TravelTraveling 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...
TravelEarlier 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...
TravelTwo years ago — in early 2020 — I bought a product I was hoping to get a lot of use of on all of the airplanes I figured I'd be hopping on. At this point, I don't even really remember how I discovered it, but its inclusion on my list of "5 Interesting Travel Products...
TravelIf you’ve traveled internationally in recent years, you may have noticed signs for Global Entry as you made your way to the long line for customs and immigration when arriving back in the States. Furthermore, if you’re anything like me, you may have assumed that this Global Entry offering was something exclusive to those with...
TravelI'm not sure if I have awful timing or amazing timing. Exhibit A: I started this Travel Tuesday column in February of 2020, just before travel halted — but it could be argued that this actually worked well since I could reflect on past travels while people were daydreaming about an eventual return to the world....
TravelIs there anything better than a good night's sleep? Alas, so few of us are regularly able to achieve such luxury for one reason or another. Whether you're traveling or are at home, errant noises in the night may be among the things keeping you awake or interrupting your slumber. That's something that the Bose...
TravelLast year, my wife and I took a business trip to Dallas. Along the way, we passed a couple of gas stations that bore a distinctive and adorable beaver mascot and bright yellow background on their signage. For a moment, I thought perhaps the beaver was named "Katy," although that just happened to be the...
TravelAfter a short break, I'm back with more of my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. Technically, this is actually a new season of the Bonanza as it comes from my latest trip to Sin City in October 2021. And while I typically like to give in-depth looks at hotel properties and the room products I stay...
TravelFor years, I've sworn by the use of the messenger bag for my travels. Along with full-sized carry-on items, the messenger style was my go-to for a "personal item" that could hold my laptop, a change of clothes, and other items while also serving as a daypack at our destination. Alas, it seems that the...
TravelI don't know about you but for me, one of the most stressful parts of booking a trip is finding the right time to make my purchase. While part of me wants to lock my plans in as I make them, another part of me knows that being a bit more strategic can yield good...
TravelLiving in the middle of the country makes things pretty interesting when it comes to planning trips. Thanks to our local airport, we can get to a number of hubs easily and, from there, travel to just about anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, if we're staying domestic, we also have the option of driving to...
TravelWhen it comes to collecting points and miles via credit cards, one of the most confusing factors is that the value of the points you earn can vary greatly depending on how you choose to redeem them. For example, while American Express's Membership Rewards points will typically only net you 0.6¢ per point when used...
