Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is off to a great start.  This is a friendly reminder that my first travel hacker meetup in Mountain View is happening this afternoon.  I will be taking CalTrain from SF to Mountain View and then going to the In-N-Out near Grant Park Plaza.  There is another In-N-Out in Mountain View, but don’t go to that one by mistake.

• Where: In-N-Out Burger, 53 West El Camino Real, Mountain View, CA 94040 (Google Maps)
• When: Saturday, February 20 @ 12-2pm

I will be wearing my traditional Travel with Grant gray shirt and hanging out by the outside tables.  There is no need to RSVP, just show up if you are in the area.  I hope to see a few familiar faces and meet a few new readers this afternoon.  Have a great day everyone!

P.S. I will be in Orange County next weekend, so I will organize an OC Meetup for next Saturday afternoon (2/27).  Stay tuned for details…

Good morning everyone.  Yesterday, I flew from Dublin to San Francisco (DUB-SFO) on Aer Lingus in economy (gasp!) and I am getting back to my usual postings.  I am excited to announce a few new Bay Area meetup events for the near future.

For President’s Day Weekend (and Valentine’s Day), I will be taking the California Zephyr‎ Amtrak from Denver to Emeryville (Oakland/SF) with a few travel hacker friends from Denver/Boulder (creators of the Front Range Travel Hackers Meetup Group).  They wanted to do a little meetup on President’s Day (February 15), so if anyone is in SF and wants to talk miles and points, come join us.  We are going to Super Duper Burgers on Market Street (located between Montgomery and Powell Street BART stations).

• Where: Super Duper Burgers, 721 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94103 (Google Maps)
• When: Monday, February 15 @ 12-2pm

Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is off to a great start.  There are a few blog post ideas floating around in my head, so I wanted to ask you guys what you would want to read about.  I will still post random AMEX Offer posts and other random deals as they come up, but I also want to get some of these ideas out of my head and onto the web.

Thank you for your help and have a great weekend everyone!
