Apparently there is open award space on Japan Airlines JAL flights out of the US. And I have no doubt that Delta will be making a marketing campaign that it is the only airline having 5.000 miles award flights…so typically deceptive assholish behavior of them. Mrs. TBB knocked out another 3 award round trips NYC-Detroit for the in-laws using one of my Avios accounts, nearing 500,000 miles/points burned in 2015, hey not too shabby. Things will slow down here when we travel to Greece next month, maybe it will be the best time to kick this blogging habit…I know, I said this several times already…Mad Max: Road to Fury is a movie masterpiece, blown away!

Another incredible timelapse video found at The Adventure Blog. This one is of Hong Kong, when you get away from the cement and the malls!

National Geographic’s Instagram account is amazing. Here are some awesome pictures found in it.

Abandoned Communist Headquarters in Bulgaria.  For some reason, I am fascinated by these sites…

The monument was completed in 1981, using both government funds and donations. It was built by both Bulgarian civil engineers and the Bulgarian Army. By 1990, Bulgaria had adopted Democracy in place of Socialism.

 

Abandoned factories in Greece. It is a very sad state of affairs. The author thinks most of these were due to the recent sharp recession. Actually, most of these were from the 80s and 90s when the industrial base was slowly demolished while the corrupt politicians kept borrowing and giving money away to the people who got lazy.

Greece fell into recession as the financial crisis spread around the world in 2008 — but until 2010, the country's growth figures weren't spectacularly worse than many other countries.
I will be driving by these next month…

  1. I love the new Lufthansa travel/points blog although it is written in German. Thank goodness for the Google translate app. It is call travelmitgrant.com Lots of Duesch Bank Express Offers information.

    1. Thier blog mission is a little different from TBB’s. The blog mission of TRAVELMITGRANT.COM is…..YOU WILL READ IT AND YOU WILL LIKKE IT or else.

  2. Everytime I see the “About Gary Leff” section on the front page of VFTW, I imagine Gleff writing all those acolades about himself. What an arrogant egotistical a..hole. Can I say that here at TBB?

    1. In the interest of fairness, everyone writes accolades about themselves. Every website, book, social page, newspaper and magazine article. No one will write it for you, it’s a common practice.

      1. You’re defending Gary freaking Leff? Come on. Didn’t think anyone actually liked the guy. First post was right. That guy is arrogant as they come.

  3. I am alive!

    Mondays blow.

    Speaking about blowing, my “Gasping for Air” soccer team was blown apart 4-0. Happens when 3 guys email at the last minute to say they can’t make it, caught short again. It was rough…

    We don’t like censoring here. You can say whatever the hell you want. But always try to be respectful. Good to vent once in a while, therapeutic indeed 🙂
