Today’s Travel Gadget

I can remember when taking a camcorder was a major pain because of their size and weight. Luckily that isn’t the case anymore. We got into the habit of leaving the camera at home a few decades ago. Don’t have to anymore! Can’t beat sitting home and bringing all of those travel […]

Protecting Your Kids From the Sun

Lets face it… the last thing kids think about is whether or not they are protected from the sun. And all of those unprotected minutes all add up. This looks like an easy way to do it and I have a feeling that the kids will love coming up with new ways to use it!!

Travel “Gadgets” that I Just Love!!

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 […]

The Ultimate Makeup Mirror

This has to be one of the “must haves” when it comes to traveling. And it’s not just for women either. I have one of those magnifying mirrors that pulls away from the wall so that you can position it just to your liking and it was supposed to be for me! Well, from […]

Map Light

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 […]

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 […]

Canon Powershot

Do you know that I actually left the camera sitting on the kitchen table the last time we went on vacation. It might be better to have one small enough that you can toss it into the handbag. You just never know when you are going to catch that perfect sunset… and you don’t have […]

Translators (Travel Gadgets)

This could definitely make traveling a lot easier… like the time I was in Martinique and had to struggle with high school French. But I guess that’s half the fun of travelling.
I’m sure that I’m well remembered on that island!

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 […]
