Episode Notes
Trevor was out flying first class (drink) and Joe Cortez on the West Coast but we had the pleasure of being joined by Shawn Coomer of milestomemories and Richard Kerr, Points Guy contributor and fearless leader of the Travel Hacking 101 Facebook group.
With the Traveling Dad Twitter party focused on miles and points this Monday, we thought it’d be a good time to come together as three dads and just talk about how fatherhood has affected our views on the miles and points game. A free ranging discussion that went from summer travel to our miles and points strategies to discussion on the blogosphere to how we function as dads. Plus great advertisements for having children!
