Hotels in Maui are famously expensive — especially if you travel during the most popular times for tourists, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, or spring break. Those looking for a cheap stay on the island may find the lowest prices out near the airport. If you want something away from the airport, though, you may be drawn to the Maui Coast Hotel — one of the island’s cheapest hotels near a beach. What does this hotel in Kihei have to offer?

While airline credit cards may offer interesting perks and benefits, but for most travelers, they may not be the best choice. Over the years, I’ve applied for several airline cards myself. However, I’ve come to realize that a general travel rewards card that earns credit card points may be more valuable. In the long run, the versatility of these rewards credit cards offer tends to outweigh the benefits tied to a single airline.

When I first got my Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card, I used it as a daily rewards driver. Earning 6 points per $1 at U.S. restaurants, U.S. supermarkets, and U.S. gas stations made this card quite lucrative for some of my most frequent expenses. Since I opened the card, I’ve largely shifted my spending to other cards that earn more flexible travel rewards.

For the food lover, a visit to any city is an invitation to eat—and eat, and eat. What makes cities such incredible dining destinations is that they are, by nature, dense: with people, with culture, with history, and with food. City life is often disconnected from agriculture, which might suggest worse food, but in reality, it often means better. Urban dwellers need quick lunches, comforting dinners, and everything in between.

What if you could cancel out your carbon footprint when traveling? According to airlines, you can. While they work on creating more sustainable fuel and reaching net zero emissions, air carriers are offloading the burden and moral responsibility of making up for carbon emissions to passengers. Many airlines allow passengers to buy carbon offsets, where you pay a few dollars and breathe a sigh of relief because now you’re “canceling out” the emissions from your flight.

The World of Hyatt program is one of the darlings of the points and miles community thanks to its reasonable award chart, ability to transfer points in from Chase Ultimate Rewards, and the valuable perks you receive from Hyatt Globalist status. I should know, as I spent 5 years as a Hyatt Globalist and enjoyed generally good experiences during my stays with Hyatt. Despite that, I decided not to requalify for Hyatt Globalist status last year.

I can’t remember a world where I didn’t depend on my phone when traveling. While a big part of me wishes I could chuck my phone in the ocean and be more present when I travel, I recognize that I depend on certain apps to make my travel easier, more organized, and more streamlined.
