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…

Travel Tuesday: I Am Now a Buc-ee’s Believer
Last 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…

Travel Tuesday: Luxor Tower Elite King and NoMad Classic King Hotel Room Reviews
After 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…

Travel Tuesday: Away Zip Backpack Review
For 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…
