Here’s something to keep around if you’re going on a road trip or even camping. The One Battery Emergency Mobile Charger Torch is a heavy duty flashlight that resembles the kind a security guard might carry. It runs, as the name implies, on only one AA battery. However, there’s more to it […]

journeyPod site offers travel guides and podcasts

I came across journeyPod today and it’s an interesting site. Right now it’s limited to covering 16 destinations, but they’ll likely grow and expand over time. If one of the cities listed happens to be where you’re headed (for instance, New York or Dubai), you can check out a travel guide that lists […]

Lingo Voyager 5 Will Do the Talking For You

See travel photos before you go

One of my favorite sites on the Internet is Flickr. I’m a total camera addict - I honestly feel as though I’ve forgotten a limb or something equally important the rare time I leave home without my camera.
