South America & Africa Points Heist

I've had the freshest sushi at the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. I've been to Sushi Roku at the W Scottsdale. I've had blowfish sashimi in Osaka. Two out of those three make me a good judge of sushi.

The South African Airways Domestic Lounge Review Johannesburg is part of the South America & Africa Points Heist Trip Report. Recall how angry so many readers were when I called my Ethiopian Airlines flight from JNB...

The flight from DAR to JNB was nothing too exciting. The seats were not lie flat but that did not stop me from sleeping the whole time.

The South African Airways DAR-JNB "Flight Review" is part of the South America & Africa Points Heist Trip Report. I vividly recall the park bench at DAR and the Priority Pass Lounge. What I do not...

After sitting on a park bench at Dar airport all night, I was allowed to go inside the airport. That didn't mean I could get a ticket. The counter took another hour to open. When it finally did, I checked in, passed through security, and made my way to the lounge.

Dar es Salaam Airport is part of the South America & Africa Points Heist Trip Report. Keep your Priority Pass card in your wallet. You do not need a VIP card to enjoy the outside lounge...

There was not an efficient route on Star Alliance from ZNZ to CPT. The easiest way was to fly through Dar es Salaam.

After getting through the bumpy trails that wind through this village, the DoubleTree reveals itself. It is situated right on the beach with many restaurants and bars within walking distance.

There's enough to do in Stone Town that justifies staying for one night.

For this trip, I booked the Park Hyatt months in advance to make sure that I received a suite upgrade. That was not the problem with my stay. The issue was that the hotel is located in Stone Town, a two hour drive from the best beaches of Zanzibar.
