Travel Tuesday: The Nash (Formerly The Bobby) Nashville Hotel Review
A funny thing happened to me recently when I was booking a hotel. When Googling a property I had seen listed, I was surprised to find that “The Nash” in Nashville, ironically, didn’t rank well (something in Dallas kept coming up).

Updated on April 1, 2026 Right before the pandemic, I was booking an Allegiant flight to Las Vegas and saw an option for Allegiant Extra.

Travel Tuesday: Allegiant Wants You to “Travel with Confidence”
Over the past few weeks, travel has been a bit… treacherous. Overlooking international matters, here at home, several airports have been inundated with long lines and closed checkpoints due to the partial government shutdown that’s left TSA workers without pay.

Aeropress Go Travel Coffee Press Review – The Best Option?
Updated on March 23, 2026 When my wife and I are traveling and working, one of the biggest considerations is how we’re going to get our morning coffee.

Travel Tuesday: Booking a Capital One Lifestyle Collection Hotel Stay – My Experience
You may have heard of Amex’s Fine Hotels & Resorts program (as well as the similar-but-different Hotel Collection program). You might have also heard of The Edit by Chase.
