands. I had the best week of my life on my Facebook fan page with all the great penguin pictures and I’ve had at least 100 people tell me I’ve put […]

Sea Lion Island is the crown jewel of the Falkland Islands. I really liked Carcass Island and Bleaker Island but Sea Lion Island truly stood out to me. There is so much to see and do on Sea Lion Island that words cannot describe how cool a place it is to actually be there and […]

Wedding Weekend at the Trump Toronto Hotel
October 27, 2013 by 10 Comments
I love weddings. Weddings are fun; they’re a celebration; they’re a time to get together with friends; and they have open bar. Weddings are also great because it is a reason for old friends to get together, get dressed up and act like old times. So when my buddy Panos decided to get married at […]
