Travel Tuesday: Could Unbundled Business Class Come to Delta?
There’s no question that flying in business class is a completely different experience than in economy.

Last year, seasoned traveler turned travel writer and expert Lisa Niver released her new book Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents, and Feeling Fearless After Fifty.

Travel Tuesday: Voco The Tiger Hotel Review (Columbia, Missouri)
This past weekend, my wife and I found ourselves in Columbia, Missouri. Located about three hours away from our home in Springfield, COMO is home to the University of Missouri (better known as Mizzou), which rivals our own Missouri State University.

Halfday Garment Duffle Review: Travel Hero or Dud?
Have you ever been served ads for a product on Instagram so often that you eventually break down and buy it? As a personal finance blogger, this is not a practice I can endorse. However, as someone who reviews products, I have much more tolerance for allowing myself to give in (#content). That’s what happened…

My Initial Experience in the Overwhelming World of Travel Hacking
Over the past few years, my wife and I have had the good fortune of getting to enjoy an increasing amount of travel. This includes heading to domestic locations such as Los Angeles for the D23 Expo and Orlando to visiting Walt Disney World, as well as international travels to Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Heck, we…

Travel Tuesday: MGM Grand King Room Review Revisited
It’s been a while since I’ve added to my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™. Well, that’s also because it had been some time since I last had a chance to visit Sin City. But, back in January for CES, that changed. This time around, I spent a week at the MGM Grand — which happens to…

Last fall, my wife and I kicked off a multi-city excursion by flying out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

Travel Tuesday: Caption by Hyatt Memphis Hotel Review
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to visit Memphis, Tennessee. Despite driving through the city a few times, this was my first proper visit (albeit one that was quite short).

2025 Solis Lite WiFi Hotspot Review
As someone who regularly “workations” and relies on a solid Internet connection to be productive while traveling, it’s kind of crazy that I went without a WiFi hotspot for so long. That’s mostly because I had never come across a particular device that jumped out at me. Well, that was until my first CES when…

Travel Tuesday: Delta is Changing Its Boarding Procedures… Kind Of
As a loyal-ish Delta customer, I like to think that I have a pretty good handle on what to expect when flying the airline. This includes knowing the order of their boarding groups — and even what I’d need to do in order to move up the food chain. Well, soon, that’s all changing… at…

Travel Tuesday: Universal’s Aventura Hotel Review
For as many theme parks as I’ve been to in my life, it’s not very often that I actually get to stay on property at these resorts. So, while visiting Orlando back in October 2023, I decided to change that and book a stay at Universal’s Aventura Hotel — located at Universal Orlando Resort. This modern…
