Air Fare Hacking

In years past I was "Premier Exec" (50,000 miles) on United Airlines. Knowing the airline mileage game, when it is not inconvenient I book a longer multi-leg trip if the price is comparable. This allows for more miles, in case I would start frequent travel again. In 2012, I made a mileage run vacation to qualify for Premier Silver. In 2013, I took mini vacations with mileage runs that totaled about 115,000 flight miles. In 2014, I am going to spend more going where I want, when I want.

The Body Language Handbook

I enjoyed reading The Body Language Handbook by Gregory Hartley and Maryann Karinch. Frankly I don't remember any of the points in the book, though it was interesting while I was reading it.
