No More Travel Sickness!

I keep a running list in my phone of things that I think are awesome during travel. Why for love have I not been posting them?!

This little gem of a tid-bit can’t wait for a top-ten list. If you have trouble with nausea during travel you’ll appreciate this healthy, non-medicated option. [Read more…]

Destination Deliverer

Tay Munich

Our Missus just got back from an overseas trip. Mercy. I thought it was hard when I dropped her off at Kindergarten. Life moves on. Worries change. Times change. This lesson was driven home hard in recent days.

Her college chorale group was traveling through Prague,Vienna and Munich. Lovely. Until the news channels began running stories about terrorist threats in large European cities over the New Year. Big, fat not so lovely.

Tangled

Phone Cord Tangled 1

Today I have a teeny but helpful de-Tangling DoAhead Destination tip. This past fall my daughter stumbled upon a retractable phone charger. She used it at her desk but liked it so much she bought an additional one for her vehicle.

I drove her car one day and found myself wondering, “Why in tarnation don’t I have a charger like this?” {Cuz I’m all real selfless like that.} [Read more…]
