Flight Attendants and Frequent Fliers Alike Love This ‘Perfect' Travel Organizer—and It's Only $10 at Amazon
The top-selling tech organizer on Amazon is the most obvious choice, with over 30,000 ratings, including from the most practiced packing experts—flight attendants. We read through their reviews to find out why, astonishingly, one of these sells every three minutes.
The FYY travel cable organizer pouch is 'the exact solution to the tangle of wire, chargers, reserve batteries, camera cards, etc.,' one reviewer wrote. The smallest size—7.5 by 4 inches—has eight pockets across two main zipper compartments. The pockets vary in size, some being small enough for a little flash drive and others large enough to fit the beefiest of portable chargers.
For one flight attendant, it's the 'perfect system' that not only keeps items together and organized, but it also ensures some of the most fragile and valuable things you travel with stay safe from spills and jostling thanks to the padded, waterproof shell. There's a medium size (about eight by five inches and 2.5 inches deep) and a large size (9.5 by six by three) for travelers with more gear to tote. And, this organizer comes in a whopping 23 colors, so you can personalize it to match the rest of your travel gear.
Reviewers credit the $10 case for bringing organization into their lives, both on the road and at home. For instance, one parent of a flight attendant bought it for their daughter because it can hold 'a little of everything,' like chargers, Band-Aids, medicine, and jewelry. Plenty of people say they use theirs every day, including one reviewer who lives in a tiny home and wrote that 'the constant tangle of cords and Bluetooth devices and external batteries was maddening,' but this 'perfect little organizer' provided an easy solution. 'We can stuff two people's worth of tiny tech and cords in here, zip it, and hang it on the hook near our keys, and the mess is no longer.'

These New Jersey River Towns Are Full of Americana Charm—and They're Just 1.5 Hours From NYC
The Delaware River towns—including Lambertville, Frenchtown, and Stockton—are easily accessible from both New York City and Philadelphia (about 1.5 hours by car), making them a convenient weekend or day trip destination. Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities like walking, biking, and kayaking along the D&R Canal towpath. The region hosts unique events, including Milford's bed races Lambertville's Shad Festival. From historic inns to countryside retreats, the area offers a range of cozy places to stay, including The National Hotel in Frenchtown and Woolverton Inn in Stockton. The river towns offer a wide variety of dining options with a focus on local ingredients and seasonal menus; don't miss the inventive farm-driven dishes at FinnBar in Frenchtown. The drive north along the Delaware River from Lambertville to Riegelsville is just over an hour. This idyllic stretch of western New Jersey is dotted with postcard-pretty towns that blend Americana charm with elevated local eats, funky cultural gems, and a refreshing lack of pretension. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills, bucolic farms, and a winding river that seems to slow time, the region invites you to breathe a little deeper. Each town along the way—Lambertville, Stockton, Frenchtown, and Milford—has its own personality, from Lambertville's art-forward sophistication to Milford's low-key magic. But they all share a certain alchemy: a deep sense of history, an easy relationship with nature, and a thriving creative spirit that feels both timeless and very now. I've been lucky enough to call Frenchtown home for the last five years, and I'm still discovering new gems tucked into these river towns. Whether it's a new farm stand, a hidden hiking trail, or a pop-up jazz show, the region is endlessly surprising—and impossible not to fall in love with. And while it's just a short drive from both New York City and Philadelphia, it feels like a world away. A fiction bookshelf in Frenchtown Bookshop. 'The towns that have formed along the Delaware carry with them a quaint sense of history, with Victorian architecture and bountiful nature blended with modern shops, restaurants, and bars,' says Carolyn Gadbois, owner of Union Coffee in Lambertville, which is known for its quality brew, excellent vegan brownies, and buzzy community events. 'There's plenty to do and much to see, but in a way that feels like you're escaping reality to a simpler, more beautiful time.' Start your trip in Lambertville, where antique shops—The People's Store houses more than 50 European, American, and Asian antiques dealers—and art galleries line the blocks and the canal-side towpath is made for strolling or biking. The town comes alive in the spring and fall—Gadbois recommends April for the Shad Fest or October for Halloween when "the houses and businesses go all out with decorations." In Stockton, explore Stockton Market, filled with wood-fired pizza, local cheeses, and a very good chicken salad curry sandwich. Don't miss Odd Bird Brewing, tucked inside a former gas station—it's a quirky local favorite. The D&R Canal towpath, which stretches more than 70 miles from Frenchtown to New Brunswick along the Delaware River, is ideal for a scenic walk or ride. Take a guided kayak or bike tour—you might even spot a bald eagle overhead. Or, strike out on your own, like Scott Sheldon, co-owner of the Frenchtown Bookshop. 'We load up our bikes, park in Frenchtown, and ride to Lambertville for lunch on the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park trail,' he says. The bookstore, which Sheldon and his wife opened after relocating to the area, is now a cultural cornerstone. Curl up with a new read in the charming backyard or catch one of the many author events. 'Like many residents of northern New Jersey and New York City, we discovered the river towns as a recreation destination,' he explains. When it came time to retire, the couple considered a long list of places, from the Berkshires to Martha's Vineyard. 'The river towns came out on top because of their natural beauty, easy access to culture, and friendly and literate residents.' Frenchtown continues to evolve while keeping its creative, offbeat spirit. ArtYard, a contemporary arts center with an ever-surprising lineup of exhibits and events, anchors the town's cultural scene. Shops like Modern Love, a beautifully curated boutique, add to its charm. Don't miss Gather, a flower studio and gift shop with dreamy arrangements and locally made treasures. According to Sheldon, most visitors are here to unplug and explore. 'Their ideal visit often includes spending time in nature, whether hammering the 'musical' rocks at Ringing Rocks Park, rafting on the Delaware, strolling the boutiquey downtowns, or dining at the area's easygoing farm-to-table restaurants,' he says. He also recommends becoming an 'agrotourist' for the day. The 579 Trail winds through dozens of small farms, stands, and wineries. Local favorites include Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse for farmstead cheeses (my kids love visiting the cows and watching the cheesemakers at work), Pie Bird Farm for just-baked treats and colorful bouquets, and Phillips Farms in Milford for seasonal fruit and flower picking. Many of these spots also host farm dinners, cider tastings, and pick-your-own flower nights throughout the summer—check local calendars for events that might coincide with your trip. Bird's eye view of dishes from FiNNBAR. This vibrant BYOB spot serves Peruvian and Mexican cuisine in a cozy, colorful setting. The ceviche is a standout, and the lomo saltado is beloved by locals. With a lush outdoor patio and warm service, El Tule offers bold flavors and a taste of tradition. Set in a historic 1870s inn, Anton's offers an ever-changing seasonal menu with an emphasis on local ingredients and refined comfort food. The romantic ambience, wood-paneled bar, and white tablecloth service make it a go-to for special occasions and elegant dinners. Helmed by former Chez Panisse chef Cal Peternell, FinnBar brings creative, farm-driven cuisine to a sleekly restored inn. Expect unfussy but inspired dishes, a strong cocktail game, and occasional DJ nights. Bonus: A portion of profits supports Studio Route 29, a progressive local art studio. Overlooking the Delaware River and housed in an 1838 building, Riegelsville Inn serves hearty American fare in a cozy tavern setting. Top-notch live music, weekend brunch, and a deck with river views make it a perfect stop after walking the dramatic 1904 Riegelsville suspension bridge. This intimate, chef-run cafe from the cookbook authors behind the beloved "Canal House" series has refined yet rustic menus that change daily, but you can always expect impeccable ingredients, precise technique, and timeless flavor. Come for the beloved Sunday dinner and dig into foaming lemon butter asparagus and rhubarb and strawberry short cake. This stretch of the Delaware leans into its local flavor with delightfully quirky events. Milford hosts bed races down its main drag on Milford Day, Frenchtown welcomes Santa by canoe (bagpiper and Vikings included), and Lambertville's Shad Fest celebrates its namesake fish with music and street food. The New Hope/Lambertville Pride parade is the only one in the country to cross state lines. Exterior of Lambertville Station Inn. A restored 1850s landmark, The National Hotel blends history with hospitality. The upstairs rooms are cozy and quiet, while downstairs you'll find a lively bar with frequent live music, creative cocktails, and plenty of local flavor. It's the heart of Frenchtown's nightlife and a favorite for visitors who want to stay right in the action. Set in a converted 19th-century train station on the river, this boutique inn offers modern comforts with a dose of history. Many rooms feature river views, and the adjacent restaurant is perfect for a post-check-in meal. The location is ideal for exploring both Lambertville and neighboring New Hope on foot. Lambertville House is a historic hotel with updated, elegant rooms, some with fireplaces or spa tubs. Located in the center of town, it's steps away from shopping, dining, and the canal path. The cozy bar is a hidden gem, especially in the cooler months. A romantic countryside retreat on 10 acres of farmland, Woolverton Inn is perfect for those wanting to unwind. Guests rave about the serenity, beautifully appointed rooms (some with whirlpool tubs or fireplaces), and the indulgent three-course breakfasts served daily. It's a favorite for anniversaries and peaceful getaways. Aerial view of West Milford, New Jersey. This region is a convenient escape for city dwellers—less than two hours by car from Philadelphia and New York City. The nearest major airports are Newark Liberty International (EWR) and Philadelphia International. Amtrak stops in nearby Trenton, and from there it's a scenic drive through rolling countryside to the river towns. You can easily park and walk in towns like Lambertville, New Hope, and Frenchtown. For broader exploration—say, a trip up to Milford or down to Stockton—a car is helpful. Biking is a favorite local activity thanks to the D&R Canal towpath. 'Talk to strangers, watch the ducks, sit by the river, cross the bridge by foot,' says Gadbois. 'Breathe and enjoy a little bit of quiet in a creatively vibrant, socially inclusive and beautiful place to live.'

Husband Says Wife Refuses to Go on a Family Vacation Together. Now He Wants to Plan a Solo Trip
A husband who has repeatedly asked for a family vacation says his wife is shutting him down — so he's thinking of going alone In a post on Reddit, he writes, "For the last two years, I've been trying to plan a family vacation — and every time, I've been shut down" Now, the man writes that he's thinking of telling his wife he's going on vacation, with or without herA husband and father says his wife keeps shutting down his plans for a family vacation — and now he wants to know if he would be in the wrong for traveling solo. In a post on Reddit, he writes, "For the last two years, I've been trying to plan a family vacation — and every time, I've been shut down." "Now, I'm thinking of giving my wife an ultimatum: either she takes time off to go on vacation with me and our son, or I'm going to go somewhere by myself for a week," he adds. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. He adds in the post that, for the last two years, he has served as the "primary parent" for the couple's 4-year-old son, "handling daycare drop-offs and pick-ups, getting our son ready in the morning, and bedtime about 90% of the time." "I've also been the main income earner (income split around 60/40 or 70/30). As a result of that and general life pressures I've burned out," he adds. "What I really want is something to look forward to — a chance to reset personally and as a family. But every time I try to plan something, my wife says no." The man adds that two years ago, he told his wife he was struggling and asked for a vacation, but "she said it didn't work for her." "Last year, I went on mental health leave/reduced hours for two months," he writes. "I asked again — she said we needed to wait to see if I'd keep my job. Once I had confirmation, I brought it up again in August. Her response: she was too busy. She said there was no time for her to take vacation during the last five months of the year." He continues: "Fast forward to now: I lost that job earlier this year but recently secured a new one that starts in the fall. This summer is my only real chance to take time off before starting, since I won't have vacation days again until next year. When I brought this up, she said she couldn't take time off because others at work already were." Now, the man writes that he's thinking of telling his wife he's going on vacation, with or without her. "At this point, I'm thinking of telling her I'm going on vacation this summer, and if she won't come, I'll go alone — and she'll need to handle parenting solo for a week," he adds. "Ideally, I'd rather go with my son, but I feel like if I do, she'll never feel pressure to join and this will become the norm. I'm hoping she'll realize how much she's opted out of parenting and family planning." Other Reddit users are chiming in on the situation, with some saying the woman's refusal to take trips together seems "suspicious." "If he has to manipulate her into a family vacation the marriage is over. He should also hire a PI," writes one commenter. Adds another: "Do not beg or issue an ultimatum. Simply book your trip and go. On your way out let her know when you'll be back. She might get mad because she's not in control but so what." Read the original article on People

Want a little danger in your travel? That could be a good thing.
Blinding snow whipped into a blizzard at 10,000 feet above sea level in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah as I followed the faint boot trail up a ridge on a quest for fresh powder. Skis were cinched to my back. I was miles from the nearest resort. Despite the cold, the wind and the fact that a fall off a mountain would not end well, I could not have been happier.
