    Long overdue review and note of appreciation to you two! Love everything about this podcast, educational and entertaining..and especially love that the travel episodes are not “everything is perfect” but you also share what you didn’t like and any challenges along the way.

228. How Her Family of 5 Traveled Thailand for Two Weeks Using Points & Miles

227. Airport Lounge Birthday Trip to Colorado
Q: How did you decide Denver as the destination and optimize the hotel and lounge credits?
