Travel Tuesday: Solis Tag Mobile Hotspot Review – What Makes It Different
Many years ago now, I purchased a WiFi hotspot device then known as the Skyroam Solis. Then, a couple of years ago, I decided to upgrade to the Solis Pro 5G. Yet, when I learned that the company was releasing a new device called the Tag back in February, I decided to pick up yet…

Travel Tuesday: July Capsule Carry On Pro Luggage Review
I’ve never been a big fan of hardshell luggage. Even as I’ve seen them become the preferred option among travelers that I see in the airport, not that I’m keeping a strict count, I never really understood them.

A few years ago, I did something kind of crazy: I spent $250 on sleep earbuds that essentially just play white noise.

As I’ve mentioned more than a few times before, after purchasing a pair of water-resistant Allbirds Runner-Up Mizzles a few years back, they quickly became my go-to travel shoe.

Travel Tuesday: The Club ATL Grab & Go Pantry Lounge Review
Last week, I set off for San Francisco from my home in Springfield, Missouri. But, since I was flying Delta, I of course needed to make a stop in Atlanta before my flight back in the correct direction. Over the years, I’ve spent plenty of time at ATL, so when something new pops up, I…

Travel Tuesday: Anker MagGo UFO 3-in-1 Charger Review – Travel With Fewer Cables
Updated on May 5, 2026 To me, one of the most annoying parts of traveling in 2026 is ensuring that I pack chargers for all of the various devices I plan on bringing with me. That’s why, in the past, I’ve been a fan of Rolling Square’s InCharge multi-purpose cables that have built-in adapters. But,…

Allegiant Extra Review – Worth the Upgrade?
Updated on April 1, 2026 Right before the pandemic, I was booking an Allegiant flight to Las Vegas and saw an option for Allegiant Extra. This upgrade included extra legroom, priority boarding, and other perks. Naturally, as something of an Allegiant connoisseur, I had to try it. Of course, as you can imagine, that trip…

Aeropress Go Travel Coffee Press Review – The Best Option?
Updated on March 23, 2026 When my wife and I are traveling and working, one of the biggest considerations is how we’re going to get our morning coffee. It’s not even like we’re big caffeine addicts or need our java to function, but coffee has become something we look forward to enjoying every morning as…

Updated on February 19, 2026 When packing for a trip, there are a few things I can’t leave home without. At the top of the list (among the numerous chargers and cables I need for my various devices these days) is a comfortable hoodie. Not only is this a must while flying or driving, but…

2026 Solis Pro 5G Mobile Hotspot Review
Updated on February 11, 2026 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 by, my Solis 1 device has grown a bit old. While it still works just fine, it has been discontinued and…
