For me, traveling has always been thrilling. Exploring new places and seeing new things is exciting. It is what many people enjoy more than anything else.

#spon: I’m required to disclose a relationship between our site and Intel. This could include Intel providing us w/content, product, access or other forms of payment.
So, recently, I’ve done a lot of traveling. A LOT of traveling. One of the things I realized is that it’s seriously not convenient to take my giant laptop with me everywhere. I’ll bring it along, sure, for work and blogging. But I can’t just get it out and set up somewhere to see where I might want to go in the town I’m in, or when we’re looking for a hotel. You see, I have a 19 inch laptop. It seemed like a good idea at the time I ordered it, but it’s not so portable. We often travel with no reservations. We may have a general plan, but nothing is usually set in stone.
You can use a tablet, or your phone, to connect and look things up, but that gets cumbersome, too. How many times have you tried to click a link while mobile only to wind up somewhere else entirely? For me, that happens ALL.THE.TIME.

There’s nothing more liberating that kissing goodbye to the daily grind and embarking on a backpacking adventure. However, if you’re to enjoy your experiences overseas, it’s important that you plan your trip carefully. For example, before you set off on your travels, it’s a good idea to create a packing checklist so that you don’t forget any of the backpacking essentials.
Here is a rundown of some of the most important belongings you’ll need when you’re away from home.
Do you have a significant anniversary on the Horizon? Maybe you have a major life event coming up? Lots of people choose to celebrate these with a holiday of a lifetime, and what better place to visit than New York City?
We have seen it on television many times – the hero cops do battle with the villains and come out of it triumphantly. They cause millions of dollars worth of damage to the buildings before they catch the bad guy. It isn’t like that in real life; though you might be lucky enough to watch them shooting such a movie during your stay. There is always something happening in the streets of the Big Apple.
Normally, when I travel, I let the spirits be my guide. By that, I mean that I have very few set plans, and just sort of let whatever may be, happen. I mean, when we take a road trip, there’s normally not even a plan of where we’re headed. We make that decision when we get to a fork in the road.

Everybody loves taking a vacation by the seaside, and what’s not to love? Sporty types can have a game of volleyball on the beach. Water-babies can spend their day swimming in the sea, and those looking to relax can lie in the sun with their favorite book and a drink in their hand. That’s why so many people opt for seaside vacations because there’s so much to see and do. Enough to even keep the most stroppy of teenagers entertained. So, if you’re planning on packing a bucket and spade and heading to a beachside location anytime soon, you might want to read this first. Because while beach vacations can be fun, if you fail to plan things properly, your beach vacation might turn out to be one that you’d rather forget.
I seriously debated what to call this post. Eating My Way Through Napa Valley? Gluttony in the Napa Valley? How to Have a Really Great Time? I think I selected the right choice.
Recently, Hilton invited me out to experience Napa Valley and San Francisco. Who could turn that down? While we were only in town for a few days, there were some serious highlights to our Napa Valley trip. Our group basically ate great food, and wine-tasted our way through the NapaValley.
I love love love to travel. It’s one of the great joys of my life. I love road trips, where we just get in the car and go. I like to fly off to faraway lands on trips that take more planning. I even like to see the sights that are around me, and explore my area as a tourist.
For some reason, though, it seems that I don’t travel nearly as much as I used to. I don’t know if it’s because of the adult responsibilities I have now, or I don’t know where to go, or money, or a combination of these. When Hilton invited me to visit one of the great cities of the world – San Francisco – how could I possibly say no?

When you travel, there’s so many things that you have to take with you. Phone, extra memory cards, chargers for everything you’ve ever owned, money, cash in all kinds of denominations, a sweater, the list goes on and on.

Manchester is most commonly known for its thriving music scene. During its heyday in the 1980s the term ‘Manchester’ was coined in homage to its music.

If there’s ever an activity that has been a hate-it-or-love-it proposition, it is camping. You have your one camp (pun intended) that loves the outdoors, and all the dirt, grit, and earthiness that comes with it. On the other side, there’s the group of people who can’t stand anything besides room service and plush, king-sized beds when away from home. But even among the greatest divides, there are the handful of people on the fence – like me! And when it comes to camping, the biggest force that often pushes somebody to one side or the other is the sleep they get. After all, there’s not much you can enjoy if you tossed, turned, and shivered your way to a whopping 18 minutes of sleep. You can sleep better when camping, though!

When you think of Switzerland, what immediately comes to mind? Snow? Skiing? Hot Chocolate? What about cheese and dairy and fondue? A neutral country during times of war and bank accounts? That last part may just be the historian in me coming out…
Switzerland has so much more than that to offer. During the summer, there’s water recreation. I mean, liquid water – like lakes, not just the frozen stuff. Or take a hike. A hike to see the gorgeous countryside, not just, like, go away.
Check out the above video from the Swiss Tourism board, and be sure to view all of their other videos. They are hilarious! There may also be a contest to win a trip to Switzerland involved. Jus’ sayin…
