@Carrie – Indeed; I charge all my expenses to my credit card for the frequent flyer miles as well….this last shopping hack was a real doozie though! Yippee….

@Rooster – Thanks! Stay tuned….lots of good stuff to come. Cheers!

Hi Nora, I`ve been checking in on your blog on and off for a while now. Sounds like you`re having a great time! Look forward to reading more about it.

Flying back and forth between Taiwan, Canada, and the US certainly helps, but the majority of our air miles comes from shopping as well. We put anything and everything on our air miles credit card, including our wedding. YAY!

Sorry, Nora, I’m getting off topic. It’s exciting and I can’t wait to hear about your free trips.

@Scott – Stay tuned: my next post – coming out in mere hours – is how I planned a year of travel in less than two weeks. Work-trade and house-sitting strategies are included. Thanks for the suggestion though! I appreciate it.

@Carrie – Indeed! I know that you have been doing the air miles thing by virtue of booking your trips back home to Canada….shopping is another way! (smiles)

It sounds like 2010 is going to be a super-exciting year for you. I’m glad you were finally able to hop on the free air miles bandwagon!

Hi Nora.

Congrats on your exciting travel plans for 2010. Very jealous. You should do an article on finding work-trade arrangements or housesitting opportunities as a route to travel.

@Dick – Oh did I forget to say I’m staying with you? My apologies…a slight oversight. But of course! (GRINS)

Hi Nora,

I read you are” flying out of Amsterdam” but what you failed to mention is that you took me up on my gracious offer in staying with me. That’s all right ..I forgive you this time.

By the way ..I have this unused Australian visa laying about , are you interested ?
