Controversial x-ray machine

Everyone loves gadgets that make travel easier, faster, or more enjoyable. However, here’s one gadget coming to JFK airport that might not make everyone smile in delight.
The new CBS 2 HD x-ray scanner is so thorough that it essentially does what Superman and other similar superheroes (and super villains) used to do in comic […]

Spooky vacations

What with Halloween being just around the corner (my favorite holiday of the year!), I thought it would be very apropos to provide you with some websites that will help you fulfill your love of all things spooky for your next getaway.

Swim with your favorite songs

I don’t know about anyone else, but when I think about vacations, swimming is almost always a factor, whether it’s in the ocean (yes PLEASE) or a pool (good enough for me!). If you’re at a resort, there will likely already be music playing at the pool, courtesy of your hotel’s DJ - I […]

Pee in the car!

By mid-November, you can pick yourself up a little gear to make long road trips a little easier if you don’t mind the somewhat weird nature of it.

Virtual keyboard

I desperately want one of these for no good reason - I just want one because it’s cool. Thinkgeek offers up a virtual keyboard that uses a laser to project an actual image of a QWERTY full keyboard on to pretty much any flat surface. You can hook it up to your cell […]

Trip It!

I’m the sort of person who likes to be organized, I love the theory of it. What I don’t like is the ACTUAL organizing, perhaps because I’m missing that gene or something. Being disorganized on your travels can be frustrating, dangerous, and can lead to being bored and having to deal with chaos […]

Airline Meals

This is a fine example of “why the heck didn’t *I* think of this first and cash in on it?!” If you’re going to be traveling by plane, now you can log on to Airline Meals and find out what you’ll be served on your flight. It lists pretty much every airline out […]

Stay connected with the Palm Centro

The new Palm Centro is a fairly handy little gadget. Much smaller than the Palm Treos and Blackberry devices, the Centro is super portable and fits snugly in your hand. Being very lightweight is a nice bonus too.
It comes with a full QWERTY keyboard and it’s pretty small so you won’t want to […]

Take pictures while you’re getting around

More and more camera companies are working to install GPS programs into their cameras. They know that although many of us like to use our cameras just to take photos of our daily lives, most of us definitely want to take a ton of photos when we go away on vacation. Of course, […]

Wash and Go

The last thing you want to do on your vacation is any of the mundane stuff you have to do at home, right? That’s why so many of us go to all-inclusive hotels or budget for restaurants, because we cook at home, who wants to do it in Cancun? Doing laundry is not […]
