🛫 Travel, Points & Miles
🇮🇸 Iceland 2025 Trip: Last Few Slots!
Our Iceland trip last year was such a great hit (it's one of the best trips Amy and I have ever taken) that we decided to add in 2 more trips in the Fall of 2025. While our 9/12 trip is sold out, we still have a few spots left for the 9/28 trip. Everything you need to know about the trip is here.

🏷️ 4-Pack Apple AirTags for $69.99
AirTags are at the lowest price I've ever seen, with a 4-pack for $69.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. They're so useful for many things, but my favorite use cases are tracking checked bags when traveling and putting them in these bracelets for the kids when we're in busy or crowded places.
🕵️ Great Finds
📱U.S. Mobile New Unlimited Premium Plan
U.S. Mobile just launched the Unlimited Premium plan, which includes unlimited high-priority data, full-speed HD streaming, mobile hotspot, 10GB of international data and more. Plus, their new Multi-Network Functionality lets you add another network free until 3/31 ($15 after). If you end up singing up and want to support me, my referral link is here!
🕵🏾♂️ Show Recommendation: Paradise
I'm a sucker for shows set in a dystopian future and didn't have any context going into this show, so some of the surprises from the first episode were awesome. The high level premise is a Secret Service agent investigating the murder of a former president, but I'd suggest checking out episode one without any more context. It's on Hulu.
