Two Million Air Miles Earns a Trip to Outer Space

I don’t know about you, but I am usually pretty psyched when I get enough air miles to buy a free ticket to fly home to visit my family. That pales in comparison to how a Middlesex businessman plans on cashing in on his air miles.

Some Budapest Airline Deals that will make you Hungary

Back in the day, I used to spend a little bit of time in Budapest as did a lot of people who were teaching TEFL. The city was still kind of grungy in a post-Communist Bloc kind of way, but also exciting because each new day brought new things like Dunkin Donuts and Pizza Hut. As cliché as it might sound, people were excited about this progress and about their future. You could feel it in the air and you could sense it on the streets.

Budapest has cleaned up …
