Travel Tuesday: Excalibur Hotel Room Review
Funny story: although my wife and I got married at the Excalibur in Las Vegas, we never actually stayed there. So, when we were looking for a cheap place to stay as part of our latest Vegas trip, we decided to finally give the place a shot — despite the fact that the chapel where…

Travel Tuesday: Crockfords Las Vegas (Resorts World)
You’re not going to believe this but, recently, my wife and I spent more time in Las Vegas. Having returned, it’s now time to continue my ongoing Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. Today, I’ll be taking a look at the Crockfords hotel located at the new Resorts World complex on the Strip. This luxury property happens…

Travel Tuesday: Aparthotel Adagio Serris (Hipark) Hotel Review
It’s now been a couple of years since I started doing these Travel Tuesday columns, which have now included a number of hotel reviews. Naturally, as a result, when I stay at hotels these days, I know pretty much from the jump that I’ll be writing a review about it. Yet, I realized that there’s…

Travel Tuesday: Arro App Review – Hailing an NYC Cab with My Phone
Having been born in New Jersey and growing up loving New York City, I occasionally like to fancy myself as someone well in the know when it comes to Manhattan. Alas, this illusion falls apart pretty quickly when I’m actually there. For example, not only can I not navigate the subway in fewer than three…

Travel Tuesday: Paris Las Vegas Hotel Room Review
So far this year, I’ve done far more traveling than I anticipated. Because of that, I nearly forgot about one of the entries for my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. This past January, before going to real Paris, my wife and I spent five nights at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Sin City. Thus, I’m…

Travel Tuesday: Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace Hotel Review (Walt Disney World)
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a look at my Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser adventure. But, before that unique (and pricey) experience, my wife and I spent three nights in more conventional accommodations, booking a stay at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace. Located in the Disney Springs Area of Walt Disney World, the…

Travel Tuesday: Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Hotel Review
Well, it finally happened. Months after my friends and I booked our stay aboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World, our adventure took place last week. Having returned to Earth, I have a lot of thoughts on this pricey and unique experience — but I thought I’d start by sharing a review…

Travel Tuesday: Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel Hotel Review
For years, my wife and I have been big fans of Marvel and specifically the Marvel Cinematic Universe. More recently, we’ve also come to love Disneyland Paris, with the resort ranking among our favorite Disney Parks in the world (we even have annual passes for this resort instead of the domestic ones). That’s why we’ve…

Travel Tuesday: InCharge Cables Review — Tech Minimalism for Travel
Over the years that my wife and I have been traveling together, a funny thing has happened. While we’ve managed to become incredibly efficient when it comes to packing clothes, toiletries, and the like, the amount of tech we now need to bring on every trip only seems to grow. Granted, part of this is…

Travel Tuesday: Alaska Airlines Has a New “Flight Pass” Subscription Option
Being a big Disney fan, I’m quite familiar with the concept of an Annual Pass. Indeed, at several times in my life, I’ve made strong use of such offerings, lowering the price per visit each time I showed up at the gates, while still helping Disney to make use of unused capacity. So what if…

Travel Tuesday: Using an International Power Converter vs. Power Adapter
Traveling internationally can often present a number of changes and challenges — some of which you might not think of off the bat. Sure, we all know that visiting other parts of the world may mean a language barrier, the need for a different type of currency (although credit cards are starting to make that…

Travel Tuesday: Mirage Resort King Room Hotel Review
Earlier this month, I had the chance to check out the 2022 CES convention… so you know what that means: it’s time for another installment of my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. Today’s entry is actually a tad different as the situation is rather unique. See, rather than checking out a hotel because they have something…
