One of the things that truly saved our Disney trip was my The WisePack™ Travel Backpack Purse. Nothing is worse than being on vacation and having a sore arm/shoulder/neck from carrying your purse (or in my case, a diaper bag). The great thing about this is that both men and women can wear it. With a little adjustment of the arm straps, Bill and I used this throughout our entire trip. We were able to pack snacks for the kids and a change of clothes for them too. I was also able to pack my wallet safely and my cell phone too.
Now, for those of you who don’t know, Madison ended up in the hospital for three days when we were there. This bag allowed us to haul things back and forth from the resort to the hospital with ease. We were able to pack Will’s diaper needs plus things for him to do while we were there. When we actually got to go to Disney, it was so nice not to have a sore shoulder yet have everything we needed. This also fit quite nicely under the stroller when needed also!
Here are some of the great things about this backpack:
A small Quick Trip Travel Bag with an adjustable cord that can be worn separately to carry small items or your plane tickets
A travel pouch for make-up, jewelry, ipod, etc. that handily clips inside
LED light for clipping inside or outside, making it easy to find items in dark places
A security pocket rests against your back when the WisePack™ is on, providing a safe place for money, plane tickets, passports, and other important items.
Lightweight and durable.
Two zipper pulls open the main section wide for loading and unloading.
Divided into two pockets, one with a Velcro closure, the interior is approximately 14×10x4.
The mesh pockets on each side of the backpack purse’s interior are perfect for water bottles, glasses cases, small umbrellas, pens and more and the shallow pocket inside the WisePack™ travel backpack purse is the perfect size to hold business cards.
On the exterior of the travel bag is a small pocket with a clip, eliminating wasted time digging for missing keys.
This is a product I will definitely be using again and again and again. It makes getting through airport security a breeze, fits under a stroller or plane seat, and it is just comfortable to wear! I have several conferences I’ll be going to this year, and this will definitely be on my back for each one of them!
With the weather changing again to spring, it is never to early to start talking about boating safety. After hearing about the 2 NFL players who were swept out to see, it should make us realize that we aren’t invincible. One of the more stupid things people do is to drink and go boating.
At the time, I can see why people don’t think it’s a big deal. You are out for a weekend, and what’s wrong with having a couple of beers? Well, it is the same as getting behind the wheel of car (you just don’t hear about Boating OUIs quite as much). Would you get drunk and drive your car? Most people wouldn’t and just don’t make that same connection when they go boating. You are still driving a vehicle that can kill and/or hurt people.
Law enforcement is really getting tough on this (and for good reason). Take a look:
Getting drunk and driving a boat is just stupid. I just hope that everyone uses their brains this summer anddoesn’t drink and drive their car, their boat, or really any other vehicle out there. Could you forgive yourself if anything happened to either yourself, your family, or even a complete stranger?
I read over at USA Today that sometime in 2009 we will be able to carry liquids over 3 oz on planes sometime in the next year. We would still have to remove our liquids from carry on bags at security checkpoints and put them through the machines separately. By 2010, we should be able to keep liquids as we go through the checkpoints.
I have a lot of traveling in the last year, and I cannot wait for those changes to happen!
Holiday-Truth.com is a site geared towards regions frequented by Britain tourists. However, they still have a great selection of places you can check out before you book your room there. There are a lot of areas that us US travelers go to also. Searching in foreign contries is fairly easy. However, searching the United States is another story. Instead of being listed by location, its listed by hotel name. They even have a forum you can join! This is a must check out site before you go on vacation! (US wise, I had better luck in the forums).
