TGIF...and a new place to visit...Titicaca?
Yep...I'm happy its Friday. Once I'm finally done with my workday, I'll be hitting the road. Destination you ask? I'll be posting about it when I'm back on Sunday evening...
...but for now, how about another destination to check out? And the winner today is:
Lake Titicaca!
Located near Puno, Peru, this is the highest navigable lake in the world (12,500 feet above sea level) and contains several islands, some man-made. Excursion only though...no cars or roads!

adding something new...
I decided today to add a new daily (at least I'm going to try to do daily) post on some of the top places to see and visit in the world, based on a popular travel series called '1000 places to see before you die'. Since my travel bug is always lurking within, this might be a cool way to share some neat and interesting places that you might not have known about before.
So today's very first, inaugural, place to see is...........
The Southshore Beaches of Bermuda!
In the late afternoon sun, the sand on the beaches of Bermuda turns a rosy-pink color because of the crushed choral that washes ashore from the surrounding reefs. I had no idea that Bermuda is made up of over 143 islands...the 7 main ones seem to usually be the focus. Elbow Beach and Horseshoe Bay are the most well-known, with Warwick Long Bay not far behind.

United 2012 Elite changes
The news finally broke today about United's plan for integrating MileagePlus and OnePass, and you can find the details here:

The move to four tiers is an interesting change, as is the requirement to fly on United four times in order to reach any status (meant to make flyers focused on United rather than other Star Alliance partners?). The premiere bonus mileage is also changing per flight - bet that won't go over well (since for me as a Prem Exec (Gold) it would mean 50% instead of the 100% I'm getting now...Boo).
