The Sunday Round-Up | April 25, 2021


Happy Sunday! Tonight's the Oscars and my wife is excited. It's tradition -- we're ordering takeout (I still have my monthly $15 Uber credit from this credit card so I'm applying it to Uber Eats), and watching from our couch. I don't really watch the whole show (just the CliffsNotes version) but this year, I'm interested in seeing them since they're taking place in an active train station, Union Station in Los Angeles. Should be interesting, eh?

Avoid This Airport During These Times
There are runway closures at this major US airport that will cause some delays for the next several months so it's best to avoid it if possible, during these times. Here's the story.

UPDATE: My Favorite Wipes To Travel With
Last week, I mentioned that I'd found my favorite wipes to travel with on Amazon and they're cheap. You can get 6 boxes that each have 24 wipes inside. That's enough for a year. You can buy them here. UPDATE: A reader pointed out to me that these wipes are best for cleaning your hands but to wipe down surfaces on an airplane or in a hotel room, use something like these Clorox wipes, which come in a travel-friendly package.

Now, on to the Sunday Round-Up, which is chock full of travel tips and travel news. Scroll all the way down to find all the stories!
