Travel Tuesday: Sleeper Hold Travel Pillow Review
by Kyle Burbank
Earlier this year, I shared how I had contributed to a Kickstarter campaign for a new travel product. Well, just a couple of months later, that item arrived at my door: the Sleeper Hold travel pillow. As luck would have it, soon after the pillow's arrival, I ended up taking... Hotel Reviews
Travel Tuesday: Amex Centurion Hong Kong Lounge Review
by Kyle Burbank
Even though I've been an American Express Platinum cardmember since 2019, prior to last month, I had only been to three Centurion Lounge locations: LAS (multiple times), PHL, and CLT.

Not only did the airline move to a model... Travel Tips
Travel Tuesday: Amex Centurion Lounge Coming to EWR in 2026
by Kyle Burbank
When I was a kid, my family would travel between Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey at least once per year. Because of this, I have plenty of distinct memories from both hubs — but especially EWR. I still think about the signs at... Travel Tips

Travel Tuesday: Conrad Indianapolis Hotel Review
by Kyle Burbank
Last week, after years and dozens of times driving through it, I finally had the chance to spend some time in Indianapolis, Indiana. What brought me to town was Gen Con — a gaming convention that I was covering for my other work. But, of course, this also gave me... Travel Product Reviews
Travel Tuesday: Suavs Zilker Travel Shoes Review
by Kyle Burbank
There's a certain danger in establishing myself as someone who reviews products. Despite also being a personal finance writer, I can't tell you how many times I've seen ads for items on Instagram and thought "I should buy that to review." In some cases, I can shake off this feeling...
