So what do you do if you sick while on vacation??

At the moment, I am working my way through the worst cold imaginable. I started feeling just a wee bit lousy last Friday, and each day has been getting worse and worse. Last night I found myself creeping down to the kitchen for another cup of ——- because I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t breath. […]

It Takes a LOT of Planning

I always seem to arrive on holiday and only then realize that I really should have picked up something before I left. So, with that in mind, I thought that I would post a few things that you just might want to consider.

The Lilac Pajama Set

While on holiday, there should be lots of time to simply relax and that often means… not having to get dressed. Yes, I’m one of those people who loves to simply lounge and do nothing while on holiday and if I can simply lounge out by the pool with a good […]

Wenger Swiss Army Soho Utility Sport and Outdour Backpack

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 […]

Lush Solid Shampoo

I know that this might seem like an odd thing to find in a travel blog, but believe it or not, a solid shampoo is a lot easier to take along with you than the liquid variety. And you know Lush… their products are first class. Not only does it clean all that […]

Easy To Spot Handle Wraps

There is nothing more maddening that waiting for your luggage and then to find that everyone has luggage that looks just like yours. That’s why I chose to feature these wraps. You will be out of the airport a whole lot quicker and on with your vacation. It’s not as if hanging around airports is […]

What’s In Your Travel Pack

I found this list at Fodors and it is a good one. There is about a zillion things on this list, which makes it easy for you to scan and pick what you need. No, you won’t need everyone of the zillion. Anyway, my husband wouldn’t let me take that much anyway.

Car Travel Help for Kids

I’m hoping that kids traveling in a car are a lot more patient that I was during our trip to Florida, but just in case they aren’t, this little kit looks like it could keep them occupied!!
Now I wonder why a company isn’t coming up with something like this for us… big kids?? What would […]

Stebco Ballistic Catalog/Computer Case on Wheels

Is there anyone alive who can simply leave the computer at home when they go on vacation? I know that I can’t, but it is a major pain in the butt to have to carry it. The old case over the shoulder can be incredibly heavy, but this idea has some merit. You simply drag […]
