  • Travel Tuesday: July Capsule Carry On Pro Luggage Review

    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. Mainly, my issue is that the typical clamshell design that splits the bag into two equal parts…

    Travel Tuesday: Fitnexa SomniPods 3 Review

    A few years ago, I did something kind of crazy: I spent $250 on sleep earbuds that essentially just play white noise. This purchase was mostly fueled by a desire to sleep through thunder-filled, Midwest nights — but I quickly found that the Bose Sleepbuds I purchased were perfect for travel and have been on…

    Travel Tuesday: Allbirds Weatherproof Hightops – How They Compare to Mizzles

    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. That’s because they’re not only comfortable but also help protect my feet from wet weather while on the road (there are few things I hate more…

    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?

    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

    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…

  • Travel Tuesday: Comfrt Airplane Mode Travel Zip Hoodie Review

    Travel Tuesday: Comfrt Airplane Mode Travel Zip Hoodie Review

    I’ve previously gone on record as saying that I end up finding a number of interesting products via Instagram ads. And today’s item is no different. Just last month, I was served an ad for a hoodie from Comfrt that boasted some intriguing features. So, since I had a couple of upcoming trips at the…

"Smart Brevity" Book Review — Can it Help Improve Your Writing?
I'm not 100% sure when it was that I first heard about the site Axios. Regardless, these days, I'm subscribed to several of their newsletters, regularly visit their website, and may or may not have already taken some inspiration from them when revamping the news style of the Disney site I write for. For those...
Solis is Launching Yet Another New Global WiFi Hotspot Model
Back in 2019, I purchased my first Solis (then known as Skyroam Solis) international hotspot device. Since then, though, the company has rolled out a number of new models — and that pace has really hastened over the past couple of years. That continued this month as preorders for their new Solis Tag device opened....
The Author Journey: Combating Headwinds
A few months ago, I resolved to finally get cracking on a book idea that had been floating around in my head for some time now. To correspond with this goal, I also decided to launch a monthly blog series taking you through the ups and downs of preparing a manuscript. Well, this particular entry...
Everything You Need to Know About Flying Allegiant Air in 2026
Updated on February 3, 2026 When my wife and I moved to Springfield, Missouri more than a decade ago, one of the selling points (or at least what kept it in the running) was that there was a nearby airport that served a decent number of destinations. Unfortunately, while it is convenient, flying out of...

Another Centurion Lounge Access Policy Update is Now in Effect
Over the past several years, the popularity of airport lounge networks has caused these locations to adjust their entry rules. For example, Delta Sky Clubs now limit the number of times Amex Platinum and Delta SkyMiles Reserve cardholders can visit per year, while Amex's own Centurion lounges have disallowed cardmembers from bringing guests — although,...
Amex's Saks Fifth Avenue "Make Good" Offers Are More "Meh"
Back in March, American Express announced that the semi-annual Saks Fifth Avenue credit that had been offered on the Platinum card would be removed on July 1st. As I noted when sharing that news, this wasn't a huge loss as the Saks online shopping experience had gotten noticeably worse over the years, making it harder...
