I’m taking a trip with my dad next week from Northern NJ to Manitowoc, WI to pickup some construction equipment and a trailer. We’re driving straight there and will stop in the Cleveland suburbs on the way back. Does anyone know of good stops along the way for food or points of...

A few weeks ago I posted here asking for help choosing between Philly, Vegas, Orlando, and Chicago for my first trip to the US. Thanks to your advice, I went with Chicago and wow, what a city! I landed yesterday and spent today at the Shedd Aquarium and the Art...

Scrolling through travel feeds, and boom - this on a downturn in international travel to the U.S. may last beyond summer, experts warn. It really caught my eye because I was just driving that Toronto-New York highway last month and saw that huge 'Buffalo Loves Canada' billboard...

Just had my flight out of Houston cancelled and the airport was pure chaos. Over 350 flights got nixed today across the US, with United, American, Air Canada, Southwest, and SkyWest all hit hard. From what I’ve seen, major airports like LAX, DFW, Chicago, Phoenix, and even...

As a frequent traveler between the U.K., U.S., and Canada, the latest U.K. travel advisory caught my eye. It’s not about danger, but about entry rules strict ones. For the U.S., British citizens under the Visa Waiver Program still need ESTA approval, and border officials can...

Just when you thought planning a U.S. trip was tough enough, there's now this new $250 visa “integrity fee” and the kicker is, it might be refundable, but nobody knows how. Even if you're not overstaying or violating terms, that’s a big upfront cost to manage. If you’re from a...

Colorado’s once-booming tourism economy is starting to plateau. According to a new report, traveler spending rose just 0.3% in 2024 far below the national average of 4.2%. While day trips are up, hotel stays and short-term rentals like Airbnbs are seeing dips, especially in...

The U.S. State Department has updated its travel advisory for Cambodia, raising it to Level 2“exercise increased caution” due to escalating risks involving crime, landmines, and regional unrest. Travelers are especially warned against visiting areas within 50 kilometers of the...

Wow nearly 32% fewer Canadians traveled to the U.S. this May compared to last year. That’s not a dip, that’s a nose-dive. Between the trade tension mess and a general sense of "meh" toward cross-border trips, it seems more Canadians are either staying home or heading across the...

Not shocked at all to read this. Just about everyone I know is dialing it way down this summer. People who used to hop on a plane without thinking are now doing weekend road trips or just hanging out at local pools. Even the idea of a daycation is catching on in my circles. Its...
