 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.

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...
In the past we have talked about the light-sensing night light that we carry so we can find the bathroom after dark. When you stay in different hotel rooms, things are not always in the same places.
From time to time, we stay in a place where they have bifurcated the bathroom. The sink and mirror...
How you pack for travel can determine how good or how badly your vacation outing might go. We are pretty much ready to leave at a moment's notice.
When we go on our trips about the state, some of our items already are packed, while others have an itinerary. Of course, we have...
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...
Longtime readers may remember our first review of Tossits litter bags back in 2019. Well they are back. Plus, they are new and improved - and in designer colors no less.
During our travels around the Sunshine State, keeping the car clean is a constant challenge. Between food wrappers, receipts, tissues, and other debris that seems to magically accumulate, the...
Checking our room has become a habit. It's one we think you should pick up. When we travel, we always check out our accommodations before we begin to settle in for our stay
In fact, those who follow us, know that checking our room before we get settled has become a routine. It's easier if we find something early. Then,...
  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...
  How do you stay safe while you travel?
  As we go from place to place we want to be safe and one of the ways we secure the room is with a simple door wedge alarm. It is easy to carry in the suitcase and has served us well.
I have to tell you that one is the door...
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...
