Just in time for the crazy holiday travel season, Netflix has announced that they will be allowing offline streaming of their movies and shows. What does this mean? All you have to do is upgrade the Netflix app on your phone or tablet, and when you select certain movies or shows you will have the…
Last month I went to India, which requires 30 hours of travel time from Texas. The part of the country where I was staying is not too far from the coast, and relatively humid. You can imagine my surprise, then, when on third day there, in the middle of the office, my nose started bleeding…
If you’ve been a frequent traveler for a while, you’ve probably heard of Skyroll. They make luggage designed for people who travel with suits or other clothing that needs to be hung.

If someone accidentally whacks you in the head, or knee, or arm with their carry-on, should you say something?
