November 11, 2014
I went to Angkor Wat this February, and I was blown away.
View from Inside Angkor WatThe 900 year-old Hindu-turned-Buddhist temple just outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia is up there on the list of the most impressive historical sites I've visited with Machu Picchu and the Great Wall of China.
And it isn't just Angkor Wat.
How to Get to Machu Picchu with Miles
November 10, 2014
Machu Picchu is one the few places in the world that can't be over-hyped. Seriously, no matter how high your expectations are when you get there, I don't think you can be disappointed.
Even on my third visit, watching the sunrise over the mountains was spectacular.
So how do you get to Machu Picchu with miles?
It's actually very easy. The best miles to get to Machu Picchu are American Airlines miles. You can fly to Cuzco, the nearest airport, roundtrip for 35,000 American Airlines miles.

My Experience: Cadillac Test Drive for 7,500 Miles
October 26, 2014
Update 11/1/14: I got the 7,500 miles.
Saturday I went to a Cadillac dealership in La Quinta, California to test drive a Cadillac to earn 7,500 American Airlines miles.
Unfortunately the deal is now dead as View from the Wing reported (and no, I don't have any idea whether your scheduled or completed test drive will earn the miles.)
I'll post my experience anyway because these test drive promos in which you can earn something like miles or a prepaid gift card are common enough.
