2019 Travel Highlights

British Airways A380 First Class

Full review here.

I had the pleasure of flying British Airways first class for the first time on their A380 aircraft and was very impressed by the experience.  I find many frequent travelers aren’t too fond of BA’s first class, however I was very impressed by the seat, food, service, and lounge at London Heathrow.  I’ll be flying BA’s new A350 business class in January and am looking forward to seeing how the new business class compares to their current first class.

The Maldives

You’ve likely seen pictures of the Maldives with its luxury island resorts, white sand beaches, and crystal clear water.  I had always wanted to visit the Maldives and I got lucky that the dates, flights and hotel all worked out perfectly.  I had an incredible time and I hope to return for another vacation soon! 

Santorini, Greece

With one of my closest friends living in Athens, I’ve visited Greece plenty of times though never managed to leave the mainland.  This August, we finally managed to make last minute plans to spend four nights in Santorini.  Overall the experience was wonderful with amazing sunsets, fun activities, and some of the best views I’ve experienced on all my travels. 

Taking my grandmother to Asia

This Spring I invited my grandmother to join me on a two week trip through Asia, a part of the world she had never even thought of visiting.  We had a fantastic time indulging in Singapore, relaxing in Bali and experiencing Chinese culture in Beijing.  While the destinations were all incredible, the most special part of this trip was being able to spend it with my grandmother!

Alone in Garuda Indonesia Business Class

Full review here.

As part of my trip thought Asia with my grandmother, we flew Garuda Indonesia from Bali to Beijing in business class.  Upon checking in at the airport, we were told that we would be the only two passengers in business class on this flight!  It was so cool to have control of the cabin lights and temperature, and to have the entire business class crew making sure we had a perfect flight.  My grandmother made for a great travel companion!

South African Safari

This winter, I had the pleasure of taking three trips to South Africa, one of which was to go on a week-long safari near Kruger National Park.  This was one of the greatest trips of my life and so different from anything I had done before.  I would love the opportunity to see more of the amazing wildlife Africa has to offer in 2020!

Turkish Airlines New Business Class Lounge

Full review here.

The Turkish Airlines business class lounge is my favorite business class lounge I’ve visited to date, and even better than some of the first class lounges I’ve visited as well.  I had the opportunity to visit the lounge several times this year and had a great experience every time.  I’m looking forward to more layovers at the Istanbul airport in 2020 to enjoy more delicious, unlimited Turkish food!!
