As many of you know, I’ve been planning a trip to Japan for three years now. For obvious reasons, it kept getting canceled. But for the first time in a long time, I feel like I have a pretty good shot at finally taking my family there six months from...

We’ve debated the ethics of seat swapping and the protocol for making requests, but an airplane seating story out of England that left a six-year-old boy crying really makes me shake my head.

I plan (hope!) to buy tickets to Taylor Swift’s 2023 tour, The Eras Tour, next week for a Christmas present. As I mentioned last week, I hope to get these tickets during the Capital One pre-sale. Since the tour dates were announced, I’ve read some pretty crazy stories about people...
