Brian Kelly himself is hardly a beacon of substance and integrity. He's a bit busy being taken to the Oscars by Marriott's CMO to do the writing himself these days. TPG is the biggest shill in the business.

I can't say that I disagree, as one has to weed through his referral bonuses to garner new insight. Heck, his crew is still trying to promote the City Prestige card, which was just gutted of any travel protections. In any case, I do like to peruse his posts.

HIs new YouTube channel has him returning to his roots, which has been nice. Reviews-only. Hope he sticks to that.

Internet speed for anyone interested. That was at noon. Last night was a little slower. Presumedly more people on at night. But service has been great.

The storm was so bad last night that our OWV was rocking and swaying. Terrible and slightly frightening experience with a baby!

I wondered that too. But thought it had to be a misinterpretation. They don't want us card-earned based diamond status plebs making drunken fools of ourselves. Nevertheless, the pics are cool and add to the experience.
