    4 Day Niagara Falls and Toronto Canada Itinerary

    If you are going to Niagara Falls, the more 'fun' side is the Canadian side. There's so many places to see and do in the Canada side, but after a while the falls can get boring. Two whole days is enough in Niagara Falls if you want to see both the American and the Canadian side.

    Tales from the Economy Class Cabin

    Tales from the Economy Class Cabin As part of our honeymoon trip to Alaska, we had to book flights from Jacksonville to the Last Frontier. Since the Last Frontier was expensive, we opted to use what points we had, and long story short, we ended up using our American Airlines points.  Alaska Airways is a partner of American Airlines, so there, our route was set, we were going to fly American wherever they took us and take Alaska to well, Alaska. One snag in our plan: there was only one saver seat on economy on the day we needed, but there was a business saver economy seat for the next…
