Travel Tip: Trading Rental Cars
I had an unfortunate adventure on our most recent road trip. The good news is that there’s a lesson to be learned from it! The story begins below, with the lesson at the end.

Travel Hack: Florida Car Trick
I’m coming today with a new travel hack that’s changed the way I think about summer travel. The short version? Step 1: Go to Florida. Step 2. Leave.
Flying Road Trip: A to B
Travel tip: Don’t rule out a journey that doesn’t come full circle.
Frontier Airlines – Is GoWild for You?
When booking a flight recently, I saw a tremendously intriguing option. Frontier Airlines offers a “GoWild” pass promising unlimited flights for the next 1.25 years for only $349/year!
Winter Road Trip – Migrating Southward
I have a curse. Any time I drive more than an hour south of Chicago in the winter, I hit a blizzard on the road. I’m 4/4 on winter road trips, and in every single one of these cases, my drive home is 100% clear. All that is to say that when I recently took a road trip to Atlanta, I most certainly hit a nasty blizzard in Indianapolis that cost me a few hours.
What You Can Do with 1.5 Days in DC
I recently advised not to underestimate the potential of a two day adventure, and I’ve got another data point to add to the set. A day and a half in Washington DC and I’ve rediscovered the US capital as a wonderful place to stop, even if it’s just for a short while.
The Three Day Road Trip (Georgia & Florida)
Today, I’d like to make one assertion- it’s possible to have a vacation that’s full, relaxing, and a complete disconnect from the daily grind using only three calendar days. I’ve gotten a bit lazy with my vacation planning and have been taking a week off at a time, but from Thursday to Saturday I enjoyed the heck out of the southeast US.
Diamond of the Midwest
I have a hot new recommendation for a vacation destination for anyone living in the Midwest US. Hear me out- Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Florida Again!?!?!
My most recent travel post was from Florida in early November. In early December, I have another Florida trip to report on. Last time, we explored the eastern coast of Florida leading up to a Caribbean cruise. This time around, we flew out early for an event in Orlando. Different circumstances, but one big commonality- the Kennedy Space Center.
Cruising 2024
Cruises are one of my favorite forms of travel for many reasons. The forced disconnect is perhaps the biggest one- to be separated from the world at large for several days, allowing me to save up ideas and return to life as usual with renewed energy and strategy. A close second is how many opportunities for competitive challenges there are on cruise ships.
