A few weeks ago, I hopped over to the Out Islands to cover the grand reopening of the Bimini Big Game Club.

I’m on a seemingly never-ending search to find the perfect travel tote. Something that can hold my 15” laptop (but doesn’t look laptop bag-ish), that’s lightweight (because my daily essentials weigh about five pounds on their own), and that looks stylish (because I wouldn’t be caught dead with a generic black bag)....

When you travel as much as the CT+L editors do, you quickly pick up tips and tricks to get you out the door and on the plane with as little hassle as possible. One I've learned: always keeping a bag of toiletries and travel essentials packed and ready to go.

It's tough to know what to give the traveler who has everything, but Google has a pretty solid idea: Thanks to the web giant, holiday travelers can enjoy free Wi-Fi at 47 airports around the country through January 15, 2010 – no strings attached. Even better, when you sign on you'll have the chance to pay it forward by donating to a handful of charities like Engineers Without Borders or the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, and Google will match nationwide donations up to $250,000....
