Travel Tuesday: Le Meridien Indianapolis Hotel Review

When I attended GenCon in Indianapolis, Indiana last year, I was taken aback by how many hotels there were in the area — and how many of them were sold out when I went to book. That's how I ended up at the Conrad Indianapolis. This time around, it was...

Travel Tuesday: Voco The Tiger Hotel Review (Columbia, Missouri)

This past weekend, my wife and I found ourselves in Columbia, Missouri. Located about three hours away from our home in Springfield, COMO is home to the University of Missouri (better known as Mizzou), which rivals our own Missouri State University. As our Saturday drew to a close, we realized...

Travel Tuesday: MGM Grand King Room Review Revisited

It's been a while since I've added to my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. Well, that's also because it had been some time since I last had a chance to visit Sin City. But, back in January for CES, that changed. This time around, I spent a week at the MGM...

Travel Tuesday: The Club CLE Lounge Review

Last fall, my wife and I kicked off a multi-city excursion by flying out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. As we arrived for our short flight to Detroit (before an extremely long flight to Hong Kong), I was surprised to find that a lounge we had access to was available...

Travel Tuesday: Caption by Hyatt Memphis Hotel Review

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to visit Memphis, Tennessee. Despite driving through the city a few times, this was my first proper visit (albeit one that was quite short). To mark the occasion, I decided to look for something that was convenient for me but that also...

Travel Tuesday: Universal's Aventura Hotel Review

For as many theme parks as I've been to in my life, it's not very often that I actually get to stay on property at these resorts. So, while visiting Orlando back in October 2023, I decided to change that and book a stay at Universal's Aventura Hotel — located at...

Travel Tuesday: Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel Review

Something funny about me is that, despite being a huge Disney fan who knows the parks like the back of my hand, I can count the number of times I've stayed on Walt Disney World property on just a few fingers. But, while continuing our Florida trip that saw us...

Travel Tuesday: Hilton Grand Vacations Tuscany Village Orlando Review

When we returned from our trip to Hong Kong, we didn't go back home. Instead, we headed straight to Florida for a friend's wedding. But, with a week to spend in Orlando, we decided to try a few different places during our time there. We also happened to wait until...
Matina Lounge ICN entrance

Travel Tuesday: Matina Lounge ICN Review

In the time that I've had my American Express Platinum Card, I had only ever visited one lounge via the Priority Pass that the card comes with — and even that wasn't a real lounge (it was a Minute Suites where my pass got me one hour for free and...
entryway to the American Express Centurion Lounge Hong Kong

Travel Tuesday: Amex Centurion Hong Kong Lounge Review

Even though I've been an American Express Platinum cardmember since 2019, prior to last month, I had only been to three Centurion Lounge locations: LAS (multiple times), PHL, and CLT. That's partially because my travel took a bit of a dip soon after gaining my card (for obvious reasons) and...

Travel Tuesday: Novotel Citygate Hong Kong Hotel Review

A couple of weeks ago, for the first time since 2019, my wife and I had a chance to return to Hong Kong. As these plans were coming together, I knew exactly where I wanted to stay: the Novotel Citygate Hong Kong. I'd actually stayed here twice before and was...

Travel Tuesday: Hotel Vandivort Explorer Suite Review

No, your memory does not deceive you: I have reviewed Hotel Vandivort before — twice, in fact. However, with my wife and I recently celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, we saw it fit to pay a visit to our local luxury hotel. This time around, however, we opted to try...

Travel Tuesday: Transferring Points Between MGM Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy

Last year, MGM Resorts announced that it was breaking off its long-standing partnership with Hyatt... but then nearly immediately revealed a new deal with Marriott Bonvoy. At the time, I was hopeful that pact would mean enticing status matching as it did with Hyatt, but that sadly turned out not...

Walmart+ Has Added a 'Whopper' of a Membership Perk

Ever since Walmart introduced its Walmart+ subscription in 2020, the mega-retailer has continually added benefits or upgrades to the program. That streak extended recently as the company announced that they were teaming up with Burger King for a new perk. Now, Walmart+ members can score 25% off at BK —...

Lemonade Pet Insurance Review (2024): Policy Options & What's Covered

Pets have always been an important part of many American families. Yet, I don’t think I’d ever really considered the idea of purchasing insurance for a dog or cat until I learned that Lemonade was adding such an option. Cut to a mere month after when my wife and I...
