As we end another year here at The #hustle Blog, I think it’s a great time to look back on the great year we’ve had. It’s probably been the best year in terms of everything – travel, points accruing, and life in general!

My year of flight

Here’s a list with links to my highlights of 2012:

• Settling into a new house with a mortgage all while still churning credit cards
• Getting married & honeymooning in Hawaii on points and miles
• Attending two great frequent flyer events – Freddy Awards & Frequent Traveler University
• Earning another few hundred thousands points & miles from credit card signups 
• Earning the Southwest Companion Pass through credit card signups
• Earning hundreds of thousands of Club Carlson points mattress running with the Radisson Big Night Giveaway
• Joann & my first time in international First Class ‘Round The World to Bali
• Another successful American Express Small Business Saturday
• Mistake fares & cheap fares!
• Chicago for $63
• Madrid for $284
• Buenos Aires for $386
• American Express Bluebird
• Traveling more this year than I ever have (here’s my entire flight map, not just 2012)

Those are all the things that come to mind when I reflected on what a great year this has been. Let me know in the comments what your 2012 highlights were – travel or otherwise!
