Giveaway – 12 Air Canada eUpgrades
I have too many of them and they expire on February 29. I said 12 but there might be more; it depends on whether I will use some of the eUpgrades for myself but I’ll try not to as my flights are usually not more than 3 hours. Also, there might be a second prize…
Las Vegas – Hooters Casino Hotel
Yes, I stayed at Hooters, the price was too god to resist not to mention that the reviews on TripAdvisor did not seem to be as bad as the name would have implied. Actually some incredible prices were mentioned so I wondered whether I could get the same. “On my annual trip to Vegas for…

‘Report suspicious activity to local authorities’
The following recording is on the ‘default’ TV channel (if I might call like that) at the Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach hotel in Honolulu. This is what that channel displays all day long, nothing else: I found it very strange.
‘Boycott Hyatt’
Just last week I was in Waikiki, Oahu (Hawai’i) and in the bus I saw the following ad: I suppose they meant Hyatt in general and the Hyatt from Waikiki in particular. I wonder, how many people who stayed there saw the ad, not to mention that if you see it for the first time…
