Packing

I love Cruises and Traveling: tips for a great vacation

Before I go on a cruise, I typically look for my cruise line luggage that will hold my expensive gowns without wrinkling them. I also look for my luggage that is designed to carry my makeup and jewelry. I have a dog that travels with me so I look for her doggie carrier that meets airlines guidelines. My dog is always with me and never boarded, so we go on cruises that cater to not only myself but to my pet as well. I use garage storage at home and then at my airlines that store my car until my date of return, unless I am driven to the airport for my flight to the ships port or I pay to park at the port sometimes. Valet parking is great, always tip your valet drivers!

Medical storage for going on a cruise is easy. If you require to take medications on a fun filled cruise, take enough medication so that you don’t run out. Put your medications in a small lock box, the one I use is a little fireproof safe that I only know the code, you just simply type it in, it’s all really simple. Make sure that your name and address is on your bottles, especially if you are on any prescriptions from your doctor and are not over the counter medications. Lock up all your medications at home! This is a must! Hide them, just not on yourself like I have in the past. That is an aggravating thing when you can’t find what you’re looking for, especially your meds! Medications are not anything to fool around with. Taking your medications on any vacation is very important, if your pet is on medications, don’t forget to bring them with you and store them with your medications that way your pet will get the medications as it should because you will be into your medications and see your pets meds along with yours and then you will be reminded of their meds as you administer your own medications.

Get rid of all your food that will spoil. Food storage is important when leaving your home for any lengthy period of time. Look for any onions, cabbage, fruit, anything that will deteriorate within a few days, or weeks. Bread molds, so freeze any bread goods. Butter, cheese, yogurt, etc., these things should be okay but check exp dates. Put your cookies in the fridge, all sweets can be frozen or go into the fridge. Peanut Butter is pantry friendly. Crackers and graham crackers, seal up in storage bags. Cereal, same thing, but if you have cereal keepers use them if you don’t already. Refrigerate anything you think might spoil, or better yet freeze most everything, except your eggs. Keep your beer cold, who wants to come home to a warm beer anyways, right? LOL!! Food isn’t cheap so make sure you freeze meat. Also, a great tip, give away fruits and veggies, your neighbors will love you for it.

Chic, High-End Cellular Cases for Travel and Everyday Use

If leather is a great “feel” for you, and is a necessary part, when looking for something to “case” (especially a cellular phone), then, the perfect solution is here! Traveling can bring out the animal in all of us, and if we’re lucky, we will have already gotten abreast of that dilemma by carrying along with us some supportive, hassle-free “must-haves.” There is nothing like the look and feel of leather, and if you want to splurge without the guilt; these durable cases, are a good way to go. They are cost effective, not-too-big, lightweight, but, heavy on the glamour, and a totally hands-free accompaniment while traveling. This snap-on belt carrying case that can be hidden under a jacket or t-shirt is not only “cool,” but a nice way to be on the go and appreciate every minute, instead of worrying where everything is in your briefcase or carry-on. In your car, on a plane, on a cruiseship or even a subway train, or by rail, the HTC Desire S Case, is a complimentive addition. When too many items are being stock-piled, this is the one that fits the bill (or even the “belt”)!

Preparing for your vacation

Preparing for a vacation can easily be one of the most stressful times in a persons life. There’s the endless list of things you need to buy from various places, take care of the pets, get your wardrobe updated for vacation-wear, find someone to grab the newspaper or mail, etc. Its amazing how much frustration we’ll go through to get a little peace and relaxation in our lives, but in the end its always well worth it. Of course this isn’t even to mention the headache of tying up loose ends and work and hoping and praying nothing goes wrong while you’re gone.

If you’re like me though, you’ll really want to make sure your house is clean before you leave, because there is absolutely nothing worse than coming home to a house that’s a pig sty! I like to clean all the windows, do all the laundry, clean the carpets (I recommend Knockout), and just generally make sure things are picked up. So after a long relaxing vacation I’m not coming home to a mess that instantly throws that relaxed state of mind out the window.

Should you use penny auctions to buy things for your upcoming cruise?

Maybe you have recently heard about the controversy surrounding penny auction bid sites. With people wondering how it’s possible to get brand new merchandise for pennies on the dollar, naturally they get suspicious. If you’ve heard people talking about the latest penny auction scam or Quibids scam,  you know what we’re referring to. Those who call these sites a scam simply have a poor idea of how the sites work. They may not trust the deals to be real, but you really can save when you buy from these sites.

In fact, there is no better way to buy things you need for an upcoming trip or cruise. From designer swim suits to jewelry and accessories, these sites have deals you won’t believe on all the little items you need. Pick up a brand new iPhone or digital camera to take with you and capture every memory. How about a new laptop to upload the pictures to and keep track of them? You can get a digital camera worth thousands for only a couple hundred dollars by using penny bid sites. Shop incredible deals and learn to bid smart to take advantage of these websites.

Great Travel Products

Why not make your toiletry case a little more green? The best way to do this is cutting down on the amount of products you buy. Investing in one product saves space on your trip allowing you more room for the things you really need, like your digital camera or a shawl for the airplane. Donate your products to a friend without and try an all in one product like Lifecell. Lifecell promises to do a lot and really delivers. It can be a little pricy, but check out Lifecell reviews to see a list of everything it replaces. It’s moisturizing powers are unmatched, and it’s likely the only hing strong enough to uphold that dry cabin air inside an airplane.

Make sure your make up is green, too. We’re not talking about the color! Many of the top brands and lines offer eco friendly makeup made from safe recycled materials. These could even be packed in materials that are 100 percent recycled. A customer favorite is the recycled make up brush kit that is softer than those made with real hair. These are wonderful for the smooth application of powders and foundation and can reduce the appearance of fine lines when applied correctly.
