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…

Travel Tuesday: Soarigami Review — A Novelty That’s Pretty Genius
Two 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…

Global Entry: What is it and is it Worth it for Travelers?
If 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…

Travel Tuesday: Using Abbott BinaxNOW Ag Card Home Test with eMed Telehealth Services for Travel
I’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.…

Travel Tuesday: Bose Sleepbuds 2 Review — A Travel Essential?
Is 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…
