Added SFO-SIN Added TLV-SFO Removed IAD-DXBI recently researched and completed a list outlining the longest Delta flights in the world and was surprised to see that Delta is considered to be one of the biggest airlines in the world based upon a number of metrics. However, I also became curious about the other U.S. based carriers.

But, who can blame me for doing a little of my own wish list-making while I’m at it? At the top of my list this year are these 5 travel-related gifts:
1) These sunglasses are a) on sale and b) fantastic for each and every face shape. I’m dying for a pair of sunglasses that are nice enough to really keep my eyes shaded but also can withstand the dark spaces deep within my purse. Usually when I travel, I take only my cheap-o pair of sunglasses, but they’ve endured one too many scratches and I’m ready for a new pair! [...]
I can not believe it is Thanksgiving Week already! I’m extra thankful for a short work week and that Jeffrey and I are lucky enough to spend time celebrating with both of our families this year. Jumping ahead of myself, I’ve found a handful of fun things to dive into once the holiday commences – here are a few travel-themed links I wanted to share.

It’s no secret that Park Hyatt is one of the nicest hotel brands in the world, and it’s (by far) my personal favorite (so, no, this post is not sponsored by the Park Hyatt). Whenever Jeffrey surprises me with a stay at a Park Hyatt, I am over-the-moon excited! From the rooms’ decor to the delicious food to the incomparable service, there are no disappointments with Park Hyatt. Each time I stay in a Park Hyatt, I find my stay in the hotel a destination in and of itself — it’s hard to even leave the hotel to venture out to explore!
Like many other hotel chains, stores and restaurants, Park Hyatts are all pretty similar in “niceness” but [...]
