All the Right Points Turns 2!

It's hard to believe I've been writing All the Right Points for two years!  I started the blog to share my experience earning/burning miles and points with family and friends - something I'm equally (if not more) passionate about today.

This is a wonderful hobby.  Its a game that enables me to open up the world for Emily and I in a way that neither of us ever thought would be possible.  Since starting the blog, we've been on half a dozen long-haul trips together to 13 countries.  We've flown first class on 8 different carriers and stayed in some of the world's best hotels.

Here are some of my favorite posts from the 320 posts and 60 trip reports over the past couple of years:

My favorite trip report series:

A Week (Euro) in Amsterdam and Paris.  We spent a week in May of 2015 exploring Europe and exploiting the weak Euro.

Best flight:

Emirates A380 First Class from Dallas to Dubai.  We both loved this flight and cannot wait to get back on Emirates.  Once you take a shower at 35,000 feet after going to the bars on the plane, it's hard to go bak to anything else.

Best hotel stay:

W Taipei for New Years last year.  We were just reminiscing about how fun this hotel was.  The New Years party was amazing and we really enjoyed Taipei - hoping to go back soon!

Best lounge:

While The Pier is pretty awesome, I think I'm still partial to Cathay Pacific's Hong Kong lounge, The Wing.  The cabanas, the open-air feel, the Champagne bar...

Best "deal:"

Citi Executive Card 100K bonus of 2014.  I was able to take advantage of this offer 3 times.  300,000 points for $750 (net) in fees.  Amazing!!

Here's to the next two years (and beyond) filled with many more adventures around the world.  Thanks to all of you for reading!!!
