CarryCool… Perfect For the Car

Ice packs are convenient when you are at home. They stay in your freezer until you need them, but who wants to take them on vacation with you? That’s where this bag comes in handy. It can stay in your luggage until needed and then plugged into your car’s lighter when you need to keep […]

Sweet Dreams and Gorgeous Hair

It`s Saturday and that means it`s shopping day. From experience, it`s a lot easier to pick up what you need before you go on vacation than to rush out and pick up those items once you arrive.

Farouk CHI Turbo Big 2 Inch Ceramic Flat Iron

This might seem like an odd post for a blog about travel, but trust me… you need to know this. I only wish that someone had told me before I went to Florida for the first time. My hair looks fine when I first arrive, but suddenly all the curl that I was born with […]

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 […]

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!

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 […]
