How I Travel Hacked Our Trip From Alaska to Hawaii
Here I share my travel hacking tips and how I managed to save thousands of dollars on our trip to Kauai. Our stay at the Grand Hyatt Kauai and Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle's Southport were all free (booked with points). I also share how I travel hacked our flights and car rental. As always, thanks for tuning along.
I learned how to travel hack from the Travel Mom Squad, formerly known as the Travel Hacking Moms. While I did not take their online course, I did listen to their podcast, read their blog posts, and followed them on instagram. I am not affiliated with them but wanted to give them credit for introducing me to the travel hacking world!

Nome, Alaska Berry Picking and Making Blueberry Delight
I had an illness that sent me to the hospital and when I got home, I kept telling my husband there was a leak in the roof because I constantly heard a drip drip dripping sound. Turned out to be my heartbeat! It was slightly amusing that I had my husband searching for a leak and it wasn't even raining. I only hear it occasionally now. It might have been due to high blood pressure while I was sick but I'm not sure.
I could hear mine since I was a child. Now it doesn't happen all the time.
Mind asking what was your diagnosis?
I'm in Alaska too. I have pulsatile tinnitus. What doctor please 😭
Several years ago my wife and I stayed on Fox Island over the Labor Day weekend which was the last weekend of the season, we went for long walks on the Island and also went out on ocean kayaks with a guide, All very worthwhile!
I been hearing the heartbeat/swooshing sound for the last couple weeks since i finished my Chemo! I was diagnosed with extreme anemia so figured that has something to do with it. Unfortunately my Chemo doctor has no idea what it is so is sending me to an Ears Throat and Nose doctor but also wants me to get a blood transfusion! 😩
Love this video! I'm researching prior to my trip to Seward (in August, this coming weekend!). I saw your Alyeska Spa video first, which was amazing! It will likely be cold and rainy for the 4 hour Resurrection Bay Cruise we've booked...I was planning to wear lightweight pants that dry quickly (after you've taken them off and hung them up for several hours), but now I'm thinking I should bring my Boulder Gear fleece lined ski pants! Thanks so much for the fabulous views, reassuring me that we will actually be able to see fun things even if it's rainy and cloudy, and for helping me plan my wardrobe! I also completely forgot to think of bringing a wool hat for some reason (maybe because it's currently 90 degrees in NYC?) so thank you for reminding me to pack some color coordinated wool berets!
I LOVE this video, thank you! My sister and I just booked day passes for a Saturday in August, and we also have a reservation that evening for dinner at the Seven Glaciers Restaurant. I'm not booking a massage, but my sister might. I do know that a great massage will leave you feeling like mush! The first time I had a serious massage they required me to have someone else pick me up and drive me home, and afterwards I understood why! Thank you so much for your stealthy videos! It is August so it shouldn't be that crowded, but we will make an effort to get there early. I also couldn't quite figure out if the spa was at the top or bottom of the Tram. Thanks to your video, I can see that it's a short walk to the Tram for the restaurant, and most importantly, there are hair dryers and vanity mirrors at the spa so I can primp before dinner! The spa website does recommend bringing a non-glass water bottle, and I appreciate your inclusion of locations to fill our water bottles so we can bring them empty. Your videos, and description of the places where you couldn't record make me so excited for this adventure! I've subscribed, and will watch your Kenai Fjords Resurrection Bay Tour next! Tee Hee! I'm so looking forward to this trip, and I thank your for these videos as I do my research!
Lots of videos for Lazy Sourdough. I also use the dry starter method, doesn’t use as much flour.
I have it too! What state are you in?
appreciate for your sharing respect
It's horrible Prayers for you and us
Thank you so much for this. I have had pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear for six months and was referred recently for an urgent hospital appointment. Going to get CT scan results (of sinuses and inner ear) tomorrow and will see what they suggest after that. I think the vascular stuff is what concerns me most. I have had a bit of vertigo here and there but it's not bad thankfully. The pulsing and whooshing, especially at night, is a lot though. I have been wondering if it is related to my neck and shoulder muscles, as they haven't been great for a while, and I have a bit of TMJ too... but I'm just not sure if that would cause such persistent unilateral pulsatile tinnitus? I guess we'll see! Wishing everyone well on their journey - it's so interesting to read that it seems to be more common in women. It definitely helps to know you're not the only one going through it. ❤
I have constant high pitch ringing/hissing tinnitus. If there was an op, I'd jump at the chance. If there was a 1% chance of success and a 99% chance of death, I'd still take it.
I first noticed the PT about a month ago. I have an MRI and MRA scheduled in a couple of weeks. Both test are done, one right after the other. My nurse practitioner wants to rule out worst case scenario first. She suggested I try Coricidin and Flonase. In the meantime, possibly as it may be a sinus issue.
hi! thank you for this video, really provides me with a sense of relief and comfort knowing that there are other people out there struggling with this. mine is more of a click in time with my heartbeat and it comes and goes - more often at night. I do think mine has a link to anxiety but I really don’t know anymore. I have a pre-existing cholesteotoma in the same ear which I am getting my second surgery for in 1 months time and am hoping that maybe it will help me? i will update this once it’s done! x
What is the procedure u have done?
Dr. Berg has multiple videos on this topic. Please check those out. In diff videos he talks about Vitamin B1, Insulin Resistance being a potential cause etc
I hear a heartbeat in my head all the time and whooshing noise .It don’t sound the same as yours put it’s driving me mad . It’s in my head and throat I feel it not in my ears . Is this the same thing .?
The reason is due to Potassium Deficiency. The body needs around 4,000 mg of potassium a day. You can get this by removing processed carbs and sugars and adding a lot of vegetables to your diet. I also recommend getting enough magnesium and Vitamin C. The reason that sound comes to the ear is due to the muscles in your neck and ear are pulsing. Getting enough Potassium, Magnesium, and Vitamin C should also help your other muscles and organs in your body.
That's interesting, because when it happened to me while I was in the hospital, they did say my potassium was very low! I don't eat carbs but while in the hospital I had stopped taking my potassium and magnesium supplements.
I’ve had a tinnitus like that in 2010. Started one morning for apparently no reason. I had an mri maybe 1 year after and the diagnosis was a dural arteriovenous fistula. DAVF. It’s dangerous because there is arterial blood going into veins. At some point the veins will fail and it will hemorrhage in the brain. It took 2 surgeries but a doctor was able to embolize the blood vessels and the arterial blood stopped going into the veins. Tinnitus stopped too.
Nice videos I got it is doctor a neurologist
I’ve never used a Dutch oven ‘cos I don’t have one 😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧
😂
I have watched sooooo many videos on sour dough bread and thrown away so much starter I gave up but now I’ve actually managed to make a successful loaf, yaaaaaaaaay. Good luck 🇬🇧🇬🇧
It's such a great feeling when you're finally DONE haha I'm glad yours was a success!
Was the stroke the result of the stent placement?
No, it was following a procedure to check on the condition of the stent. I am better now thankfully.
I love Kauai. Let’s move there.
Just your thoughts...Grand Hyatt or Aulani? Please compare, and which one would you go back to? We have done both in the last couple of years. Your Aulani video helped us plan our Aulani trip. But over all we loved the Grand Hyatt vibe. I would go to the Hyatt year after year. The Aulani seems like a trip we loved, but don't feel the need to go back anytime soon. Hyatt has a vibe of Relaxation and we always felt we had areas of the pool all to ourselves.
I am a Disney fan but I would choose the Grand Hyatt over Aulani 🫢 you are correct, we loved Aulani but don’t feel like we have to go back (unless someone offers me a free trip 🤣). The Grand Hyatt is just on a whole other level. The pools were amazing. Definitely would go back there!
Do you have hearing loss too? I have mild hearing loss along with the tinnitus
I do not have hearing loss thankfully. Wishing you well.
I have both the heart beat AND the ringing. I just accepted this as baseline🤷
Thank you for that info cause I'm worried about that heart beat sound in my ear so thanks again😊
That's what I notice when I don't hear the ringing, it's replaced by a headache. I believe it is caused by poor circulation and chronic stress. Everything is related to gut, liver, heart, kidney, pancreas and hormonal imbalance. We need to take care of ourselves. Tinnitus is a warning sign to love more of yourself.
I woke up with a week ago and I don't know what to do. I'm only 13 and it's so distracting. I don't know how I am going to focus when school starts again.
I need to understand this a bit better, so i can decide for 😢 how to proceed with my terribly noisy pulsing in my ear. How can i contact you for a longer conversation?
It was so funny seeing traveling Brian from this perspective 😂
I'd like to reach you. Please reach out to me about pulsatile tinnitus. I'm trying to decide what to do
Hahahaaa, I’m you when traveling… we are the “traveling dads”
The. you maed outstanding masterpiece!
I wish i coukd have joined. Did they give print outs? Love your videos.
Praying for you. 🙏
Thank you
This video is amazing! ❤
This started to happen to me a couple weeks ago after i went on vacation and the cabin air pressue was crzy when landing....i hear my heartbeat only when im trying to sleep but i feel its anxiety and stress so im working on those
I hope it's only temporary for you, Wishing you well.
I honestly think it’s a gift to hear your heart beat, not everyone can do it and I don’t think they have a diagnosis because it’s completely normal when you are very self aware 😭
So future you, will learn how to make sourdough 🍞 bread! So, that’s good! Thx sweet girl. God bless you and your fam! 🙏🏻🥁❤️🍞
Just getting the starter going……..it’s been 4 weeks and 300 U Tube videos later, finally ready to bake😅! Uhhh…tomorrow,lol. Thx for adding some joy into this process! And NO on volunteering to bring bread to parties! When I make a loaf, I am HIDING that dang bread for me and my hubby only! Thx and God Bless Y’all! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
hahahah I completely understand! I wanted my family to try but at the same time I wanted it all to myself since I worked so hard on it haha
Perfect loaf on your first try! 😋 Hope you kept with it learning what works for you along the way. I’ve used starter at it peak, after it’s peak, 7 days old in fridge etc. and didn’t notice a difference 🤷♀️
I think I got lucky on my first one lol
You did it ! It’s beautiful and looks so delicious❤ Congrats🎉
Thank you!
So funny! I can so relate! I started making sourdough about 4 years ago. My starter’s name is “Mom” (long story on the name, lol). I watched like 2 million videos. Everyone does it different which is so confusing. Finally I just went for it and I am so glad I have stuck with it. The one thing I will say is that you will figure out how to make sourdough fit your lifestyle and it will be great! I work as well so Mom comes out of the fridge on Friday, I feed her a couple of times and make bread on Sunday! Stick with it! You have won half the battle with your starter!
That sounds like a good schedule to try out! Thanks for the tip! It definitely gets confusing with so many different ways to make sourdough!
It's funny because it is true. After watching a Gazillion videos myself this one made me laugh so hard. It has been 10 days and I'm still working on my starter. LOL PS. Your bread looked amazing. I hope I can accomplish the same.
I'm glad I made you laugh! It's definitely not as easy as everyone makes it out to be lol
Ive had ear problems forever...i had like 2 sets of tubes in ears as a baby...sinus surgeries you name it...but as i have gotten older prolly 25 to present 32 i developed the woosh...it kind of comes and goes...certain sound pitches cause my hearing to fade away and sound like static regradless of volume...but high volume causes same thing...ive never known what quiet really is...pair all that w being a firearm enthusiast ive also been exposed to tons of loud bangs and i have some permanent hearing loss for sure in left ear
It was a pleasure watching this video! Been making sour dough breads for many years, and we all went thru what you experienced. I never thought the darn thing would come alive, and the flour I wasted. I still lose patience with it, but it all works. Keep trying, your bread looked awesome, and your stamina gave me the inspiration to keep going. When it comes out of the oven, SUCESS!👍🏻🥖🍞. Now, you can try so many things, pizza dough, dinner rolls, homemade pasta, and so much more as time goes on. Good Luck☘️
Thank you for your kind comment! I hope to one day make all of these things!
