2024 Solis 5G Mobile Hotspot Review

For years, I've been a regular user of Solis mobile hotspots and have used them for several international trips (and some domestic). Of course, as the years have gone on, my Solis 1 device has grown a bit old. While it still works just fine, it has been discontinued and...

AAA Review: Is AAA Worth It in 2024?

When I turned 16 years old and got my driverā€™s license, one of the gifts my father gave me was a AAA (American Automobile Association) membership. In 2013, following a short lapse in membership, my wife and I decided that our road-tripping ways would make having AAA a smart idea....

Travel Tuesday: Moderne Gentleman vs. Halfday - Comparing the Garment Duffles

Last week, I shared a look at the Moderne Gentleman Travel Duffle. As you may have noticed, that bag bears some resemblance to the Halfday Garment Duffle, which I previously reviewed.

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: How I Earned $50 with MGM's Resort Hopping Offer for Las Vegas

Last week, I attended my fourth CES in Las Vegas. Ahead of the show's actual start, I had a chance to check out some of what was new on the Strip ā€” or at least new to me, since I haven't been there in 18+ months. Incidentally, something new to...
