Or at least let them THINK they’re driving!
This kind of thing is a total lifesaver for someone like me. With two kids in our family and our most common method of traveling being via the car, anything that can make the drive a little less stressful is key. If the little one is […]

I fully confess that this is neither a travel gadget nor a useful travel website (though it’s housed on TripAdvisor.com so you can look up travel info when you’re done!), this game is a little bit of a fun distraction for anyone who loves travel.
How well do you know your world is the question that […]

This is pretty much the most insane umbrella I have ever seen. And by “insane” I naturally mean “yes, I would love to try it out”.
One of the most annoying things to have happen on vacation is a downpour of rain. When I went to see the Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza, it […]

This is a great little site just for fun purposes. You can go to Visited Countries and click on all the countries that you have traveled to in your life. Once you’re done it will generate a world map showing how well-traveled you are.
Mine is really flippin’ boring.
Yes, that’s it. I’ve […]

If you have kids (or if you’re a kid at heart!), on Christmas Eve there is only one travel site that matters - the NORAD Santa Tracker! The site follows Santa for 24 hours, telling you his last known location. When I logged on this morning, he had just been in Fuji, Japan. […]
