If you're planning to check luggage in addition to bringing along a carry-on and don't already own Apple AirTags, now's a good time to make the investment.
Apple AirTags help keep track of checked luggage and find any lost items. All you need to do is attach them to your checked items and you'll be able to see these items in the Find My app. Each set includes four individual AirTags — enough for your own checked luggage or to help track the checked luggage of family members. And in the event you're asked to check your carry-on because there isn't enough overhead compartment space, you can enjoy peace of mind in knowing where your carry-on is by adding an AirTag to it.

Jennifer Lopez Says She's ‘Not Looking for No Man' to ‘Ruin' Happiness After Ben Affleck Divorce
Jennifer Lopez knows that 'love don't cost a thing,' but that doesn't mean she's searching for it right now. 'I [told Tiffany Haddish], 'Girl, I'm not looking for no man,'' Lopez, 55, quipped to Access Hollywood of her interactions with the comedian, 45, who wanted to search for a partner during the 2025 American Music Awards on Monday, May 26. 'I'm happy right now. I'm not trying to ruin it, OK?' Lopez, who hosted the AMAs and also kissed dancers during her performance, subsequently blew a kiss to the camera before strutting down the red carpet. The pop star shared footage of the interview via Instagram on Thursday, May 29, reiterating her single status. Jennifer Lopez Is Taking Time to 'Be Single and Find Herself Again' After Ben Affleck Divorce 'In the words of the great Céline Dion, 'I do it for mah-self' 🥰😘,' Lopez captioned her upload. Lopez has been single since she finalized her divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck earlier this year. (Lopez and Affleck, 52, were married for two years, initially rekindling their 2000s-era romance in 2021.) 'I think my whole life I've just been trying to say I'm good enough, until where I am now, when I know. I'm giving myself credit. I'm telling that little girl that grew up in the Bronx, 'You've done really good for yourself.' I didn't do that for so many years,' Lopez said in an Interview profile published in October 2024, making her first public comments on the separation. 'And now I think, with everything that's happened in my life and in my relationships and even in my career, it's like, give yourself a bit of comfort and love. We've been through a lot of things that nobody knows about, and you've persevered and you refuse to give up and to let it get you down.' She added, 'There's something to be said for that because things can really change your life in a way that you do want to give up and say, 'F*** this, this is too hard, I don't want to do this anymore.' But I'm not there. I refuse to not give myself everything that little girl deserves.' Tiffany Haddish Jokes About Jennifer Lopez Being 'Single' and Kissing Dancers After 2025 AMAs Opening Lopez further noted at the time that it felt like her 'whole f***ing world exploded' when she and Affleck broke up. 'Sometimes, it's going to work out great. And sometimes it won't. And that's f***ing OK, too,' she said. 'I was thinking about this time in my life, and I'm like, 'That's not what I thought it was going to turn out like.' And then I thought, 'No, this is exactly where I needed to be, to lead me to where I want to go.'' Since her divorce, Lopez has focused on her career and raising 17-year-old twins Max and Emme. (Lopez shares her children with ex-husband Marc Anthony.) 'J. Lo is starting to feel like herself again,' a source exclusively told Us Weekly in February. 'She's making sure she is happy and that she's being a good mom.'

Local organization fundraising for ‘Safe Place Parking' lot
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV)- A unique service for people going through difficult times in the Green Bay area needs community support to continue. Five years ago, a local organization called 'Wise Women Gathering Place' first opened up a parking lot on Green Bay's west side for those in need to have a safe place to stay the night in their vehicles. It's called the 'Safe Place Parking' program. 'It creates a sense of space, where they belong have a sense of safety, have some peace of mind where they can sleep and not worry about being shooed off of residential streets or local businesses,' said 'Wise Women Gathering Place' executive director Beverly Scow. 'Nothing is urgent enough to destroy their life': Sheriff in Wisconsin catches driver going 105 mph in a 55 zone The parking lot costs about $12,000 per year to operate. Those costs include insurance, staffing, and some of the services they provide at the parking lot like electricity and WiFi. Right now, Scow said that they have money to operate the parking lot through the end of this month. They are currently fundraising with a goal to raise $50,000 so that they can cover costs for the rest of the year. 'It's a great program that is really meeting a need and making a difference in people's lives where they can feel safe,' said Scow. Organization officials tell us that they usually have between 30 to 45 vehicles in the parking lot each night during the warmer months. They get more guests this time of year because some of the local shelters close for the season. Ho-Chunk Nation launches 'Dugout Canoe' Journey with four day travel across Wisconsin Local 5 News spoke with a woman who utilizes the parking lot who said the service has been a lifeline for her and her kids. 'The most important thing is that this place provides a safe place for people to be who are in bad situations at the time like me,' she told Local 5 News. 'I don't know what I would have done without this place, it literally saved me and my children from having nowhere to go.'
