How To Preserve Your Family’s Legacy Stories (Like a Pro!)

Genealogy is quite popular right now. Here in the United States, a huge melting pot, people want to know where they came from. And luckily it’s a pretty simple process. With genealogy, you carry part of your history in your DNA, so it’s always with you.

Family trees are another way people like to track their information. Many people enjoy creating detailed family trees to trace the names and locations of their ancestors. This information can be traced through public records.

However, what about the story of WHY your ancestors came to be living in the United States. Not HOW. Not WHEN. Not WHERE they came from. But WHY was the decision made? Some people may be lucky to have that recorded somewhere, but for the most part, family legacy stories have no long term storage option, other than occasionally being repeated at Sunday dinners.

Traveling Through Cuba as an American: Do's and Don't

Like many Americans, I have been fascinated with Cuba for years. The music, the food, the culture, the forbidden-ness of it all—I was intrigued. So when travel restrictions were loosened in 2016, I knew it was time to go visit. I got online and started researching “traveling in Cuba”, and sure enough, I found very little info. Europeans, Canadians, really citizens from everywhere else in the world have been freely traveling there for years, but apparently documenting their travels was not high on the list of priorities, at least not in blog form.

Bad MacBook Air Hard Drive? Fix it Yourself!

MacBook Air Laptops Have Faulty Hard Drives

Obviously Apple doesn't want to share that with you, but as I was researching how to fix an Early 2014 MacBook Air, I came across quite a few people with the exact same issue---the hard drive crapped out on them. The issue with the particular computer I was working on involved the hard drive not being recognized during start-up. You had to restart it about 12 times before the system would recognize the hard drive and actually start up. It was frustrating to say the least.
