I want to whisk you away with me
Do you recall about ten years ago, there was the “Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative” which requires Americans to carry passports when they visited Canada and Mexico?
Since most passports last for 10 years, that means a lot of people will need replacements this year and next year (2016 and 2017). State Department sources say they expect to issue more than 17 million new passports and renewals this year. That boils down to about 1.5 million more than in 2015. This means that renewals...
The Go Sleep® Travel System is a patented upright sleep system that allows traveler's a better way to sleep while on an airplane. By using this device around a headrest it is a perfect solution to avoid the head bobbing, or neck pillows that just don't work for me.
This set includes a fabric covered pillow and a comfortable sleep mask for the eyes to block the light. A sturdy strap fits around the sides of the sleep mask and goes around the...

I am going to share with you some tips, tricks, and a game plan for you to get the most out of the upcoming Restaurant Week. I have also uncovered some recent “restaurant news” and menu notes too.

When I am researching a restaurant or a hotel, I use multiple resources on-line to learn more about them. If I only depend on YELP, for example there is no guarantee that the person was even at the hotel or restaurant. It is based on “Open Reviews”.
And there are times when a disgruntled employee, or a competitor, posts comments that are untrue. A single one-star review could significantly lower the overall rating of a business. When a business can’t remove a false review, its...
This is one awesome kit that is so simple to use! What for my dramatically enhanced photos as soon as I receive this from Amazon!
Leave it to my social media and web site specialists (Joy and Ian from Comatica) to find a cool gadget that I just have to have. I have a small Cannon camera that I tuck into my purse or pocket and use for taking pictures when at events, traveling or dining. I also find I am using my iphone, as it is handy to then create a collage and post on Facebook, or on my...

PIC STITCH - AN APP FOR MAKING INSTANT COLLAGES OF PHOTOS & IMAGES
This is a FREE App from the Apple Store, and what a wonderful program this has been for me to use. It will be your new best friend while traveling too, I am sure of it. What I like about this program is that it is free, easy to use, and allows me to take a collection of images to then post in various places. That saves me time. And for a nominal fee I did upgrade giving me numerous...

A Cool Web Site To Journal A Trip Including Copy & Photos & Timeline!!!
This is a great program for not only journaling your trip, or outing, but it notes copy and also your photos. All you need is a Smart Phone! Using GPS it can identify your location and the rest is “magic” as I like to say. Is this like “GET SMART” or what?
I am testing it out for my trip to Europe later this summer...
I was just asking one of the founders, Scott...
