131. A crazy travel story

Published: July 6, 2021, 7 a.m.

Some of you may recall the podcast episode that we did last year during lockdown about some of our craziest travel stories. Well, we're coming back at you with another round of that, sharing another crazy vacation story!

This one happened on our recent trip to Kansas. We usually have good success booking hotels at the last-minute online. But well, things didn't go so well this time. In fact, for the first time ever, we checked out of the hotel after only staying for one day.\xa0

I think this was one of those cases where if it seems too good to be true, it might be! :) Although, I'm pretty sure that the window getting busted in in the middle of our stay might be one of those one-in-a-million sort of situations.

Listen in for all the details + an update on books we are listening to, some tips from our listeners, a Jui Jitsu update, tofu, a new hack for GMail, something I just learned about Hoopla, and more!
