Technology and travel…  two of my favorite things.  Whenever I travel, I can’t leave home without all of my gadgets.  My PC, my tablet, a smartphone, camera, extra batteries, extra chargers – they are usually the first things I pack!

Some would argue that the purpose of vacation is to get away – but for me, technology is what keeps me connected to friends, family and you!  I want to share my adventures with others…  and at the end of a long day, there’s nothing better than relaxing with my PC to catch up on the day’s events.

 My laptop is definately the number one way I share updates on vacation.  At the end of each day, I love downloading all my pictures to my PC.  It helps me clean off my memory card, but it’s also assures me that I’m not losing pictures if I misplace my camera.

I especially love that approximately 57% of people admit to looking at someone else’s laptop on a plane.   Nosy neighbors!
