Delta SkyMiles is notoriously one of the worst frequent flyer programs to use for award travel. The seat availability for award travel is slim, their website is buggy/broken and it’s difficult to book seats on SkyTeam partner airlines with Delta SkyMiles. These things said, it’s not at all impossible to book award travel on Delta–it just takes longer and requires you to have more flexibility. This series will help you understand how to squeeze the most amount of value out of your Delta SkyMiles.
Searching for award availabilityThe list goes in order of Delta hub size and therefore, number of flights offered. I recommend starting with the hubs first because [...]
Well, it’s August again, so that means back to the Family Circle Stadium in Charleston for Hootie & The Blowfish’s 11th Annual Homegrown Concert. Despite the threat of rain and 110% humidity the band took the stage around 8:45pm and put on a great show that never disappoints. They hit all of the classics, a few from Darius’ solo gig, tried-and-trusted REM & Zeppelin covers and a few new covers as well (Violent Femmes anyone?). [...]
Guess where we’re headed tonight? Well, first we’ll be singin’ along to every single Hootie and the Blowfish song at tonight’s concert… And THEN…
Yep, that’s right, we’re headed to Edisto Island, one of my favorite places in the world!
Edisto is one of South Carolina’s Sea Islands and offers what most other beaches don’t: almost nothing. There’s no hotel, no fast food restaurant and no stop light on Edisto.
Welcoming all visitors is the “Mystery Tree,” a tree in the middle of the marsh that has been mysteriously decorated each season. And, inviting all those leaving the [...]
Check out McCown’s interview on WCIV-TV ABC Charleston earlier today–watch out Connie Chung, Soledad O’Brien, ok insert name of relevant female news anchor here:

2210 Middle St, Sullivans Island, SC $$ – Burgers, Tacos, Pub Food – $8-11 for entrees
If we’re driving to Sullivan’s for lunch or dinner, Jeffrey and I always vote for Taco Mamacita. But, wanting to try something new, we recently opted for Poe’s Tavern, just across the street. I’d never been, but I’d always heard such great things.
Named in honor of one of Sullivan’s Island’s famous residents, Edgar Allen Poe, Poe’s is a beachy restaurant just steps from the sand – a great place to meet up with friends after work or to fuel up after a long beach day.
Terminal F 5:30am to 9:30pm
If you’re looking for a great lounge to pass some time at the Nation’s Busiest Airport: Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (no big deal, only about 260k people pass through everyday! About 20% more than runner-up Beijinng-PEK), might I suggest The Club at ATL.
As I’ve said before in this post (JFK Terminal 4 Lounges/The Oasis Lounge), which lounge I go to is often a function of which one will let me in. The Club at ATL is by far the least exclusive of all ATL lounges–to get in you’ll need to show some credentials, your choices include:
$35 cash for a day pass Priority Pass member card (free for AMEX [...]Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Concourse B Atlanta, GA 30320
I can get into a bad habit when I find a good restaurant. Especially when I only have an opportunity to eat there every so often. This is how I’ve been treating One Flew South, the awesome sushi restaurant at Atlanta’s Airport (ATL)–I have returned at every opportunity. But, this time, I forced myself to explore the other options and had read some good things about Café Intermezzo in Terminal B.
It’s half book store, half cafe-style restaurant, which results in an always-busy-feeling atmosphere and, in the land of Chilis, TGI Fridays and other typical chains, [...]
