I spend my time (and resources) pursuing two hobbies: accumulating frequent-flyer and hotel status, points and miles and Latin dancing. I'm more successful with the former though both are great fun.
I am currently a Delta Diamond Medallion, American Airlines Executive Platinum, and United Silver. Hotel status includes Starwood Lifetime Platinum and SPG Ambassador, Marriott and Ritz Carlton Platinum. IHG Platinum and Hilton Gold
I'm a licensed instrument-rated private pilot for single-engine land, fixed-wing aircraft although I have let my currency and medical certificate lapse.
I fly about 400,000butt-in-seat miles per year in economy, business and first class. All international first-class flights and most international business-class flights are courtesy of award tickets from ff miles from credit card points and bonuses, and actual flying.
This blog reports on aircraft, airlines, lounges, hotels, destinations, and Latin dancing events and venues. Comments and suggestions are welcome

Free Singapore Heritage Tour From Singapore Changi Airport (SIN)
The free Singapore tour also demonstrates that long layovers need not necessarily be dreaded. Many international airports have very appealing options to pass the time. I found a great free walking tour on a New York City layover and there are a ton of things to do including several free tours at ICN. Just do a little looking around in person or online or ask at an airport information counter.
