Yesterday I published a post about the credit cards in my wallet at the start of 2021 and already that post is dated. It’s dated because after writing that post, another new credit card arrived in the mail. This one though, is quite different than any other card in my wallet. In fact, I doubt…
The Apple Watch is one of those things I’ve never really understood. Don’t get me wrong, I see why people would love it, but I just didn’t think it was for me. I don’t use a fitness tracker, I don’t want to be more connected, and I already wear an analog watch. For those reasons,…
One of the most frustrating things about traveling is trying to stay connected. For years I’ve had T-Mobile One phone service which offers free international cell data. However, there have been a few times where I’ve arrived in a new country only to find out that T-Mobile doesn’t offer free data there. The other alternative…
If you’ve read this blog with any regularly you might already know that I’m a fan of year-end reviews. I personally like when airlines, hotels, or credit card companies provide year-end summaries. I like these summaries because they serve as a welcomed reminder of the prior year. They also provide insights into travel or spending…
It’s been a while since I’ve written about “travel tech” and frankly, that’s because I haven’t been using anything new for quite a while. Well, since my last installment of Travel Tech I did buy an Anker power bank, but more on that to come. Today, I wanted to briefly discuss DJI’s new Mavic Mini…
I find it hard to believe that 2019 is more than halfway over. What’s even harder to believe is that I’m done flying to earn elite status. Any day now I should receive American Airlines AAdvantage credit for my most recent flight in Business Class on Cathay Pacific. Once those miles post to my account…
In the past I’ve raved about Mobile Passport. In fact, it’s one of the travel apps that I value most on my phone today. Since I first started using Mobile Passport I’ve saved countless hours waiting in line at customs when arriving home from international trips. Given all of the wonderful things I’ve said about…
This might surprise you, but until earlier this year I did not own an international travel adapter. In years past I just sort of always got by. Most of the time when I traveled internationally I stayed at hotels which offered either US power outlets or at least USB outlets. Also, back then, I wasn’t…
In mid-March I finally caved. After seeing Apple AirPods literally everywhere I finally decided to buy a set of the truly wireless headphones. Prior to making the purchase I avoided buying AirPods for one simple reason. The standard apple wired headphones fall out of my ears; constantly. I figured since AirPods are the same shape…
As a few of you may remember, earlier this year I had a fairly poor experience with headphones. Specifically, I had a pretty bad experience with the new Bose SoundSport Free headphones. Those headphones were $250 and didn’t quite work as well as I’d hoped. Luckily, after reaching out to Bose, the manufacturer agreed to…
