Mr. MMM mentioned or linked to a fellow frugal blogger who could offer specific advice on travelling to Ecuador for tremendous savings. Can you help me find the travel hack guy?

I think you may be looking for http://www.milesdividendmd.com/ (http://www.milesdividendmd.com/)

Miles doesn't do much travel hacking blogging (none at all, IIRC?), he's more on the manufactured spend aspect of it.
Maybe Brad over at RichmondSavers.com ? EMail him and he can probably help.
There's a lot of places to get travel hacking advice/tips, including on these forums. :)

Arebelspy,
What does "manufactured spend" mean?

Making it look like you are spending a lot of money without actually spending a lot of money (or any at all)

its basically making it look like you're spending money. so you can get CC bonus/rewards without spending the money. You can use a CC at target to load a prepaid debit card. Then you can transfer that money to your bank account and pay off the Credit card ... to the tune of 5k /month. so you can fake spend 5k/month which will get you a free trip to hawaii in about 3 months the way i did it.

The one mentioned by MMM, who also curates the credit card section on the website is Brandon.
Here is his blog.

Holly will come up with a CC bonus strategy for you.
Off-hand I'd try to find a 50,000 mile offer from Delta. I got an e-mail offer today with that bonus - I guess for being a Delta frequent flyer member.
