VibeAgent

There’s another great site that has been recently launched for travel fanatics, and it’s really the kind of site I’m loving more and more. Nothing personal against travel agents, because they’re awesome too (and I studied Travel & Tourism for that purpose myself once upon a lifetime, pre-kids) but not every travel agent has […]

Use TripAdvisor to watch out for bedbugs!

Melissa over at Europe String has a very handy post up about bedbugs and how to avoid the icky insects that like to bite people who are sleeping. They live in mattresses or in the seams and they come out at night. Because they’re due to poor cleaning more than anything else, […]

Staying cool in hot destinations

I thought this was - pardon the bad pun - a really cool idea. If you’re heading to a hot destination, that heat can be great if you’re out on the beach or sipping fruity beverages under an umbrella. However, the heat can make sleeping uncomfortable. Although most decent hotels offer air […]

High tech luxury camping

I am going camping this coming weekend. I will be packing up clothes, diapers for my toddler, a deck of playing cards, and lots of snacks and food. While we’re there, my husband is playing at a camp party, so he’ll be bringing his guitar and amp. The most high tech thing […]
