This weather is giving me wanderlust. Serious wanderlust. I saw Tripomatic and I realized it can be easy to get out of dodge and to plan a great itinerary in minutes! This free service recommends interesting places in over 400 destinations world wide. It then creates free, personalized travel guides. Trip itineraries can be prepared easily using the website or with mobile apps for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.
They have hand-picked “the best things to do” all over the world. Presented on a map with beautiful photos and short descriptions, creating the perfect trip has “never been so fast and easy.” The apps feature walking-friendly maps and plot everything in your itinerary and other notable sites. The website also has popular itineraries (linked to USbut available all over the world) and walking maps for many cities, suggested trips by interest and more!
Now I have no excuse but to plan those Seattle and Rome trips the husband and I have been talking about. How about you? Where do you want to go?
Smart phones break and replacing them can break the bank. Have you ever suffered the horrible sinking feeling in your stomach when your phone flies out of your hand and splashes into the toilet or smashes to pieces on the ground? You’re not alone.
Gazelle, the leading consumer electronics trade-in site, announced its annual Klutziest Places in America list. The list is compiled based on the percentage of broken devices Gazelle received from various regions throughout the country. The top 10 “Klutziest Cities” according to their “study” are: College Station, TX, Tempe, AZ, Wilmington, NC, Shreveport, LA, Charleston, SC, Gainesville, FL, Pensacola, FL, Fayetteville, NC, New Orleans, LA and Lubbock, TX. In addition, they found that iPhones, especially older iPhones, like the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4, were the most frequently traded-in broken phones.
Gazelle announced the launch of its annual broken phone contest, inviting people to share their broken phone stories, for the chance to win $500. To enter the contest, and to read the rules and guidelines, visit the following link: .
