Top 10 Things to See in Rome

June 6, 2018

When I’m planning my travel itineraries, I’m always looking for a short list of the most important things to do or see. Rome is so full of history and culture, that it would be easy to write a list of the top 50 things to see! For those of you looking for the absolute must-do…

Headed to Italy? Book These Tickets Ahead of Time

January 14, 2018

When planning my vacation to Italy last summer, I saw the option to buy tickets to many of the famous attractions ahead of time. For some, you have to plan the exact time of your visit which can be difficult if you don’t have your itinerary pinned down. I didn’t buy all of my tickets online…

Italy Part 5: One Night in Milan

September 27, 2017

After two wonderful days in Venice, we took the train to Milan for our last night in Italy. It’s sad to see such an amazing trip come to the end, but Milan was the perfect place to relax and get ready for our journey home. I’ve heard complaints about Milan, but I think people need…

Hotel Review: Park Hyatt Milan

September 20, 2017

The Park Hyatt Milan has been at the top of my “churning bucket list” for a while now. Previously, the Hyatt credit card sign-up bonus offered two free nights, and at 30,000 points per night, the Park Hyatt Milan was a great redemption option. Unfortunately, you now only get 40,000 points with the Hyatt credit…

Hotel Review: JW Marriott Venice 

August 27, 2017

As part of our Italy vacation on points and miles, we decided to spend two nights in Venice. Venice has lots of luxury hotels, so it was difficult to decide where to stay. I finally settled on the JW Marriott Venice. It was a better value than other hotels at 40,000 Marriott points per nights…

Italy Part 4: 48 Hours in Venice 

August 20, 2017

In Part 3 of our Italy vacation, I discussed our day trip to Tuscany. After Tuscany, we had one more day in Florence before we took the train to our next destination, Venice! Venice is a place like no other. The winding streets, picture-perfect canals, and vast lagoon were everything I wanted and more. However, Venice…

Priority Pass Lounge Review: Air France Lounge at Boston Logan Airport

August 6, 2017

As part of our Italy trip booked almost entirely with points and miles, we booked a direct flight out of Boston’s Logan International Airport to Rome. Our flight was on Alitalia which flies out of Terminal E. This left us with two Priority Pass Lounge options, the Club and the Air France lounge. I was…

Italy Part 2: Florence in 48 Hours

July 30, 2017

This is the second installment of my Italy vacation where I spent 11 days in Italy for only $150 using points and miles. After spending four days in Rome, we took the Frecciarossa (aka the high speed train) to Florence. Florence is a lot smaller than Rome, and while there is no shortage of things…
