  • How to Save Money on Flights When Travel Prices Are High

    Gas prices are up, airfare is following, and it’s tempting to just stay home. I’m not ready to do that, and you don’t have to be either. I’ve picked up a few tricks over the years that have saved me real money, and I’ve used each of them more than once. In this post, I break down five of them, from letting Google Flights pick your next destination to flying into alternative airports and catching a train the rest of the way. I’ll share a real example from our upcoming December trip to Boston, where flying Breeze into Providence and home from New Haven costs less than half the price of a direct flight. I’ll also walk through Avelo’s routes out of Wilmington and the bigger trips you can build from each one. What’s your go-to trick for saving on travel? Let me know. I’m always looking to add to my list.

    The 5 Best MLB Parks for a Weekend Getaway (And the Cities That Make Them Worth It)

    I love travel and I love baseball, and when those two things combine it makes for one of my favorite kinds of weekends. I have been to every city that hosts an MLB team and caught a game in over half of them. Not every great city has a great park, and not every great park sits in a city worth building a weekend around. This list is where both come together. From the iconic ivy walls of Wrigley Field in Chicago to the unmatched skyline views at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, these five ballparks earned their spots based on the full experience, the stadium, the neighborhood, and the city itself. Whether you are a die-hard baseball fan or just looking for a great excuse to explore somewhere new, these are the MLB parks worth planning a weekend around.
