Another blog post by Mr. Deals… I don’t know about you, but I’m not much of a planner. When it comes to new destinations, I do a little research and keep a few ideas in my head and then usually I’m just directed around by Mrs. Deals. Don’t get me wrong, I like having some…

Hotel Room Keys, Mr. Deals Perspective
Another blog post by Mr. Deals… Call me old school, or maybe just the opposite, I don’t really know. What I do know is that when I stay at a hotel, I don’t want a key. I’m talking about a real key like the one you probably use for your home. When I’m at a hotel, just…
I Made 2 Mistakes
Another blog post by Mr. Deals… Mrs. Deals just gave me a stern talking to, a really stern talking to. “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “It’s like you just threw away $180.” Blah blah blah blah. After I apologized and admitted I screwed up (most wives tend to appreciate this, but not in this case),…
Mr. Deals is back, I think
For those of you that might not remember me, I am Mr. Deals, the better half of the owner of this blog :-). Awhile back, I actually had a Sunday column and I must say, I think I was a key part of the growth of this little blog (yes, I’m patting myself on the…
The Companion Pass Battle
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… It’s no secret that Mrs. Deals is a huge fan of the Southwest Companion Pass. It’s allowed us to travel around the US for so cheap over the past few years and most recently allowed us to fly down to Aruba during one of the busiest times of year…
Will Travel With Baby
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… I think I’ve found my new travel buddy. Her name is Baby Deals, she’s just past 18 months old, and wow, does she make getting through the airport a breeze. I’m not talking about for a domestic flight either, I’m talking about for an international jaunt. We even got…
A Mattress Run
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… My parents happen to be in town for a few days before everyone embarks on their holiday travels for the year. Truth be told they just wanted to see little baby deals before we hit the travel circuit with her at the end of the month. At dinner last…
Mrs. Deals Favorite Holiday
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… First off, I should tell you the Mrs. Deals explicitly gave me the week off last week as she was very busy preparing for her favorite day of the year, Black Friday. I would like to thank my mom for the text last Sunday: “Where’s Mr. Deals blog post?”…
What’s in your bag?
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… First item to go in Mr. Deals suitcase, a pair of board-shorts. Comment Mr. Deals receives from Mrs. Deals upon beginning packing: “Why do you always bring a bathing suit?!” Lets face it, with hotels all trying to outdo one another these days you never really know when you…
A Promotion I Am Finally Excited About
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… A guy walks into a Cadillac dealership. He’s in his young 30’s, he’s got long shaggy hair, is unshaven (probably hasn’t shaved for 3-4 days), his sideburns are a little longer than the norm, he’s wearing his “weekend jeans” and a patagonia jacket. The sales guys look at him…
The end of the bed issue
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… I’d like to address an ongoing problem I’ve found at hotels over the years. It might not be something everyone notices, but I’ve noticed it far too many times and most recently on a trip Mrs. Deals and I took. While Mrs. Deals and I were in Vegas, staying…
Mrs. Deals, Amatuer Traveler
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… With baby deals in the mix, it’s been awhile since Mrs. Deals and I have had a chance to travel like the young spring chicken we used to be. We’ve enjoyed some family trips and I’ve had a few business trips solo, but those are totally different than when…
