MizPee helps you locate toilets

Sometimes things are so funny that you couldn’t possibly make it up. At the same time, this site is so blatantly useful that it’s a wonder it was invented sooner.

If you’re out and about and you need to pee, it can be a race to find access to a toilet. However, if you […]

This is like something straight out of a science fiction movie! A British designer by the name of Gail Knight has created a GPS ring to help guide travelers. The ring itself has a GPS built inside, while a device controller can be worn around your neck or clipped on a shirt.

The trailer weighs 700 pounds (!) and can be pulled behind most small cars. When you arrive at your campground, the tent pops right up and is […]

More traveling rants than you can shake a stick at!

Our wonderful travel blog community has rallied together to tell the world about the things that just tick us off. Being positive is a wonderful thing, and I am nothing if not an eternal optimist, but every so often it’s good to just get something off your chest.

Travel disappointment

You know, I look at a lot of different sites, checking out neat travel gadgets or online widgets, all things to make travel better, faster, more fun, more comfortable, cheaper, etc. But I’m getting a little ticked off, because honestly, how many different GPS units do you really need?

Bring a little travel to your desk

If you dream of travel but can’t afford it just yet, maybe you can appease your wanderlust with a location-themed mouse. This website sells a mouse for all occasions, but two in particular are designed with Hawaii in mind. You can get a Hawaiian girl or Hawaiian boy themed mouse to remind […]

Travel inspired by movies

Over on Travel Gear & Gadgets Blog, I noticed an entry that discussed movies that inspire travel. I started thinking about it and actually, yes, there are several movies I’ve seen that make me add the location to my mental list of “places I must see before I die”.

Flying the friendly (and tech-y) skies

New domestic airline, Virgin America, is setting their sights on offering tech-friendly skies for their customers, and if it’s all as good as it sounds, they may be getting an awful lot of loyal travelers on their flights.
