On our recent trip to Siesta Key, we had several tasks to accomplish. One was to test out a new LaCrosse projection clock.
The Projection Clock
During the last few months we had become spoiled. The clock in our master bedroom has a function that projects the time on the ceiling. It's quite handy inasmuch as we don't have to crane...
Those who follow us know we always are in search of a good travel hack to make our lives easier. In fact, we have a whole section on Hints & Tips for travel here on the website.
I came by this travel hack quite by accident. I'd had this little snow brush on my tool...
  In traveling, we try to be prepared for many eventualities. One is the dreaded car trouble.
  Cars get increasingly technological and we are not mechanics. From time to time there may be minor repairs and modifications that need to be done. We want to be prepared
Our Traveling Tool Kit
  We carry a small toolbox under the seat. It...
The age of Covid-19 has called for a whole new emphasis of sanitizing the hotel room when we travel. This is a protocol we have done almost since the beginning.
A while back, I wrote an article about a small diffuser we carry with us. It is a crackerjack little item that helps both...
We always are looking for ways to improve our travel experience - this new extension cord is just the ticket. The recent addition of a new multi-plug to our travel bag has proved to be both handy and dandy.
In the past we have been using a specialized multi plug - which allows us...
There is nothing that surpasses the importance of research in planning a getaway. We use TripAdvisor to review the restaurants, lodging and points of interest in area we plan to visit. It helps us determine where we'll go and what we'll do.
Recently, we attended an extended family function where somebody else suggested...
So quite a while back, we got a sample of Tossits. These are large plastic baggies designed to keep your car clean and neat while you travel. An apt description for people our age might be "these are litter bags on steroids."
Although Tossits are referred to by the manufacturer as "car garbage bags," they really...
We have been traveling the Sunshine State for a couple of years now. One of the things we have developed is a Travel basket.
As we have gone from place to place it became quickly apparent that there were some things that we needed to bring along to make certain we were well prepared...
  You see the ubiquitous multi-plug everywhere. Sometimes they are in a socket, sometimes at the end of an extension cord. There are simple multi-plugs and fancy power strips with surge protectors, fuses and even on/off switches of their own. You see them everywhere except when you need one - that's why we carry one with us whenever we...
 When we travel, we have been carrying foldable toothbrushes as a way to save space. These are made by a nationally-known company, so we figured we were pretty well covered.
 Then we were alerted to Dr. Plotka's Mouthwatchers. They come in regular versions, but also in a foldable model - so we thought we'd try them.
