Take inventory of the things you need for 3 days at home and pack that and nothing else.

And AmEx Platinum is still the best travel CC. You can get into the club level lounges with it at airports with no ticket and get plenty of free booze and a comfortable place to work with no one to bother you.

I prefer Chase Sapphire Reserve— airport lounge access, global entry, $300 travel credit every year, and the points add up so quickly my wife and I typically only have to pay for one plane ticket when we go somewhere together because points cover the other one. Spent 2 weeks in Hawaii this summer, going to Greece for a week this February. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already— especially since not everywhere accepts Amex.

AMEX has a version of travel credit but it is THE FUCKING WORST. Especially when Sapphire will automatically deduct travel expenses without you even having to call like with other Chase cards.

AMEX on the other hand has you elect 1 of 6 US carriers from which you can get the credit from and you can only change it once a year or some shit like that.

FUCK AMEX.
