I packed for a flight… and drove home instead ✈️

Hey , Look, I get it. Travel in the U.S. is chaos right now. Flights are getting canceled. TSA lines seem out of control. And with the partial government shutdown, you might not even be considering a flight anytime soon. Honestly? I wouldn’t blame you. But I still wanted to tell you about something I tested recently, especially since it’s on sale right now. I recently reviewed the Level8 Carry-On, and my recent trip ended up being the perfect real-life test. I originally flew to New Orleans and planned to fly home to Orlando. Then the weather hit. Flights started getting canceled, the airport turned into chaos, and instead of waiting it out, I decided to rent a car and drive home. (let me tell you I was lucky to get a car!) So that carry-on I packed for a flight? It had to work for a road trip too. Here’s what stood out:
👉 You can see current options here and save 10% with code Tonya10. And if you prefer Amazon, there’s also a sale happening right now: 👉 Check the current price on Amazon. It’s currently 20% off from March 25 to March 31. If you want to see photos and the full breakdown of the bag, I shared everything in my review. Hopefully travel starts feeling a little less chaotic soon. But whenever your next trip happens, having gear that works for both flights and road trips is a win. Talk soon, Tonya

Hey Reader, Last week I asked what stresses you out the most when planning a trip… And almost every single answer said the same thing: Flights. Honestly? I’m not surprised. Flights feel like this moving target where prices change constantly, nothing makes sense, and you’re just hoping you didn’t book at the wrong time. Look, I get it. I’ve been planning family travel for years, and flights are still the one piece that can make you second guess everything. So I wanted to walk you through...
Hey Reader, After years of camping and RV travel, I’ve noticed something. Most families don’t avoid RV trips because they don’t like the idea. They avoid them because they assume it’s complicated. So let’s make this simple. Here’s when renting an RV actually makes practical sense. If you’re visiting multiple national parks on one trip.Hotel hopping every night gets old fast. An RV lets you stay inside the park or close to it without constantly packing and unpacking. If you’re traveling with...
Hi Reader, I recently published something over on my other site that I think you’ll really appreciate. With America’s 250th birthday coming up in 2026 (and Route 66 turning 100!), I put together a guide to planning a once-in-a-generation road trip across the U.S. Even if you don’t normally follow that site, this one felt too good not to share here. There’s something special about seeing the country by road. Historic cities. Small towns. National parks. The kind of places that make you slow...
