ETAM Cru and their incredible building-sized murals. WOW!
Travel Summary, one of the most talented WRITERS in our blog space is leaving Boarding Area and joining Travel Codex. What I found so surprising was that the move to Boarding Area harmed this blog so much regarding traffic, wow! So glad I stayed away, I prefer doing my own thing even though the traffic in BA would probably bring in more revenue than my blog does now #ohwell Then again, I was reminded in the TBB comments of Travel Codex being self hosted but somehow still remain part of Boarding Area.
In case you missed it, Hyatt Gold Passport is changing categories in some of its properties. Here are the two tables:
There are two properties that impact me and they both went down, hooray! One is the Thessaloniki Hyatt and the other one is the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur. Looking at the lists…Dallas went up, Pakistan went down and so did China and India.
Rite Aid going cash only on variable load gift cards on July 7. Thanks bloggers… #theregoesanotherone!

First.
I always love the world monuments shown from other points of view.
The gif reminds me of the corgi flop video with a lot less hesitation.
No clicks in three days in a row, that is a First!
It is 8 am and nobody claimed any more medals…
Maybe it is time to wrap it up…
Phuck it, lets go Wales #euro2016
Fine, I claim gold, silver, bronze, platinum, and diamond.
What, no Titanium?
I’m not greedy.
‘state of my blog’s clicks’: if you bore us with trip reports….
Thanks.
If I only had a CSP click for every FT post you moderated me on 🙂
Silver! Perhaps more commentary with the links. The snark is super.
Noted. Snark has been decreasing because…well, time and lack of clicks….I spend way too much time on each post and, internally it goes, why spend more when I can’t get ONE click…
This blogging thingie is nuts.
But it comes so naturally as you are thinking it anyway. The 7/7 is back to the good old days.
Quite a day in the blogosphere — massive (dare I say YUGE?!) #pumppumppumping from all the #titans try to hit quotas on DL/AMEX.
When that expired, one even sank to a dozen (yes TWELVE) #pumppumppump links on… headphones. YES! Headphones… WTF?
And our poor Buzz suffers through endless days of zeros.
Life is NOT fair.
Enjoyed the link on steaks. Hard to be a carnivore here when the only tender beef comes from stuffing same in a CrockPot for 8 hours.
#TBBon
Yeah man…Life is not fair. 3 days of ZERO clicks…and that’s a FIRST!
Who was the headphones pumper?
I can count in one hand my product pumps. Actually, I need to order me a few more of these awesome Anker portable chargers again and use up some of my Amazon gift card balance 🙂
OneConversionataTime.
I was called a troll for commenting on the dozen links for headphones.
Sigh.
Hey TBB, sorry about the clicks… I’m on vacation this week and relaxing by the pool… Next week I’ll be back in the medal hunt !!
TBB, the world is upside down. Many of the #titans got kicked off the Chase gravy train and are now Amex pumpers. These same AA apologists are all jumping to Delta who they’ve berated for years. Follow the money.
Amazon Prime Day next Tuesday ….. get your link prepared 🙂
