Sometimes I like to feature products and services that are really useful or important to travelers who wish to maintain their geek culture status - Google map mash-ups, tools for locating your luggage, those types of things.
On the other hand, sometimes it’s fun to have something, not because you really need it and not even [...]
Have you ever gotten out of a taxi, slammed the door, and crossed the street, only to realize that you left your laptop bag, luggage, or purse inside? While this is mind-blowingly upsetting and can cause you to utter expletives for hours on end, it’s even worse if you lose something in another city [...]
The biggest problem with crossing time zones isn’t necessarily keeping track of time - it’s fighting exhaustion. If you’re in another country and have to get up at 7 am for a business meeting your first day in - but it’s only 3 am on your internal clock - a regular wake-up call isn’t [...]
The neverending dilemma for travelers: Making sure you have the right power adapters for your destination country without overloading your luggage with pieces. The Power Bright Plug Adapter will help you plug in your electronic devices in more than 150 countries around the world.
The single power adapter allows you to slide out various [...]
Anyone can pack a flashlight or battery operated lantern to go camping, but that’s just so … old-fashioned. And it’s certainly missing that geektastic flair that comes with a solar powered family sized tent!

Want to know a really bad way to start your vacation? Kicking it off by wasting a huge chunk of time standing around trying to find your luggage when it comes down to the carousel. Perhaps if you have a bright yellow suitcase, it’s less difficult, but since a lot of luggage looks [...]
A lot of people use Google Maps to find driving directions nowadays. On the other hand, what if you’re not in a car? It’s not unusual for people to not bother renting a vehicle when they’re on a vacation rather than a business trip. Many resorts are located in central tourist spots [...]
When I travel, I like to treat myself to some good meals - they don’t have to be fancy top notch restaurants, just restaurants that locals enjoy on a special night out. I also like to eat local cuisine - I’m not going to go to Mexico and eat a burger or fly to Germany [...]
It sounds like it should be a no-brainer, but the truth is that sometimes when you change time zones, it can get complicated trying to keep track of the time difference. That means you might call your mom to tell her how beautiful the ocean is, while forgetting that it’s only 5 am back [...]
