  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...
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...
  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...
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...
 In the past we have written about the little multi-plug we carry to extend our ability to have sufficient electrical sockets when we arrive at a motel that does not have all the facilities we need.
 On a recent shopping trip, Mrs. Funmeister found a new and improved model made by Charging Essentials . This one not only...
 Like the tool box we have in our car for minor vehicle repairs, we also carry a travel First Aid kit in case we suffer some minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, bumps and bruises.
 We actually found the bright red case at a garage sale. It was perf3ect -with Emergency written in large print on the top side. And it was...
We have been trying to refine our night light system as we travel. We started with a light-sensitive night light in our bathroom to provide a bit of illumination during the dark when we are in an unfamiliar hotel room.
However, there have been times when there's no light socket in that portion of the...
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...
When we travel, along with our suitcase and travel bag, we also carry a traveling picnic basket. Why a picnic basket? We were asked this question as recently as our last trip. My wife politely explained to the gal at the breakfast nook; "Well, we don't do styrofoam," she said - putting her hand on a stack...
 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.
Dr. Plotka's
 The Dr. Plotka's...
