One thing I can't travel without...

Phone.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I used to get randomly selected all the time for enhanced screening at security more often before getting TSA PreCheck.

  2. I spent 5 days in Amsterdam without stepping into a single museum (No Van Gogh).

  3. My favorite hotel brand is Marriott.
