Southern Byways

 Here’s a fun quiz that was sent to me recently. It can be found on Best Trip Choices – a unique travel site that helps leisure travelers plan their perfect getaway. They claim it matches your personality to the trip you’ll enjoy the most according to “decades of scientific research.” I don’t know about the scientific research, but it takes less than 5 minutes so its perfect to fit in on a commercial break.
In addition to the quiz, this website also ranks worldwide destinations according to thousands of travelers’ rankings. Here’s a list of the top 10 US States:

Hawaii
Alaska
Florida
Nevada
Maine
Washington State

I don’t know if you do this or not, but every time I travel, I take my pillow with me. I used to carry a buckwheat pillow with me and it was really heavy, but this pillow is a breeze. It’s not heavy at all, thanks to the fact that you can empty out the water making it’s a lot easier to pack. And even better, you can fill it to the point where you are comfortable. No more sleeping on hotel pillows that give you a neck ache the next morning. Now where’s the fun in that??

Now here is a little gadget that the guys would like!! Okay, maybe I’m thinking about me too, but guys must get thirsty right?
And, I just might not complain so much on the way to Florida if I could have unlimited cold drinks all the way down. With all of those cold drinks, means multiple stops at the rest centers. Yes, I will use every trick in the book to get out of the car!!
I can’t help but wonder what gadgets will turn up in cars in the coming decades? When I was a kid, you had a radio …read more

“At 6 feet 6 inches tall, Council of Foundations magazine editor Allan R. Clyde often has to rely on fellow passengers willing to swap their exit-row or bulkhead seats to ensure a more comfortable flight.Ellen Hollender is barely 5-foot-2, but she, too, has problems with seat space. Because her feet don’t touch the floor, she has to place her briefcase or stack pillows under her feet to avoid back problems, which makes it hard for her to sit in an aisle seat. “It makes it difficult for anyone to get by me,” she said. “There just isn’t enough room.”

Tuck this luxurious DreamSack into your suitcase. It’s like bringing along your own breathable, 100% silk sheets. Blue or Olive.
And you can wash them at home and use your favorite fabric soften to scent them. Yes, that is one thing I hate about hotels. Nothing smells familar and how the room smells is really big on my list of demands.

Certainly easier than jumping on one foot. And from what I have been reading, this is great for children with regular ear infections.
Is there anything worse than an earache??

Trust me, there is nothing worse than getting lost while on vacation. So, I strongly suggest that you stock up on maps and this light might come in handy too. It plusgs right into the cigarette lighter, can be permanently mounted and the light is soft enough to show you what you need to know without blinding you!

On our last holiday, I noticed a lot of people using something like in this instead of regular luggage. Certainly would make things easier. Who likes waiting for their bags to fall onto the belt and most of the time they are bashed up as well. It would be nice to simply store it in one of those overhead bins and be done with it. And the price is definitely right.

This was originally going to be a joke, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought that it would be a brilliant way to keep the kids occupied in the back seat, until you get to the sunny south.
Okay, I just know that someone in my family is going to go straight out and get one for me. I’m the only one who hates the drive and wants to stop every five minutes to see something!
