Old shoes, new life….

Posted by Staff in Health, Packing, Tip of the Week

Although many people consider the ritual of shopping for vacation clothes necessary…you might want to focus on new clothes and not shoes…a vacation is not the place to break-in new footwear.

I must admit I have not followed my own advice in the past and my poor feet paid the price dearly, and my travel plans needed to be altered once I became chair bound due to bad blisters.  

Do yourself a favor and travel with old shoes!

For the love of denim

Posted by Staff in Packing, Tip of the Week

Although I love jeans and wear them practically every day….sometimes I have to make the hard decision to leave my beloved blue friends behind.

If I am traveling for a long time  or on a trip that involves washing clothes while away….that’s usually when Mr. Denim gets ix-nay-ed.  The reason being that denim takes too long to dry, it’s heavy and bulky.

Sorry my dear jeans…I hope this tip does not end our long love affair…

Wakadoodle travel tip

Another bizarre and hilarious “travel tip” I found on the web:

“Pack a plastic rain coat, it can double as a bathrobe”

Hmmmm, don’t think I want to wear a raincoat as a bathrobe….

The honey cure

Posted by Staff in Health, Tip of the Week

I came across the following post this week on twitter from @thefutureisred : “my travel allergy salve: eat raw honey from whatever place you’re visiting as soon as you arrive. Always makes a difference.”

After some internet research I found that many people feel this method of allergy prevention is helpful…I figure you can’t go wrong, because even if it does not work for you it still will taste good!
