Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

How was our weekend at Sequoia &Kings Canyon National Parks with two under 4 year old kid?
It would have been great if everyone were healthy!

Camping

Staying in nature it is a totally different from being in a city and staying in a hotel. If you are going to a national park (such as Yosemite, Sequoia or Lassen) you have to be very well prepared, the forgotten things could ruin a night or cause some difficulties during the day.What are the most important things to bring with you?

Half Marathon in San Francisco

The hotels in San Francisco are very expensive. How could you stay in the Grand Hyatt Hotel in the city? We used 18,000 Hyatt points to get there and it was totally worth it.

Airline Mileage Programs

What They Are

All airlines have a mileage (loyalty) programs which are designed to reward continued flying with the airline. Each mile flown on the airline accrues one mile in the program. The collected miles can later be redeemed for  essentially free tickets. We're saying essentially free since taxes and fees have to be paid on these tickets and in some programs this make many redemptions practically pointless. If used correctly though, these miles can allow you and your family to travel farther and in higher comfort than you would have thought possible. Think flying in business class from the US to Asia for 200$ by flying over the Pacific Ocean oneway and over the Atlantic on the return stopping over in Europe.
