January brought a unique and unplanned trip to the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago.  Initially, we had planned a bucket list trip to India and the Maldives with a couple friend of ours.  But, United kept canceling the SFO to BLR flight on which we’d booked a screaming deal at $683/pp and received free upgrades to Polaris both ways.  With continued travel restrictions to India due to the pandemic, we felt it best to postpone are deal of a lifetime and bucket list trip.  (Note: we were using Marriott points for the over-the-water bungalow, so this was indeed a very inexpensive trip aside from food and activities.)  Canceling that left me uninspired, so Matt came to the rescue, finding first class tickets for a mere $380 round-trip to Trinidad.  He took care of the hotel in Trinidad and the house rental in Tobago, while I took care of the flights.
