How to Keep Connected While Staying Apart

April 14, 2020 - by Melody Wren

In the current environment when “social distancing” is the new norm, we are missing so many elements in our lives, family, friends, work colleagues, our whole network.  It would be a different world if we were coping with this pandemic without the Internet.

The Art of Carry-on Does Not Always Apply

February 18, 2019 - by Elizabeth Kerr

Let’s face it…one of the main reasons we choose to go carry-on (or try to) is because we don’t want to lose our luggage. But needs must resulting in checked luggage. Nothing brings as much relief as seeing your luggage heading towards you on the carousel. And there’s the grief when it does not. Despite all the systems in place, luggage goes astray, but you can now ensure a faster return with Lugloc’s geo-tracking system.

Packing Made Perfect

December 18, 2018 - by Elizabeth Kerr

Who really likes to pack? I certainly don’t. No matter how much (or little) planning I ut into the packing process, I usually take far too many clothes, I always forget something crucial and I seldom leave room for tempting purchases on my travels.Explore

Time at a Glance – Wherever You Are – Wherever You’re Going

November 17, 2018 - by Melody Wren

If you’re traveling through multiple time zones in a short period, it can be a little tricky to keep track of the time. When I was going through the Northwest Passage, we zigged and zagged through different time zones, back and forth; even my iPhone couldn’t keep up. Explore

Getting Around Unknown Cities

October 23, 2018 - by Melody Wren

Where is the Beach?

August 22, 2018 - by Melody Wren

With over 30 days of summer left to make more summer memories, spending as much time as possible at a good beach is a great time to spend those last precious days. Recently I was at different beaches three days in a row, but I really wish I had used the Swim Guide app before I swam at one of them because everyone in the family developed swimmer’s itch right after our dip.

The Swim Guide does everything except what to pack for your picnic lunch at the beach.Explore

Airbnb Mobile App – Staying Anywhere Made Easier

July 21, 2018 - by Melody Wren

I recently rented a character-filled apartment for four nights in York, England in a fabulous location, filled with essentials already stocked for my arrival, and all the comforts of home . I could walk most places without using the rental car and hotels in the area were not only booked up, but quite costly.  Without airbnb, how would I have found the fashionable flat?  Their new app emphasizes that Airbnb is a household name. The app undercuts hotels by offering far cheaper prices and a more authentic experience by allowing travellers to stay with a local or rent from a local.Explore

Pack like a Pro with PackPoint

June 20, 2018 - by Angie Michelle

Most travelers complain about congested airports and delayed flights, but my biggest travel frustration is packing. I have the tendency to overpack with unnecessary items and forget the important things. I’ve learned the hard way that having to buy new walking boots every time I travel really adds up. A frequent-flying friend of mine suggested I make a list on my phone to remind me. But, I’ve since found something better – an app called PackPoint.Explore
