Memories from our fabulous summer vacation in 2015. 😄🌎✈️

Hello to all of my travel friends. Today I must share with you this very sad time in my life. My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer three weeks ago. My brother and sister, Brian, and I are handling her around-the-clock care as we meet with oncologists and learn what her future holds. We would all appreciate your prayers and positive energy as we face this. I miss travel and our hobby and will return to it when life hits a level playing field again.

Hi all:

I am very excited about my November 30 Travel Tutor Tune Up. There will be two topics:

(1) Calculating the Value of Your Miles/Points Portfolio
(2) Organizing for 2017

We'll also discuss miles and points collecting strategies for December/January and, of course, Chase's ever-changing rules.

Each person or couple in attendance will receive his/her/their own custom organization packet for 2017. The cost will be $10 for an individual or $15 for a married couple. Tune Ups are generally an hour to an hour and a half long. This one will begin at 7 p.m. I need to limit this Tune UP to ten participants. The pre-requisite for this session is my Basic session, . You can sign up here at The Travel Tutor page or email me at [email protected].
