It finally worked like it should. At both airports, Kona and Honolulu, the TSA Pre√ lines were much shorter than the regular lines. The laptops stayed in our carry-ons and our shoes stayed on our feet. I scored some points with my family. Finally! […]

TSA Pre√ Experience-Kauai To Kona
This one was a big fail. There was no one on either line and we still needed to take out our laptops on the TSA Pre√. Huh? Yay, I did not need to remove my flip-flops. Thanks TSA. 🙁 […]
TSA Pre√ Experience- Honolulu To Kauai
The regular line was longer (but not by much), but we walked right up to the TSA officer and breezed through security. Being able to keep our laptops in our bags and shoes on is so much less annoying! […]
TSA Pre√ Experience- JFK To Honolulu
Maybe there are just too many people at the New York Airports, but just like when I recently flew to North Carolina out of LGA, the TSA Pre√ line was very big. I was excited to have Rob see the benefit to having it. And although I truly do think we got through security faster […]
My First Experience With TSA Pre√
Remember, this past summer, my family and I got approved for TSA Pre√. I just used it for the first time with Jessie on a trip to North Carolina for a swim meet. Because of Rob’s misgivings about the program (he thinks it won’t often save us time), I was excited to prove him wrong, […]
Fraud Protection Alerts-Transfers
Most banks have fraud alerts set in place. That is, when there is unusual activity in your account, many banks will contact you to make sure that it is you, the card holder, that initiated the activity. These alerts do not only appear with respect to charges. I recently linked Rob’s JetBlue TrueBlue frequent flier account to […]

Most banks have fraud alerts set in place. That is, when there is unusual activity in your account, many banks will contact you to make sure that it is you, the card holder, that initiated the activity. I recently received a text from Chase informing me that someone tried to charge 0$ ($0 and $1 […]
e-miles
e-miles is a free program that lets you earn frequent flyer miles, hotel points or gift cards, by participating in online surveys. I actually joined back in March, 2015, in response to an offer from Hilton to earn 1,000 Hilton HHonors points for participating in 2 surveys. Since I earned these Hilton points, I have […]
We Received Our Known Travelers Numbers
We had our TSA Pre√ appointment on September 14, 2015. We all received our letters dated September 18, 2015, with our Known Traveler Numbers. These numbers expire September 15, 2020. From now on, I will include these numbers on any of our airline reservations. I also need to go into some pending reservations, like […]
Our TSA Pre√ Appointment
Yesterday. my family and I went to our TSA Pre√ appointment. We went to the West 35th street Identogo location in the city. (Remember, on a whim, we slept for free in the city the night before). We had 11:30 appointment for 3 members of my family and 11:45 for the other 2. They took […]
