Texas Wine

Yes, you read that correctly! If you’re like me, you’d be surprised to learn that Texas produces really good wine. Sure, many states and places surprisingly produce wine but in Fredericksburg, Texas, the wine is mighty fine. OK, enough with the kitsch.

Don’t Be Blindsided By Baggage Fees

There have been so many changes to baggage rules in recent years, especially regarding the carry-on bag. These rules are determined by airline, size, weight and airfares.
