Today’s post is a quick trip planning update and travel tip. After accumulating 280,000 Delta Airlines Frequent Flyer Miles, I’ve cashed them all in for 2 round-trip tickets from Orlando to Sydney in just over 200 days!

Africa on the other hand, has some pretty creepy wildlife that may decide to call that comfortable bed of yours home. And that’s the last thing you want to come home to late at night.
