A Pleasant Surprise on United ✈️

I originally booked Economy Plus for my flight home and was perfectly happy with the extra legroom. As always, I kept an eye on the upgrade list, hoping for Business Class if space became available.

While relaxing in the lounge before departure I opened the United app and moved my seat from a middle seat to an aisle seat. When I arrived at the gate, the agent told me I needed a new boarding pass because there had been a seat change due to movement throughout the cabin.

To my surprise, while I didn’t clear into Business Class, I had been moved from Economy Plus into United Premium Plus.

For those who may not know, Economy Plus provides additional legroom, but Premium Plus is a completely separate cabin with wider seats, greater recline, upgraded dining, enhanced amenities, and a much more comfortable experience on a long-haul international flight.

What made the upgrade even sweeter is that I always monitor cabin pricing before departure to see whether upgrade costs go up or down. Had I wanted to purchase that Premium Plus seat outright, it would have cost approximately $3,900 more than what I originally booked.

Needless to say, I was thrilled when the seat change worked in my favor. While it wasn’t the Business Class upgrade I was hoping for, it was still a significant improvement and a great reminder that sometimes airline upgrades and cabin reshuffling can lead to some very pleasant surprises.

Have you ever received an unexpected upgrade while traveling?

Travel isn’t about checking destinations off a list. It’s about collecting moments, stories, and memories that become part of who we are.

Over the last 12 days, I’ve been fortunate to explore South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. If I’ve been a little quiet on social media, it’s because I’ve been focused on being present and soaking in every moment rather than viewing it through a screen.

From game drives and incredible wildlife encounters to the power of Victoria Falls, a fascinating vulture conservation experience, breathtaking sunsets, and even a few special moments that can’t be shared publicly for the protection of the animals, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Don’t worry—I have plenty of photos and stories to share, so get ready for lots of Africa content as I catch up!

What destination has left the biggest impression on you?

The sounds of Africa just hit different. 🇿🇦✨

Birds singing nonstop, hippos grunting through the night, and game drives filled with rhinos, blue wildebeest, baboons, impalas and so much more. 🦛🦏

Safari is more than photos… it’s the feeling of being surrounded by nature in a way that’s hard to explain until you experience it yourself. 🌿

Headline: Honoring the Legacy Beyond the Long Weekend 🇺🇸✨
While many look at this weekend as just a BBQ kickoff to summer, Memorial Day holds a deeply personal space in my heart.
Service is the thread that runs through my family. Today, I’m holding my two children currently serving close in my thoughts, while looking back with immense pride at the legacy of my grandmother, and my children’s grandfather and great-uncle who served before them.
Because of this, I know that travel is often about far more than a vacation—it’s about connection, heritage, and history.
Whether it's walking the beaches of Normandy, visiting the American Cemetery in Florence, or tracing your own family’s footsteps, there is incredible power in traveling with purpose.
Today, we pause, remember, and honor.
Where is the most historically meaningful place your travels have taken you? Let’s share and honor those stories in the comments below. 👇

The elephant sanctuary experience is definitely a must-do when visiting this region. Such an incredible mix of education, connection, and fun here in Bela-Bela, South Africa. 🐘
