Top 5 Dog Sledding Places for a New and Exciting Vacation Idea

Top 5 Dog Sledding Places for a New and Exciting Vacation Idea

It is widely recognized that dog sledding was invented by the Inuit people in what is now Canada thousands of years ago. Early on, a single dog likely pulled a single small load of goods like firewood. Later, dog sledding became more advanced by using teams of dogs to pull larger loads and eventually humans through the Arctic regions of the world. Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada Alberta, specifically the Canmore area, offers the opportunity to glide through snow-covered trails in t

Check Out This Guide for a Perfect Winter Train Voyage

Check Out This Guide for a Perfect Winter Train Voyage

Train travel may take longer compared to other transportation, but the benefits can be immense. Across North America, anyone can take a scenic ride through mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests for about the same price — or less — as an airline ticket while also traveling in cushier seats and a more relaxed atmosphere. And these scenic rides aren’t just for summer getaways — winter is just as magical a time to ride the rails, if not more. Adirondack Train: New York City, New York Departing daily from New York City and journeying through Albany to Montreal, this scenic trip takes you straight through New York State’s Adirondacks, where snow lovers can marvel at the icy peaks and white-dusted trees that blanket the landscape. California Zephyr: Chicago, Illinois If you want to truly see the extent of America’s gorgeous and diverse scenery in wintertime, you can’t do better than with the California Zephyr with Amtrak. This roughly two-day winter train excursion takes you from Chicago to San Francisco, where you can see all kinds of landscapes across the U.S., from the Great Plains to icy peaked mountains — all blanketed in snow. Coast Starlight Train: Seattle, Washington The frigid Pacific Northwest has plenty of fantastic views of forests, lakes, rivers, and the snow-capped Cascade mountains for people who want to enjoy a winter wonderland. But, you can also gently watch the snow melt away as you travel south through California to Los Angeles on this scenic ride. Colorado Ski Train: Denver, Colorado Luckily for ski bunnies, the Winter Park Express is an Amtrak train that delivers you from Denver Union Station to the doorstep of Winter Park Resort. This amazing scenic ride takes you into the Colorado Rockies for a day, weekend, or even a whole week of skiing between January and April (tickets go on sale in late November or early December of the previous year). Yellowstone in the Winter: Salt Lake City, Utah The Amtrak winter train ride, which includes hotel accommodations for four nights, is built around a tour of Yellowstone National Park. Geysers, hot springs, and steam vents take on a special magnificence in the winter, as the hot water steams amidst the icy environment. Not only is wildlife much easier to spot — especially wolves native to the area — you also won’t have to fight crowds to get a good view.

Top 10 US Ski Resorts Recommendations Perfect for Family Trip

Top 10 US Ski Resorts Recommendations Perfect for Family Trip

From kids working on their pizza wedge to tweens honing their advanced skills, ski resorts are becoming more family-friendly across the U.S. These kid-friendly ski resorts have recognized the importance of catering to families and are helping kids progress their skills and enjoy their time on and off the mountain like never before. 1. Crystal Mountain Resort, Washington In the summer, Washington’s largest ski area transforms into the perfect summer playground. Crystal Mountain Resort lies on the sunny side of Mt Rainier, just six miles from the Northeast entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park and the popular Sunrise area of the park. Nestled amid stunning forests, wildflower-filled meadows, and pure Washington wilderness, Crystal Mountain is a fun and relaxing escape any time of the year. 2. Breckenridge Ski Resort, Colorado Breckenridge boasts four peaks for skiers and riders to explore in addition to the two lift-serviced summits that access terrain normally found only in the backcountry. With the greatest vertical drop in Summit County at 3,398 feet, there are equal options for skiers who are just learning to stand, and those who are learning to fly. 3. Mt. Bachelor, Oregon At 4,300 acres, the resort is also one of the largest in the United States, offering varied terrain within the hemlocks and pines. Since it opened in 1958, the resort has been known for its light and dry snow, and spectacular scenery. 4.

Deer Valley, Utah As one of Utah’s most popular luxury mountain resorts (in the summer, too), Deer Valley Resort goes out of its way to ensure the best skiing experience possible. Some would argue it is impossible to have a bad day at Deer Valley thanks to their customer service and consistently excellent skiing terrain. 9. Sun Valley, Idaho There are a lot of great ski resorts in the United States, but none can match Sun Valley’s rich winter sports history - this was literally the nation’s first destination ski resort, with the world’s first chairlifts, where the very idea of the American ski vacation was born. 10. Okemo, Vermont Okemo has the largest vertical drop, 2,200’, of the ski and snowboard areas in southern Vermont’s Green Mountains. Of the 610 skiable acres, 95% are covered by snowmaking, giving Okemo some of the best and most consistent snow coverage throughout the winter. Lots of great intermediate cruising, beginner learning areas, and some advanced glades and trees make the mountain great for skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels. Okemo’s southern Vermont location is also easy to get to for skiers and snowboarders from throughout Boston, Albany, and the northeast.

Taking Your Children Out Skiing? You Will Need to Prepare the Following Things

Taking Your Children Out Skiing? You Will Need to Prepare the Following Things

Winter is approaching and if you're looking forward to your children skiing this season, then it's time to prepare. Going skiing is a fun and adventurous experience for families. If you're taking your children to the mountains, here are some things you will need to pay attention to make sure your children are having fun while being comfortable and safe. Board and Stick Poles There are two types of boards: snowboard (single) and skiboard (double). Regardless of which board you choose, its length, surface, shape, and hardness must be considered. The length needs to be based on the child's height and weight. Here's a tip, you can measure the appropriate length starting from the ground to the distance between their chin and the bridge of the nose. You can also refer to the size chart below. As for the ski poles, as long as they can bend their elbow to a 90-degree angle when they hold the handles, it should be fine. For reference, a child with a 4 ft tall can use  2 ft long ski poles. Boots and Bindings Both the boots and the fasteners have to be comfortable to wear and fit well to the board. Since their tightness can be adjusted, buying boots that are 1 size larger is sometimes also recommended. Also, here's a tip on how to save some money, some sport stores allow you to purchase new boots with a discount if you trade in your old boots. Ski Suit The suit you choose for your sweetheart should be warm, windproof, and waterproof, and it should not be made of cotton. Although cotton material can absorb sweat, and yes, you still sweat even when it's cold, cotton does not dry easily. Your children will easily catch a cold by wearing sweaty clothes. Three layers of clothing should be enough to make you comfortable. 1. The first inner layer should be breathable. You can consider UNIQLO's Heattech long-sleeved shirt and trousers, GAP, Champion, or any other sports brand. 2. The second layer should be about keeping your body warm. You can consider thick fiber or merino wool sweaters and trousers. 3. The outer layer will be the ski suit itself, which can be divided into upper and lower parts. When purchasing, pay attention to the waterproof index and warmth index, the higher the better. Cuffs from both the jacket and pants should have a windproof design to prevent snow from entering the suit when sitting or bending over. Do not substitute your suit with flannel, cotton, or a thick jacket as they are not waterproof, easy to dip in snow, and easily torn Gloves Similar to the ski suit, your gloves must be waterproof, windproof, and warm. To prevent snow from entering the gloves, tuck the cuffs into your suit. There are mainly two types of gloves: gloves with a place for each finger and mittens, basically one hole for the thumb and one big hole for the rest. Although it is not that convenient to constantly put on and take off the "gloves", they are more flexible when gripping the ski pole handle and skiing. That's why wearing gloves is always more recommended than wearing mittens. Socks Ski socks are different from the socks you usually wear. They are not made of cotton but are generally made of wool-mixed fibers. Also, in order to prevent friction from snow boots, the socks are very long, about the top of the calf below the knee. Other Protective Gears 1. Helmet Different than a regular bicycle helmet, a ski helmet has ear pads and can be worn with goggles. 2. Goggles Wearing goggles can protect your sweetheart from approaching wind and snow when skiing. Goggles should be made of solid materials, be waterproof, and have certain impact resistance, anti-fogging (the coating is usually inside, so be careful when wiping), and UV protection. There is generally foam on the inside of the frame to increase comfortability when wearing. You should also consider its compatibility with your helmet. 3. Ski Mask For children, consider wearing a balaclava, which is a type of ski mask that covers all parts of the head except the eyes as it provides better protection.

8 Things You Need to Prepare Before Seeing the Aurora

8 Things You Need to Prepare Before Seeing the Aurora

The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, is a natural phenomenon – an incredible light show in the sky that can paint the entire sky with colors of green, purple, and red. It's not something we can see often in many parts of the world, but those lucky enough to see it will remember it for many years to come. Are you planning a trip to see the Northern Lights? Or maybe you're wondering if you should take a chance and visit Iceland? Either way, here are the 8 things you need to prepare before seeing the aurora. What to Wear In case you are not aware yet, aurora can only be seen in the part of the world where it's dominantly cold. Even so, you don't need to dress like the Michelin Man. You can wear three layers and still feel comfortable. If you want to be able to change conveniently between low-temperature and room-temperature environments, consider the onion-style method. Using this method, you only need to wear mainly two types of clothing, the inner and the outer. For the outer, you would want to wear a two-layered jacket, one layer being a waterproof windbreaker while the other layer is made of warm wool. This is to prevent outside wind from entering your body and causing you to catch a cold. Most people may sometimes opt for a neck scarf as well. As for the inside, either a thermal undershirt or even a T-shirt should be enough. Gloves can make your life easier In addition to the above attires, if you want to stay longer in the cold, having gloves is a must. Ski gloves are the more popular choice, but the problem is that the material is sometimes unnecessarily heavy and you may need to take them off every time you need to use your smartphone. That's why you should spend more time looking for the right one. Consider buying a more comfortable and lighter style that enables using your camera or smartphone, so you never miss a moment. Snow chain is unnecessary As long as you are driving on a public road with asphalt, avoiding mountain roads and seasons when it snows heavily, gearing your car with the snow chain is not necessary. Additionally, there are snowplow trucks clearing the snow and spreading salt to maintain the road every day. Right now, Canada and the United States do not allow using snow chains. Snowy road: driving and parking 101 Do not powerfully stomp either your brake or your gas pedal, to prevent your vehicle from skidding. If you ever find yourself skidding a little, slightly moving your steering wheel should be enough to bring you back to balance. This is why it's important to not speed and leave some distance to stop your vehicle safely. If you are driving during November and December when the temperature is usually the lowest, make sure you park your vehicle near engine heaters and connect it to your car to prevent your car engine from freezing. Photography equipment Nowadays, with the improvement of the performance of equipment, you can take pictures of the northern light with some manual-operated micro monoculars or even high-end small cameras, as long as they have good noise control and pure high-sensitivity ISO performance, combined with a tripod and a large aperture to extend the exposure time, most of them can record the graceful dance of the aurora. But keep in mind that aurora is a large-scale natural phenomenon, so it is recommended to use a wide-angle or fisheye lens for shooting. How to take beautiful pictures Taking pictures of the aurora may be a little bit more complicated if you want to capture its elegant movement. When shooting the aurora, most people will use a high sensitivity above ISO 1600 with a large aperture. Generally speaking, the aperture of F4 is sufficient, but don’t forget to adjust the focus to manual, and then turn the focus position to infinity. When you are ready, you can carefully observe the dancing movement of the aurora, and then press the shutter for the long exposure time, usually about 5 to 15 seconds. If the brightness is high and the movement is fast, you may need to close the shutter early. Therefore, when shooting, you should keep your eyes on the situation of the aurora. Sometimes you can close the shutter for a big turning picture, because if the aurora changes too fast, although it's very beautiful to our own eyes, it may be too blurry in the image presentation, and the beauty would not be captured perfectly. Dealing with different brightness Generally speaking, the brightness of the aurora is divided into 10 levels. The camera needs more than 30 seconds to clearly identify brightness level 1 and 2, otherwise it will look like a white smoke, lightly floating in the air. Level 3 and 4 will slowly begin to turn from white to green, appearing in front of our eyes as light green light, which is commonly known as green light. Brightness level 5 and higher will be very dazzling, and the change in color is crystal clear visible, with the light lavender color sometimes emerging in the night sky. If you are extremely extremely lucky, you may have the opportunity to see the aurora with level 8-10 brightness, illuminating the earth. During this moment, quick, take out your iPhone and snap. Keep yourself informed of the weather If you are using iOS, here are the two app you can consider downloading. 1. Aurora - By Roger Moffatt http://goo.gl/cC3Rl4 2. Aurora Forecast - by TINAC Inc http://goo.gl/Mc053j Through those free apps, you can observe the geomagnetic response and radius trend of the aurora, so as to know its predictability. There are 5 levels in total. Although the predictability of the aurora is based on sunspots and geomagnetic reaction, if the weather is not supportive and thick clouds covered the sky, the northern light would not be visible, no matter how exaggerated and beautiful it bursts all over the earth. That's why it's important to look for the aerial condition on satellite cloud images, analyze the route, and plan properly. You can also utilize the aurora forecast website provided by the University of Alaska below. Aurora Forecast | Geophysical InstituteForecasts of auroral activity, updated daily.Geophysical Institute In addition, you should also pay attention  to the position of the moon and the change in the lunar phase, as the brightness of the moon will also affect the brightness of the aurora. Many people always visit on days during the new moon where the aurora is less affected by the moonlight. However, it is actually beneficial sometimes to have moonlight. In this way, parts of the landscape can be clearly captured without exposing for too long, but of course the magnificence of the aurora depends on the brightness level of the performance at that time.

10 Tips to Earn More with Your Chase Credit Card

10 Tips to Earn More with Your Chase Credit Card

If you haven't had a Chase credit card before, now's the right time to create one! Check out how to do it below. How to Get Your First Chase Credit CardChase credit card. You heard that brand everywhere, everyone has been using it, and it’s of course not without any reasons. Chase credit card has a lot of offerings. Its points are more valuable, not to mention its additional value on travel plans and hotels. It can be said thatBucktripDanny William Other than their abundant rewards program, bonus points, and cash back, there are actually many other ways you can earn more with your Chase credit card. Here are 10 tips on how you can utilize Chase credit cards: 1. Get a higher sign-up bonus if you apply just before a public offer release Chase used to have this old rule where they will match you with a higher offer that is just released if your card is issued within the past 90 days. This rule is not written on their page anymore. However, if you apply for a card that coincidentally has a higher public offer right after, you can still match for a higher bonus. All you need to do is call the reconsideration line. Not all requests got approved, but it never hurts to ask! 2. Getting around the 524 rules If you’re eligible for a new Chase credit card and you have opened more than five cards in the past 24 months, you may be denied new cards due to the rule. However, there are several cases where this rule doesn't apply: * Co-branded cards like the Amazon Prime Visa Signature cards, the United Explorer cards, and the Southwest Airlines cards are not within 524. * If one of the credit lines is an authorized user card on someone else's account, that means you are only actually at 424. * You can apply for a business credit card at the branch and bypass 524. Your business card doesn't show up on your personal credit report, hence it doesn't affect your 524 status. * You can also check with a banker or the "Just for You" page on the website to see whether you are eligible for pre-approved offers that can also bypass 524. These circumstances sometimes also rely on luck, some have even gotten a 624 despite the rule. Again, it never hurts to ask! 3. Transferring points to family members Sharing is caring they said, and this time, it's also beneficial. You can still add household members to your Point Transfer page by calling Chase. Don't worry, you only have to do this once, and afterward, the household cards will be available to add on the Point Transfer page. By doing this, you can take advantage of certain card offers despite earning points on the other. Say, maybe other card points value more, or maybe you want to quickly collect points for a five-star hotel promotion. 4. You can have as many Freedom cards as you want While the 524 rule still stands, there's no limit to the number of Chase Freedom you can have. And here's how it can benefit you: * Downgrade Say you want to get that welcome offer for a new Sapphire card, but there's only one limit for Sapphire and you already have one. Easy, all you need to do would be to downgrade your Sapphire into Freedom and reapply for a new Sapphire card. * More spending allowance If with one card you have a $1,500 limit, then with two cards it will be $3,000. The list goes on. 5. Reallocate your account credit limits between cards Chase limits the credit limits by the amount they are willing to extend to you. If you ever find yourself denied new cards due to the maximum credit limits, ask the reconsideration line to lower the limits on cards you don't use much and get that welcome points. 6. Refer your friends Think we have concluded that sharing is beneficial. You can refer Chase cards that you have, mainly Freedom and Business Ink cards to your friend and get either cash back or bonus points per referral. 7. Pay your Chase card to $0 mid-cycle When you settle out your outstanding balance, Chase will do a one-off report to the Credit bureau regarding the payment and the time. Paying big balances mid-cycle will certainly give you a good impression, as well as a good credit score. 8. Adjust your due date when necessary Align your Chase card payment due date with your payday. Do your own financial management. Adjusting the due date is especially helpful when: * You want to get your points earlier since points are released after the closing of each billing cycle. * You want to delay receiving points. Who wants to receive a companion pass in December, right? Note that the adjustment will not take effect immediately but in the next billing cycle. So, plan your finance carefully. 9. Chase provides automatic credit limit increases Now, asking for a credit limit directly may result in a hard pull on your credit reports that affect your credit score. However, Chase actually does increase your credit limit without needing to ask. All you need to do is to keep a good score on your credit by settling your balance on time, etc. Another thing that may help is constantly updating your income over time if your income is increasing. If Chase knows you are getting wealthier, it's only natural for them to encourage you to spend more on them. 10. Offers hunting If you have the daily habit of checking discounts on your favorite store, it's time to add another one to the list. Chase also targets existing customers with pre-approved offers and higher bonuses. Here are the two places you can find them: 1. The "Just for you" page. 2. Chase's credit journey, in the Offers section. Available pre-approved offers will be shown with the green star. There it is! Hope the above tips help you in preparing for your shopping journey with Chase.

As soon as we inserted the card and turn on the phone it connected and we got a text with our local (French) phone number. We had 4G almost all the time, occasionally 3G. While in France we were only in Paris and the immediate vicinity. We each used about 13 GB of data in the 9 days of our trip. We rarely made phone calls using our French number but I tested and it and it did work. - David.B  Price: 45.99  3. $29 Ultra Mobile Phone Plan | Unlimited Talk & Text + 6GB 5G • 4G LTE Data (3-in-1 GSM SIM Card) We’re dedicated to creating innovative, authentic, mobile communication experiences by delivering convenient and cost-effective wireless services to those in the United States.

A Prepaid bundle of 12GB data, 3000 voice mins, 3000 texts for 30 days use  Customer review: I've ordered these cards many times in the past and they are always some of the most economical. But some things to keep in mind: 1. The data roaming only supports 3G in most countries outside of the UK. (within the UK you get 4G signal and texting/calls). 2. I highly recommend activating the card a day or two before your trip (the cards are valid for 30 days, and usually my vacations are 1-2 weeks max. so I can afford to activate it early). Why?

To continue your Visible service at the end of your prepaid month, add a payment method to your account and make your first payment. And with NO annual contracts and NO hidden fees, and unlimited talk, text and data, why wouldn’t you?  Customer review: Let's just say at this price the service is great especially if you get the $45 plan for more priority data, However this is Verizon so always check if your phone is compatible before ordering. I do have a s22 ultra I originally purchased from T-Mobile paid and unlocked and the website said it was not compatible when it clearly was.

Tips to Keep Your Cash Safe and Sound on the Road

Tips to Keep Your Cash Safe and Sound on the Road

The travel companions I met on the road once asked me: How did you travel to this point? In their eyes, I was a confused, nervous, and poorly remembered traveler, and it was a miracle that I survived. Because I know my confused nature, I am more careful with cash and passport when I travel. I prefer longer trips, so I can't help but bring more cash with me. Invisible waist bag Many people will do invisible pockets, I'm really afraid of trouble, plus hands are not very dexterous just give up! I did not buy a special invisible fanny pack, but directly to my running in the use of a small fanny pack to use, without spending more money and the right size. A small fanny pack is super practical, take the night train or stay in a hostel when the cash with the "waist" to carry is also very secure. I usually put most of my cash inside when I'm out and only carry small denomination bills for the day in my small handbag. Some people say to prepare fake wallets to give to criminals when they are robbed, but I didn't prepare them separately, after all, I don't have much money in my real wallet! Split the money to spread the risk Separate the money into different locations in your fanny pack, carry-on bag, and backpack (suitcase). If the hotel has a safe, you can also put a small amount of cash in the safe, so that even if some of it is stolen or dropped, there are at least other first aid available. I have also seen travel companions put money in socks (new socks inside the backpack). Behave in a low-key Included manner and dress as much as possible to blend in. Although it is difficult to hide your identity as a tourist (how can you hide it with a backpack or a suitcase), there is no need to show off that you are rich and a fat sheep. It is best to dress simply when going abroad, especially to places where security is not good, the more tycoon you dress, the easier it is to become the object of covetousness. When I was in San Francisco, the escort once told me that whenever he saw them with Rimowa luggage, he would pay special attention to them, which means they have spending power! " Me: "But how do you know if he borrowed the luggage? The ground escort: "At least he borrowed it, which means he also has some ability. " I am not writing this story against Rimowa, but from that conversation, I realized that there are really people who pay attention to your dress. Of course, the most important thing is to have fun when traveling abroad, if you want to wear a brand name out, you should keep an extra eye out, be extra careful or pick a safe place to travel, and not reveal your money is the king! Bring an ATM card/Credit card that can withdraw foreign currency There will still be accidents, so you need to bring an ATM card that can withdraw foreign currency. No matter how careful you are, bring an ATM card that can withdraw foreign currency abroad is a necessity (go to the bank and apply for access). I usually don't put this card together with my daily cash, as there is a handling fee for withdrawing foreign currency and the exchange rate is not always cost-effective, but it is very useful for emergencies. Passport copy Passport photocopy and cell phone flip (or save in the cloud). Although it is not about cash, the passport is also super important, so we have to write it out especially! When you go abroad, your passport is a document that represents your identity and you may need it at any time, so you must carry it with you. That's about it! The above simple sharing, hope practical ^ ^ You may also want to know: Wallowing on the Pizza 🍕: ItalyItaly is home to some of the world’s most famous art, architecture, food, and wine.

Planning a Spring Trip with Your Kids? Check Out This Article!

Planning a Spring Trip with Your Kids? Check Out This Article!

Are you planning a trip with your toddler? Check this article out for Spring Family Trip Tips & Tricks~ Spring is coming! Combine work and rest during the trip 😎 Prepare well before the trip When spring comes, parents always want to take their children out to enjoy the spring sunshine and take them to the greenery. However, spring is a time when bacteria and viruses are active in recovery and the temperature is changing, so babies may not adapt to the climate and their resistance will be reduced. Moms and dads need to take precautions to keep their babies healthy out there. Choose child-friendly spots! When you take your baby on a trip, unlike adult travel, you should choose interesting and child-friendly destinations, such as zoos, botanical gardens, and seashores, according to the characteristics of your own baby. The itinerary should not be too close, to try to relax, too strenuous trips will make the child unwell, or even sick. During the trip, you should try to arrange for your child to run and jump in some of the more open places, such as parks and squares, in order to stretch their muscles. Psychological preparation It is necessary for mom and dad to give their children psychological preparation for going out in advance. You can describe the interesting things about the trip in advance, the places to be visited, found on the map to introduce to the children, there are pictures first for the introduction is better. Make your child look forward to the trip. Prepare food Babies are always picky eaters, it is difficult to serve them at home, and they are even pickier when they travel. When you travel, bring your baby food that is often eaten at home and is nutritious: milk powder, cookies, fruit, etc. Prepare some pure fruit juice that children often drink, you can also wash the fruits and vegetables, cut them into small strips, small slices in the lunch box, with toothpicks for children to eat. Organize your bag Even for short trips, it is important to have all the essentials such as thermos, bottles, milk powder, supplemental food, diapers, etc. to ensure that your child eats as regularly as their do at home. The thermos can not only ensure that the baby can drink hot water and hot milk at any time, but also prevent some babies with sensitive stomachs from having diarrhea due to changes in water quality. Spring is rainy, so when you go out on foot, bring rain gear to prevent your baby from getting wet and catching a cold. Bring one or two of your child's favorite toys, which can be used to relieve his boredom when sitting in the car for a long time. Bring along a jacket to keep warm and block the wind and rain. Bring a variety of emergency medicine, mosquito repellent, etc. Bring the clothes you are used to wearing so that the environment has changed and is not likely to cause skin allergies in children. Prepare gifts Children usually feel bored after a long time on the trip. You can do some small activities and play some games with your child, and don't try to calm him down only after he has made a scene. Prepare some gifts and give them to your child from time to time during the trip, or give them to your child when you arrive at certain places or attractions. So that your child will have something to look forward to throughout the trip, and have fun and deepen his memory. Rest and Adjustment When you go on a spring trip, your baby will be more excited and exhilarated because of the contact with new things, and will refuse to sleep on time when you are having fun. Infants and toddlers are an important period of growth and development, so it is very important to reasonably arrange rest time for your baby and combine work and rest to strengthen your baby's resistance. Moms and dads should let their babies rest and sleep according to a reasonable rest time, if it is a full day of outdoor play, you can bring the stroller, and let the baby rest in the car nap at lunchtime, the baby's resistance is very helpful. Prevention of motion sickness For babies with motion sickness and seasickness, do not feed fried or high-fat food before taking the bus; try to avoid taking a sealed bus trip. If you have to take a long trip by car, put a fresh ginger slice on your baby's belly button (fixed with a Band-Aid) 30 minutes before departure. Or take motion sickness medicine as instructed; try to sit in the front seat next to the driver to reduce bumps; prepare a plastic bag, toilet paper, and water for your baby, and let their spit dirt in it. When they vomit, rinse their mouth with water to eliminate bad odors and wipe the corners of the mouth. Dietary issues Take meals on time, avoid long intervals between meals, also prevent overeating, and do not eat too many snacks. Bring some pre-prepared meals and dry food, including the child's favorite food, and drinks, and allow him to change the way he eats or the amount of food, do not be as strict as at home. If you go to a restaurant, it's best to ask for a quick and easy meal because hungry children often don't have the patience to wait too long. Pay attention to food hygiene. In warm weather, avoid eating outside in the wind. Defecation problems You should also consider the disposal of your child's urine and stool in advance, and prepare more dry and wet tissues, garbage bags, diapers, replacement clothes, pants, etc. Safety first Remind your child not to reach out from the car window when riding in a car, and to fasten the seat belt when flying. During the tour, parents should always pay attention to the baby's mood and condition, pay attention to whether the baby is hungry or tired, whether the body is comfortable, and pay attention to the child's health to prevent colds, diarrhea, or infection of other diseases. After arriving at the destination, parents should do the necessary safety checks in the room. In crowded attractions, parents should watch their babies carefully and should not be too far away from them to avoid getting lost or falling. It is a good idea to put an information card with the baby's name, parents' names, contact numbers, and hotel address in the baby's clothes pocket in case of emergency. Also, teach your baby to remember the necessary information such as "call the police if you have a problem", "where is home", "what is the name of your parents", etc. Pollen allergy Children are likely to be congenitally allergic to pollen. Young children with a history of pollen allergies should choose to go on spring trips to parks with mainly trees and lawns, and not too large flower shows. Weather conditions also have an impact on pollen dispersal. If the weather is clear after rain, there will be very few pollen particles, making it suitable for children with pollen allergies to go on trips. Once you find that your child's face looks bad after smelling flowers, don't let your child stand in the flowers and take pictures. You can immediately use a small cotton swab dipped in a small amount of pure water or warm water to clean your child's nostrils to prevent allergy symptoms from worsening. Perks of Bringing Kids There are many benefits of taking your baby on a trip in the spring Exercise physical fitness Taking your baby out for a trip, close contact with nature, and breathing fresh air, is a positive and effective way of physical exercise. Letting your baby walk and run can improve lung capacity and can enhance muscle vitality. Expanding knowledge Travel can help babies perceive nature and ecology, get in touch with people and things other than their closest relatives, and expand their knowledge. When you take your baby on a trip, you can point out the scenery for a proper explanation, so that your baby can make a leap to rational understanding while gaining perceptual knowledge. The mastery of this knowledge may not be useful for the child to participate in intellectual competitions, but it will certainly help to improve his comprehension and transferability. Improve self-care ability Many parents are used to taking care of everything for their babies, on the grounds that they are too young. It is recommended that when parents make preparations for a trip, they may want to involve their baby in the preparation. This will not only improve the baby's interest in traveling but also let the baby understand what essential supplies should be brought for the outing. In addition, you can also cultivate a good habit of organizing the baby's belongings.

Choose an issue that you care about and get involved! As you help the world, you will learn more about the issue and become more connected to the community. ASK is the Best Way! Just open your curiosity and ask. I often ask B&Bs/hotels if they have any events they would like to go to. I have seen restaurants with a lot of music decorations and asked the owner if they have any concert recommendations. So, Make your trip more unique!

Little Things Hotels Do That Make Them Amazing

Hotels as well as their staffs always try their best to offer all kinds of convenient services to make your feel at home. If you know the details of the services, it may help you when you are in trouble during your trip. Here, we will introduce some of the lesser-known but useful services offered by many hotels. 💡"Hotel" here refers to Western-style hotels such as city hotels, resort hotels, and business hotels Luggage services Luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. Most hotels will take care of your luggage even before the start of check-in time if it is on the day you arrive at the hotel, or after check-out if it is the day you leave the hotel. If you arrive at the hotel early in the morning and want to go sightseeing, but your luggage is not ready..., Photo by Tommaso Pecchioli / Unsplash we recommend that you stop by the hotel and leave your luggage. Depending on the hotel, you may be able to leave your luggage in your guest room when your room is ready. Receiving and Shipping Luggage Many hotels will accept the luggage that you have sent to the hotel in advance or will ship it from the hotel. However, not all hotels will accept your luggage, so you will need to confirm in advance (by e-mail or phone, etc.) whether or not they will be able to receive it. At this time, you will need to confirm the following: * The size of the luggage * The typee of bag * The number of itemse to be sent * The number of piecese of luggage to be sent * The expected arrival datee of the luggage When sending luggage, you may be instructed to write the date of your stay and your name in the remarks column of the slip, for example, "Staying on XXXX, addressed to XXX." Make sure that the address and remarks column is written in such a way that the hotel can easily receive your luggage. Some hotels will leave your luggage in your guest room prior to your arrival. On the other hand, if you would like to send your luggage from the hotel to your home or other destination, just let the hotel front desk know and they will do it for you. If the hotel has a partnership with a delivery company, you can send your luggage prepaid. In both cases, you are responsible for the cost of shipping. Convenient service Not many hotels offer this service, but here are some of the services that you may be lucky enough to have at your hotel. * Clothing service * Clothes cleaning Most hotels offer a laundry service for your clothes. If you are staying for a long period of time, if you want to reduce the number of clothes you carry, if you have soiled your clothes during your trip, you can have them cleaned. Some business hotels have coin-operated laundries, so you can use them according to the type of laundry you need to do. * Trouser presses are available for rent. Trouser presses are very useful when you are staying in a hotel in a suit on a business trip. Most hotels, including city hotels and business hotels, rent trouser presses free of charge. Photo by Waldemar Brandt / Unsplash Suits can become worn out after just one day of wearing them, so if you are going to wear them the next day, it is a good idea to use a trouser press to keep yourself presentable. Room Service * Morning call City hotels, for example, will respond to wake-up calls if you request them in advance to the front desk. Photo by Himanshu Ranpara / Unsplash This is convenient when you feel uneasy about using an alarm bell such as a digital clock alone.Some hotels will call your room if your room alarm clock or cell phone is left ringing. If you leave your phone ringing, it will cause noise and trouble for the guests in the surrounding rooms, so please stop it immediately and get up. * Wi-Fi service Most hotels these days offer free Wi-Fi. If a password is required, it will be indicated at the front desk or in your room. Photo by Brett Jordan / UnsplashCables are available for rent.Some hotels lend cables such as charging cables for smartphones and tablets, extension cords, etc. * Additional bedding and heaters are available for rent. If you feel chilly, you can request additional bedding or a heater. If your room does not have a humidifier or air purifier, some hotels will lend you one if you request one (the number of units is limited). Photo by Jilbert Ebrahimi / Unsplash * Pillow additions If the height of the pillow does not fit your room, you may request an extra pillow (limited quantities are available). * Fruit knife and scissors rental There are times when you may want to cut up the fruits or cakes that you bought on your trip. Photo by Nathalie Jolie / Unsplash If you need a knife to cut a product tag, please ask at the front desk. * Massage Many hotels offer massage services (for a fee). Photo by Emiliano Vittoriosi / Unsplash If you request it, a masseuse will come to your room and give you a massage. * Noise Prevention Although some hotels are making efforts to soundproof their rooms, there are times when you may hear a commotion or noise from neighboring guest rooms. Photo by Elyas Pasban / Unsplash If this happens, contact the front desk instead of trying to solve the problem yourself. * Thermometers are available for rent Many hotels allow you to borrow a thermometer if you become ill. Photo by Markus Spiske / Unsplash If you must go to the hospital, ask for a referral to a hospital near the hotel that can provide emergency services. Services for Business Some hotels offer services such as fax and print-out services. If you have any problems on a business trip, check with them. Transportation Services Transportation to/from the nearest airport or train station. Some hotels offer free shuttle service to and from the airport or terminal station. If you wish to use this service, check the official website of the hotel. Please note that some hotels may require reservations and some hotels may not have a sufficient number of round trips, so please check in advance. Umbrella rental It is possible that you may encounter rain on your trip, but you may not have an umbrella with you.... In most cases, umbrellas can be borrowed from the front desk during your stay at the hotel. The number of umbrellas available is limited. Guide to the Surrounding Area Hotels always have maps and pamphlets of the surrounding area. If you ask the staff about places you would like to visit, they will provide you with detailed information. Sometimes you can even get behind-the-scenes information about the area, such as the staff's favorite stores! Meals at hotels In hotels, however, you may not be able to receive meal service unless you choose a meal plan at the time of reservation. Amenities in guest rooms Amenities such as toothbrushes and soaps are often provided in guest rooms. But in some cases, out of consideration for the environment, they are available at the front desk or in the hallway for use only by those who need them. Other Rental Services In most cases, you will find a list of rental services in the desk drawer of your guest room. Check it out when you get to the hotel, you might be surprised what you can borrow! Some hotels do not offer the above services, so if you need them, check in advance. Here we have introduced some of the convenient services that can be provided by hotels. Hotels are bases for sightseeing and business and are also places where you spend a lot of time, so make effective use of their diverse services to make your trip more comfortable.

The seal is truly blackout, doesn’t crush my eyelashes, AND stays put even as a side sleeper. I haven’t experienced what I call “eye sweats” with this mask and I don’t wake up with blurry vision from pressure or lack of airflow to my eyeballs.

Travel Pillow FHSGGP Travel Pillow is made of imitation rabbit fur fabric, filled with enough PP cotton, very soft and comfortable, the fabric has constant temperature properties, warm in winter and cool in summer. The design of the travel pillow is a U-shape. Customer review:   Ok, full disclosure: I did not buy this pillow for its intended use. I used to buy “As Seen On TV” Side Sleeper Pro pillows. But the manufacturer and/or seller of those pillows has apparently given in to greed, succumbing to the lure of cutting the quality while selling for the same or higher price, apparently figuring we’re too stupid to notice. So those pillows I use to loooooove are now (a) not as good as they were (too flat, too lumpy, too small) and (b) impossible to find, either on Amazon or in a store. So. I searched for “u shaped pillow” and this item came up. It works quite well as a side sleeper pillow. For a pillowcase, I use an old pair of flannel pajama pants. -Comics lover from the 70's Price: 39.99 14.

Small fitting for travel and camping -Lightweight and easy to carry -Soft and smooth material -Eco-friendly and self-adjusting -CertiPUR-US/GREENGU Customer review: I LOVE this travel pillow!! I just took it on a 5 week backpacking trip through New Zealand and am in love with it. It is perfect for the plane, and for a GOOD night's sleep, no matter where you are! It fluffs up REALLY full (unlike other travel pillows I've tried), and rolls up nice and compact. In fact, it's so good awesome, I just ordered one for my fiance (who was trying to sleep on a rolled up sweater every night, which sucked compared to my PILLOW!) Oh yeah, and the price is rad too. One note- it did kinda smell like rubber when I received it, but I washed it (in normal washing machine) and dried it and it was good to go. -Andrea Allen Price: 40.00 17.

Call me anal, but I feel better traveling when I feel put together. Plus it’s super useful as a pillow or blanket and doesn’t have to take up room in a bag or dangle off the side or have to be carried around your neck. I travel a lot and have tried all sorts of neck pillows and transporting them is an issue. This is a perfect solution. -HL Price: 28.45 18. Travel Blanket with Pillowcase Bag EasyFluffy Compact Travel Blanket with Pillowcase Bag : Ultra-soft, high quality fabric • Quirky and stylish print • Reversible, with soft and fluffy side • Available in size large EasyFluffy Compact Travel Blanket with Pillowcase Bag – Airplane Travel Essentials for Flying Fleece Blanket. Customer review:   I loved this until it was instantly stolen on Amtrak Pacific Starlight from LA to Portland. I say this because it's too attractive for thieves IMHO. Awesome blanket!One person found this helpful. -MattiePR Price: 21.99 19. Inflatable Luxe Pillow Klymit Luxe Pillow (New) Inflatable travel pillow -Unique inflate/deflate system -Lightweight and portable -Soft and comfortable -Two different firmness levels for neck and head -Color: Blue -Material: Polyester -Weight: 9.8 oz. Customer review: This pillow arrived today and appears high quality. It was easy to inflate. You can adjust to firmness and the cover is soft and nice. So why two stars? Because the air filled inner liner has all kinds of folds. Any movement of your head produces snaps and crackles that bang into your eardrums. I wouldn't buy this pillow again, but at $29 I'm not going to bother sending it back. I also bought a Klymit air mattress that has not arrived yet. Hope it's a better product. UPDATE. June 2019, Used this pillow for camping and the noise making went away. Very comfortable and similar to a standard pillow with very little bulk. Rating increased to five stars. -James C.

Sleep Eye Mask HARPSEAL Sleep Eye Mask Soft is maade with soft, high-density, low-rebound memory foam for a comfortable wear. The upgraded one-piece nose wing solves the light leakage problem reported by customers, blocks out all unwanted light and shuts off brain activity. No more worrying about having to sleep in the dark. Customer review: This eye mask was purchased due to its notes about being especially designed for side sleepers and not allowing sunlight in at those tricky places like the bridge of the nose. It arrived in a sturdy and attractive gift box and came with ear plugs in a clear case with a satiny drawstring bag that holds it all easily. Tissue was even wrapped around the items adding to the mask’s “gift-ability.” As for its effectiveness—light was blocked completely and the mask felt comfortable against my skin. The wide strap was easy to adjust for the perfect fit. However, I did not find that it stayed in place any better than other masks as I lay on my side and, like all other masks I’ve tried, the padding around the eye on the side I lay left a noticeable indention on my face just like any of the other padded masks I’ve tried. -Melanie J. Dulaney Price: 15.99 22. Sleep Mask WAOAW Sleep Mask for Women Men : Superb light blocking - Gentle contours - 3D contoured - Adjustable elastic strap - Travel size - Material: Polyester - Fits most adults Product Name: WAOAW Sleep Mask for Women Men, Eye Mask Sleeping of 3D Light Blocking Blindfold Customer review: Finally, a face mask that stays off your eyes AND blocks all the light! I’m very sensitive to light and need to put on a mask in the early morning to sleep past sunrise. I also occasionally need to sleep during the day to work night shifts, so sleep masks are a must. I started buying the “3D” masks that try to keep the pressure off your eyes, but those tend to let light in around the nose area. This mask not only stays off the eye, but also has an extra strip of material around the nose that blocks out ALL light from entering. -Tye Price: 20.99 You may also be interested in: Falling into the Maple Story 🍁: CanadaWith something for everyone, Canada is a great place to visit no matter what your interests are.Bucktrip三口矛木Suffer from Motion Sickness?To those who like to travel but always worry about motion sickness, we recommend these methods to you.BucktripMELOExplore Pocket Galleries by One SelfLeisurely pace up and down inside a gallery from home.Bucktrip三口矛木

Follow These Steps and Find the Best Travel Companion for You

Follow These Steps and Find the Best Travel Companion for You

Do you need a travel buddy? What is the best travel companion for you? Here is a guideline to find your perfect match on the road. Perhaps many people have heard, that after many years of friends or couples going out to play a trip back, the relationship will be drawn to a close. Travel should be a happy thing, why does it seem to become a big test of a relationship? What kind of travel companion is really suitable for you? You can refer to the following directions: Travel at the same speed I want to leave at 7:00 every day and not come back until I'm exhausted. You want to have breakfast at your place and rest until you feel like you can go out at noon. It is common to see arguments over the difference in the speed of travel. There is no right or wrong travel, only whether it suits you. Before you go, understand each other's expectations and habits, find a travel companion who is on the same frequency as you, or meet early and discuss possible adjustments. The travel budget is similar “ I want to eat a big meal, eat Michelin, isn't the whole point of travel to enjoy and expand your horizons? I just want to go to the supermarket to buy bread or bring a noodle, so I can save as much as I can, no need to spend so much money on a trip. ” The budget is realistic, he will decide a person's consumption, the way to live, eat, transportation options and activities to experience, and so on. Although not everything needs to spend money, travel is really a need for continuous spending. Knowing in advance if the other person's budget is similar to your own can indirectly avoid inconsistencies in making decisions each time you travel. Common hobbies are good It's always easy to be together with like-minded people. “ We both love to listen to concerts, so we can attend, immerse ourselves in, and discuss together during the trip, and we can remember together in the future. ” Because we share the same ideas and interests. More like an additional person to accompany themselves to all their original favorite places. Finding a travel companion with a common interest will always make the trip easy and full of laughter. Different specialties/ interests are also great “ I love classical music, and I love to watch opera when I go abroad. ” “ I'm a fitness fanatic, and I still want to keep moving when I'm abroad. ” Photo by erica steeves / Unsplash “ I have a great sense of direction, but I don't speak the language. ” “ I'm not bad at English, but I can never read maps and directions. ” Photo by Nick Seagrave / Unsplash In fact, travel companions with different expertise and interests can help each other very well and can make their trip more exciting and special. We can help each other, some are good at finding airline tickets, some know a lot about food, you can show me how to experience and learn about opera, and I can play ball together in a different place because of you. The experience is more diverse, and you can do things more efficiently. Don't limit yourself to finding friends with similar interests, it's often nice to be different. Independence and respect can win the day The most important point about travel companions is actually independence and respect. When travel companions are independent enough to travel on their own but choose to travel together; when travel companions understand that there are no two people in the world who are exactly the same, and when each other's decisions and choices are different from their own, they show respect. You will find that no matter when your interests are different, or when your spending choices are different, you can separate temporarily and reunite later. When you meet, you will hear a lot of interesting things and share everything you have experienced. Independent and mutually respectful travel companions can overcome anything.

So here, you can share a little trick. Look for natural frame compositions in the scenery, such as rearview mirrors, windows, doors, stairs full of geometric elements, etc. 3. Learn to natural indoor posing shot In addition to outdoor shooting, We often encounter the trip is full of local characteristics of the hotel room, then learn a little indoor posing is also necessary. An indoor highlight is a casual atmosphere, so clothing is appropriate to take the simple, comfortable style. The best action is to restore the common scenes of daily life, such as reading a book, brushing teeth, etc., which will make the photos full of life's interest. 4. Seize the golden half hour of sunrise and sunset Half an hour before sunrise and half an hour after sunset... is not only highly sought after by landscape photographers, but also extremely suitable for portrait photography, where the sky is most colorful and the sun is not too bright resulting in overexposure of the sky. If you can't get up too early at sunrise, don't miss the beautiful time at sunset and go to take photos. 5. Costumes and props are additional items Spend a little more thought before the trip... You can significantly improve the beauty of the portrait photo degree. Specifically, it is best to have a certain understanding of the local scenery in advance, and with it with clothing. For example, if you want to go to Japan, Taiwan, such a small fresh destination, the best clothing to white, with cotton, and linen as the main.

Use glass reflection Glass reflection is the most common and most easily ignored prop So pay attention to the position of the mirror and reflection when shooting, which can give more meaning to the picture. Need to remind, if the glass is located between the photographer and the model, must be careful not to let the photographer's figure into the picture yo. 8. The impact of silhouette Backlighting silhouettes can improve the impact of the picture through the strong contrast. The pose of people can also be a variety of options from still to movement, the most important thing is that silhouette photos usually do not see the expression of the person, even if you are secretly making a face will not be caught. 9) The back can also tell a story An important component of portrait photography is actually the mood of the photo. Although you can't show the beauty of your face, but often deeper and more charming. In fact, the back can also be very dramatic, adding a little action, such as stretching, will look very cute, and highlight the curves of the beauty of the back, is occasionally reveal a little sexy. 10. Capture the "Light" to catch the shadow Commercial photography is the art of using light. Of course, here we are not saying that you should use up all your money to buy equipment, but once again we emphasize the importance of learning to use light. The use of high contrast between light and dark can highlight the subject and render a unique atmosphere to the scene. Advanced users can even bring their own strobe light to the scene environment for light shaping. Let's meet on Instagram!

Traveling is fun, but for those who suffer from motion sickness, it can be a painful part of an otherwise enjoyable trip.... In this issue, we will introduce measures to prevent motion sickness. Why do people get motion sickness? Humans maintain a sense of balance through the semicircular canals, an organ in the inner ear.The sense of equilibrium captured by the semicircular canals is transmitted to the brain for processing. However, when too much information is transmitted from the semicircular canals to the brain due to the irregular shaking and speed of the vehicle, the brain cannot keep up with the processing and the autonomic nervous system is disturbed, causing motion sickness symptoms such as cold sweats and stomach discomfort. There are individual differences in how the brain processes these symptoms, so some people are more resistant to motion sickness than others, and some people get drunk more quickly. Also, even people who do not normally get motion sickness may be triggered by smells or physical conditions. Now that we have established the causes of motion sickness, let's consider countermeasures. Physical Condition and Condition First of all, take measures by getting yourself in good physical condition! Depending on the measures you take, you may not get car sickness or seasickness, or it may become less severe. 1. Avoid a full stomach and an empty stomach Everything is better on an "eight-pack" stomach! 2. Do not drink too much alcohol the day before or beforehand. It will add motion sickness to alcohol sickness.... 3. Get a good night's sleep the day before. *Lack of sleep is the source of not only carsickness and seasickness, but also physical illness! 4. Wear loose-fitting clothes that do not constrict your body. Be especially careful not to constrict your stomach or waist area, as this will make you more susceptible to sickness! 5. Unwind and relax before boarding! Riding while feeling stiff or sluggish can have a negative impact. Simple stretching and exercises can help! Environment in the Ride Edition Although it may not be flexible due to personal circumstances, try to make the environment as less susceptible to car sickness and seasickness as possible. 6. Avoid smells in the car. *Not only from sight, but smells can also make you more susceptible to sickness. * If you are concerned about this, it is a good idea to put aroma oil of your favorite scent in your mask. 7. Secure the mask to the headrest to prevent head bobbing. Why not prepare a neck pillow sold as a travel item? Mental section Illness starts with the mind.... You may be able to reduce car sickness with your spirit. 8. Do not feel anxious that you might get drunk, or assume that you are easily intoxicated. Anxiety leads to a disturbance of the autonomic nervous system. I'm taking precautions so I won't get drunk! And tell yourself that you will not get drunk. 9. Listen to music to relax. To avoid thinking about unnecessary things, it is recommended to relax by listening to music. Behaviors Here are some behaviors to avoid or do when riding a vehicle. 10. Sit in the direction of travel and look in the direction of travel as much as possible. It is easy to feel sick if you sit with your back to the direction of travel. On airplanes, seats face only in the direction of travel, but on trains, when four people are seated facing each other, they will fight over the seats that face the direction of travel. 11. Avoid putting sour food in your mouth as much as possible. It is unlikely that you will directly eat lemon in the train, but even candy or juice can affect you, so be careful.And beware of orange juice from in- flight service! 12. Refrain from eating and drinking. Lunch boxes, snacks, carbonated beverages, coffee, soup, etc. can cause carsickness and seasickness. On the other hand, tea, water, mints, etc. can be refreshing and may be effective for car sickness/seasickness. 13. Do not concentrate on playing mobile games or reading. Staring at a single point makes you more susceptible to sickness. It is even more dangerous to follow fast-moving objects such as cell phone games with your eyes. Try not to keep your eyes close to the screen, but rather look vaguely into the distance. 14. It is often possible to stay sober if you fall asleep immediately after getting on a vehicle. Pay attention to your boarding position! The biggest cause of motion sickness is "shaking. Be aware that it depends on the position you sit in even if you ride the same vehicle. 15. Choose a seat that is less likely to sway. * Bus Photo by Herson Rodriguez / Unsplash ✅ Seat position is right above the front wheel and right above the rear wheel. ❌ Seat directly above the front wheel and above the rear wheel. * Since shaking occurs from the large tires, seats away from the tires have the least amount of shaking. * Airplane Photo by Sonia Nadales / Unsplash ❌ Around the center of gravity slightly forward of the center of the aircraft ❌ Rear part of the aircraft * The center of gravity is in the front, so the rear part of the plane will sway more. * The area above the wings does not allow passengers to enjoy the scenery, which also affects sickness. * Ship Photo by Alonso Reyes / Unsplash ✅ Opposite to airplanes, in the back (aft), as close to the surface of the sea as possible. ❌ Forward (bow), away from the surface of the sea, on the second or third floor, on the roof deck, etc. * Ships are subjected to waves from the front, so the front part of the ship will sway, while the back part will be more stable. What to do if you get drunk If you get drunk even after taking precautions, you want to relieve the symptoms as much as possible. 16. Bite the area around the first joint of your thumb for about 15 seconds, with enough force to be slightly painful. 17. The slightly concave area on the back of the hand between the thumb and index finger is a pressure point for motion sickness. It is also effective when pressed for prevention. 18. If symptoms are mild, change your mood by talking or stretching. 19. Open a window to get a cool breeze. If you are on a ship, go out on the deck and enjoy the breeze. 20. Gaze at a distant view or something that doesn't change much. 21. Keep your head still and cool it down. 22. Loosen your clothes. Last resort You can try this but try not to rely too much. 23. Rely on anti-sickness medicine. It is not advisable to rely too much on medicine, but it is recommended for those who have not been able to avoid carsickness or seasickness in spite of all measures taken so far. For those who have hesitated to travel because they are worried about motion sickness! Please give them a try.

You Dropped Your Phone In Water...Here's What To Do

You Dropped Your Phone In Water...Here's What To Do

The most common cause of smartphone failure is submersion in water. In recent years, smartphones such as the iPhone have enhanced waterproofing, but it is not perfect. Some people may have memorable photos, messages, and even work data on their phones. If the screen is damaged, there is a chance that the data can be retrieved, but if the phone is submerged in water, the possibility of data loss increases. No matter how careful you are, problems can still occur. During a trip, you will have more opportunities to use your phone to take pictures and search for local information than usual. To prepare for unexpected problems, here are some measures you can take on your own, in addition to taking your phone to a store. Actually... Your phone is not completely waterproof! The latest iPhone 7 and later models, as well as the latest smartphones from various companies, are splash-proof, water-resistant, and dust-proof, but they are not completely waterproof. The manufacturer's published waterproof performance assumes fresh water at room temperature, so seawater, showers, etc. are not covered due to salt content, water temperature, water pressure, and other adverse conditions. In addition, there seems to be a degradation of performance after years of use, so it is best not to use the product in situations where there is a risk of submersion in water. If your phone is submerged in water, The first thing you should do is To deal with the situation. The majority of the causes of phone damage due to submersion in water are short circuits and corrosion of the base. If you submerge your phone in water, here are some measures you should take in the hope of reviving it. 1.  Never turn on the power! If it is turned on, turn it off as soon as possible, even for a second. First, remove it from the water as soon as possible and turn off the power. 2. Wipe off the water Use a dry towel to gently wipe off the moisture from the main unit. Do not shake it when wiping it off. There is a risk of water droplets getting further inside. After wiping off the water, you can also dry the smartphone by placing silica gel, which is used as a desiccant for sweets and other items, in a Ziploc bag. 3. Open all lids and covers that can be opened Remove covers, caps, and cases, and take out the battery, SIM card, microSD, etc. and place in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight to dry. If it is an iPhone, it may dry faster if the Lightning connector is exposed to the wind. When opening the lid and cover, be careful not to allow water droplets to get inside. 4. Immediately wipe the SIM Wipe off the moisture, wrap it in a tissue and store it carefully! The SIM card contains important information such as the phone number and a pimped-out identification number. Depending on the model, the SIM card may contain data such as a phone book, so be sure to store it carefully so that you do not lose it. 5. Use a tissue to absorb moisture from the holes If there is moisture in the headphone jack, charger socket, or Lightning connector on the iPhone, wipe it off gently. A phone that has been submerged in water may not be able to start up and data may be lost. However, depending on how to deal with the situation, it may be possible to rescue the data alone. On the other hand, there are some measures that should never be taken, and if you do, you may lose the possibility of data rescue. Here, we have picked up some "Incorrect Methods" 1. Try to turn on the power For the time being, is tempting to see if the power turns on after submerging, but to prevent short circuits, never turn on the power. In the case of the iPhone and other models that cannot be disconnected from the battery pack, if the power is on, turn it off as soon as possible, even if only for a second. Remove all SIM cards and SD cards. 2. Turn the power on and off repeatedly. Repeating turning the power on and off is not a good idea, since energizing a wet base can cause a short circuit. 3. Charge the battery Charging the battery is a terrible idea! It is very dangerous and may cause electric shock, so never do it! 4. Drying with a hair dryer Many people think of using a hair dryer to dry their phones, based on the idea of using a hair dryer to dry their hair. However, the base and components used inside the phone are very sensitive to heat, so drying the phone with a hair dryer's hot air may cause damage to the base. If you use a hair dryer, the possibility of damage to the base is very high. If you use a hair dryer, be sure to use cold air. 5. Shake the phone After picking up the device, you will want to shake it to see if water has gotten inside device. And don't you think of shaking the phone to let the water blow away? However, this is not the way to do it. Shaking the device may cause the water inside the device to move to the base of the device that is not flooded. Thereby, there is a risk of causing further serious damage. Put the device in a ziplock and put silica gel in it. When searching the Internet for ways to deal with this problem, this silica gel method is often found. First, remove the cover and wipe off the moisture thoroughly. Put the phone in a bag, insert silica gel into the bag, and use a straw or something to release the air inside. At this time, be sure to turn off the power. It is better to put more silica gel in the bag. This is a nice idea, as the silica gel absorbs moisture and dries out the phone when it is left in the bag for several days. Be careful never to get silica gel wet, as it generates heat itself when wet. As a substitute for silica gel, commercially available "moisture removers" such as Mizutorizosan and, surprisingly, rice can take the place of silica gel in removing moisture. Many people have revived it by burying it in a rice bin. Purchase anti-submergence goods in advance. If you are going to participate in the ocean, a swimming pool, or an outdoor event, it is recommended to get anti-submergence goods in advance. First aid items such as "Desiccant packs for smartphones, cell phones, and digital devices" and "Revivaphone Repair Kits" are available. The "Revivaphone Repair Kit" is an item that removes minerals from the base of a phone that has been submerged in water by dipping it in a special liquid, thereby preventing it from malfunctioning. In addition, it may be better to give up on resurrection if any of the following apply... When your phone is dropped in seawater, washed in a washing machine, splashed with juice, etc., it is worth remembering the first aid measures in case of emergencies. However, what we have introduced are only first aid measures. Even if your phone is restored, it is still damaged inside. There is a possibility that it may suddenly break after a while. We recommend that you take your phone to a store for repair or inspection as soon as possible. It is also a good idea to back up your data frequently so that it can be restored.

How to Survive Airport Security?

How to Survive Airport Security?

Do you always feel uneasy when going through security checkpoints at airports before your flight departs? Here are some Airport Security Checkpoint strategies. Just clear these and you're good to go! When you walk through the security gate, or when your baggage goes through the metal detector, and the alarm goes "beep, beep, beep, beep! When the alarm goes off, you wonder what you have caught! However, security checkpoints are not scary as long as you check your baggage carefully. Let's check what you should pay attention to at security checkpoints so that you can pass through with impunity. This article introduces the case of domestic flights. How long before I have to pass through? Each airline has its own cutoff time for passing through security checkpoints. Especially in the case of LCCs, boarding gates are often located far from security checkpoints. Please be aware that the deadline is earlier for LCCs because the boarding gates are often farther away from the security checkpoints and it is expected to take more time. For JAL, ANA, and Skymark, the deadline is 20 minutes before departure. Peach and Jetstar: 25 minutes before departure. This is the "deadline" time. Rushing in at the last minute can cause trouble. It is better to pass through the security checkpoint with plenty of time to spare, then relax on a bench near the boarding gate and spend the time until departure in a graceful manner. Measures to Prevent Transmission of the New Coronavirus At some airports, body temperature checks are conducted near the entrance to security checkpoints. Since the temperature is taken by thermography, you do not need to wait in line, but if you are stopped by an officer, follow their instructions. If you run through the airport just before the deadline, your body temperature will temporarily rise, and you may be stopped and not be able to make it in time... This can cause problems, so please allow plenty of time to get to the security checkpoint. Also, you will have more chances to come in contact with things at the security checkpoint as you move your baggage in and out. Hand sanitizer is available at the security checkpoint, so be sure to disinfect your hands in a timely manner. Items that must not be worn when passing through the metal detector The following items may not be worn or carried in your pockets while passing through the gate. Put them in your bag or on the tray provided at the security checkpoint before passing through the gate. * Electronic devices such as smartphones, digital cameras, earphones, watches, etc. * Wallets * Metal items such as accessories * Other metal items in your pockets (coins, keys, digital cameras, smoking accessories, small items, etc.) * Belts with large metal buckles or metal ornaments * Boots that cover the heels If your cell phone, keys, wallet, etc. are in your bag to be inspected as hand luggage, you do not need to take them out. You do not need to take out the items in your jacket pockets either, as they will be taken off and put through the inspection. If you prepare them by rummaging around in the inspection area, it will take a long time and the pressure from people behind you may gradually increase.... By putting them in your bag in advance, you can shorten the time it takes to get ready before and after inspection, and prevent forgetting to pick them up after inspection. Although it is not highly likely to happen on domestic flights, zippers on hoodies and other clothing may react, so it may be better to take them off. If there is a metal reaction with the metal detector, you will be re-inspected. You will be instructed to go through a contact inspection (body check), remove your footwear (shoes), belts, items in your pockets, etc., and go through the gate again. Items to be removed from your bag and checked The following items will not be allowed to pass through the X-ray process without being removed from your bag. If you leave the following items in your bag and let them pass through the X-ray, they will be checked again. Therefore, please remove the following items from your bag and place them on a tray to be checked separately before passing through the X-ray. * PCs and tablets * Water bottles, tumblers, PET bottles * Sprays * Hair irons * Smoking lighters Water bottles, tumblers, and other beverages will be checked by opening the lid and checking the smell or taking a sip in front of a staff member. Even if they are empty, they will be checked, so take them out of your bag. Unopened PET bottles will be passed through an X-ray machine, and if the attendant can see it, it is OK! If you have any of the above items to be taken out of your bag, put them together in advance so that they can be easily removed before proceeding to the security checkpoint. Items that are not allowed in carry-on baggage The following items must be checked in at the airport counter. In other words, these items will be caught at the security checkpoint and cannot be carried on board as carry-on baggage. * Knives (scissors, cutters, etc.) * Pointed objects/ bats (e.g., pincers, golf clubs, baseball bats, etc.) If any of the above items are found at the security checkpoint, they will not be accepted as carry-on baggage. If any of the above items are found at the security checkpoint, they will not be checked in at the security checkpoint. You must either dispose of them as abandoned items or return to the airline counter and re-check them in or return to the airline counter and re-check the baggage. One last check! Are you prepared in advance? At the entrance to the security checkpoints, there are also signs for prohibited items and items that must not be brought through the security checkpoint. There are also signs at the entrance to the security checkpoints that list prohibited items and items that are not allowed to pass through. Please make sure to check it again. Important! When passing through the security checkpoint, each passenger will need a terminal displaying an airline ticket or barcode. If you are too nervous about going through the security checkpoints, you may be asked to bring your ticket or barcode. If you are nervous about going through security checkpoints, you may not be able to remove any items you are wearing or take out of your bag. Some people are so nervous about going through security checkpoints that they forget where they put their tickets and barcodes. Many people forget where they put their tickets and have to search for them. This can cause problems for the people behind you, so be sure to have your ticket ready at hand. It is important to have your ticket ready at hand. Some people may think this is a complicated process, but it is not. Security checkpoints are an important fortress to protect our safety in the sky. If you pay attention to the information presented here, you will have nothing to fear at security checkpoints! There is nothing to be afraid of at the security checkpoints! You can go through security checkpoints with confidence. All you have to do is follow the flow of the security checkpoint and the guidance of the security personnel. You will pass through the security checkpoint smoothly.

Its not cheap but I have survived 110' heat without passing out or heat stroking. Also have friends that have used it and they are very surprised it stays cold so long. Ice cubes melt so fast but not this. Its worth the money if your outside and it recharges fast with cold water in a cooler with ice!  -kalea Price: 249.00 21. Mini Spray Bottles 6 pack of mini spray bottles, 2oz/50ml, Clear Empty Fine Mist Plastic, Small Refillable Liquid Containers, 2pcs Funnels and 24pcs Labels Customer Review: I are real happy with these 2oz bottles. We put hand sanitizer in them and keep them with us. Due to the shortage we could only find hand sanitizer in 2 liter bottles. We bought the 6 bottle pack that comes with labels and tiny funnels. We found this very handy. -Kevin L Price: 8.99 22. Chemical Resistant Spray Bottles Chemical resistant, long lasting durability: resistant to most solvents, acids and chemicals - Premium chemical resistance: resists most solvents, acids and chemicals - Ultrafine mist: delivers an ultrafine mist to reduce overspray and mess Customer Review: I never thought I'd ever write a review for a spray bottle. However, this one deserves the five star rating. It feels very different, more solid, to use than cheap spray bottles and I'm confident that it will last. I use a homemade beach solution for cleaning my kitchen. Cheap sprayers don't last more than a couple of months. This one is going strong. -macs_ Price: 14.99 You may also be interested in: Summer Special: Kendall Jenner’s Tropical Vacation Bikini CollectionPost your feeds like Kendall Jenner this summer.BucktripMELOSurfing on the Richest Coast 🏄‍: Costa RicaFrom one inch more to the sky to the heart of the ocean, you know the richest coast has it all.Bucktrip三口矛木A Trip Greeted with Waves8 Hotels with Sea Views in Jeju.BucktripDewey

Enjoy leisure time with your kids on long flights with these 21 products

Seize the Peaceful Moments on the Fly. 1. Car Seat Trays Carry-on size fits all airplane seats - Fits most car seats with easy installation - Features a dry erase board and tablet holder - Holds drinks, snacks, and tablets - Sits flat when not in use Kids Travel Tray - Safe and lightweight - Durable and comfortable Customer Review: The product was pretty well as described. Where it really won for me was simply helping to contain toys and snacks from falling behind and off the sides of the airplane tray table (for which it was a tad large but not unusable). My five-year-old could play/watch the tablet while having his drink and snacks secured, and my two-year-old could play with his toy dump trucks and Play-Doh rocks without them falling off the sides constantly. They both folded up decently to fit along with the other books and toys in my carry-on bag. May be a lot for a short flight but definitely contributed to an easier travel day for us. -mc Price: 28.99 2. Pillani LCD Writing Tablet - 10"x7.5" LCD Writing Tablet for kids - Comes with 8 drawing pens - Includes a pen holder - Includes a stylus - Includes a carrying case - Includes a blank white board - Comes with a 1-year warranty Customer Review: My 3yr old daughter loves this drawing tablet! The box came nicely packaged and wrapped in foam. There is a on/off switch on the back, just in case you think it doesnt work check the switch on back first. It also has a lanyard hole, to place a leash on it so it doesnt fall out of seat or stroller. It comes with lithium coin battery and has a removable slot to replace the battery. Its larger than a previous smaller one we purchased, she prefers the big one now more, as it sits across her lap better. -longboarder Price: 11.95 3. Activity book The deMoca Quiet Book is designed to stimulate learning through sensory activities and touch. - Includes a burp cloth, a sensory toy and a mini book. - A perfect preschool learning toy for babies and toddlers. - Features 9 Montessori toddler activities, helps kids natural learning through play. Customer Review:   I love the activity book! I just got it and since it was Thanksgiving Weekend I haven’t had a chance to show it to the grandchild I had in mind when I bought it, a 2 year old. I want her to have it for car rides and church. But my older grandkids were here for two days, ages 3, 5, and 6. And they were totally fascinated by it. I was surprised that they actually needed help learning to button, zip, and snap! I’m glad I bought it and I’m sure it will be something they look forward to playing with at Grammys house!  -Arlene Zawko Price: 34.95 4. Car Seat Travel Bag for Airplane Keeps car seat in a safe place - Opens like a book for easy loading and unloading - Protects the car seat from damage - Airline approved - Fits convertible car seats, infant carriers, and booster seats - Made of durable, lightweight material - Conveniently folds Customer Review: Fit nicely over my doona stroller/ car seat combo.

HahaGift Toys You get 3 magic books with 3 pre-printed pages and 3 blank pages. (3D sticker, water pen, and 3D sticker) -Magic book A: -The first pre-printed page shows a dinosaur. The second pre-printed page shows a whale. Customer Review: These are great little drawing books! Love the fact that they are mess free and keep my toddler busy for hours! Very very easy to use, just fill the pen with water and draw! We use it a lot when my daughter is in the carseat so she doesn’t get bored.Love it and would purchase again  -Svetlana V Price: 13.99 6.

Mommy friend told me baby is OBSESsED!! Great success! -Danny b Price: 33.90 8. Sticker Book (My Little World) 1. This book has 10 pages. 2. Each page features bright, bold illustrations. 3. This book has 1 to 10 stickers. 4. The number of stickers on the page matches the number in the upper right corner. 5. This book is for children who are learning to count. Customer Review: I bought this book with the intention of turning it into a reusable teaching material. I laminated the stickers and add Velcro rounds to them so that they are reusable. An extra benefit of adding Velcro to the stickers is that I can now use it to teach addition and subtraction as the stickers can now be easily removed from the page. My 2.5 year old had lots of fun counting and doing subtraction with it. This book is perfect for my purpose because the pages are thick and do not crumple when pulling the Velcro rounds off. -Oxydozyga Price: 3.99 9. Busy Cube Encourages children's sense of discovery, imagination and creativity.  A real toolbox with screws, bolts, nuts and gears.  Contains chalkboard, water tap and switch.  Material: Durable natural wood - Dimensions: 9.2 x 9.2 x 9.2 inches Customer Review:     I was skeptical about this cube, but it has managed to repeatedly keep my one year old occupied for a great length of time, which as any parent knows, doesn’t happen easily. I love that it is big enough so that his hands can easily handle it. Also, the keys that can attached are chained on, which I appreciated for safety reasons. It has also been dropped a lot and it has held up with no damage - Jamber Price: 13.59 10. Rainbow Scratch Paper Sets 59pcs Rainbow Scratch Paper Set - 3 different colors: Red, Yellow, Blue - Made of premium paper, durable and long-lasting - Great for travel and on the go - A toy, drawing pad, and play mat - Perfect for children and adults of all ages Customer Review: I used this in my son’s party favor boxes and it was a hit!

Great product. -Rose Price: 7.94 12. Coogam Travel Tangram Puzzle Coogam is an award-winning company dedicated to the production of educational toys and puzzles. This Magnetic Pattern Block Book is a Tangram puzzle, which is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. Customer Review: I wanted something small that I can work with while eating breakfast or hanging out. This hit the mark! I wanted the one that came with two sets of magnets, but am glad I didn’t get it. There is not enough space to work if a second set is there. The magnetic page and pieces are SUCH a help. Makes it super easy to work with. This is perfect just the way it is. Note: I bought this for myself, and it is challenging even for an adult.  -S. Donahue Price: 13.99 13. Hidden Pictures Book Hidden Pictures: The Hardest Book Ever 1,500 total objects to find Featuring more than 1,500 total objects to find, this book of puzzles and brain teasers is a fun and engaging way for kids to exercise their minds. Customer Review:   So many of these books are too easy for this age level, but this book contained really challenging hidden pictures and kept family members busy for quite a while. During our birthday party, I looked up and there was my 40 year old son, 12, 9 & 6 year old great grandchildren on the floor with this book, all working together trying to resolve the hidden pictures. It was a winner.  -lalalaso Price: 6.27 14.

Disposable Diaper Pail Munchkin Toss is the perfect solution for on-the-go diaper disposal. Each durable, freestanding pail holds up to 30 newborn diapers. A resealable lid with odor-trapping panels keep stink and wetness contained. Customer Review: So my munchkins are 4 legged pooping machines. We recently downsized to a very small yard and we have to collect poop daily. These little pails do a great job of keeping the garage from stinking to high heaven. They hold over a week of poo bags for two medium sized dogs. I considered getting a litter genie or a diaper pail but wasn’t sure about the extra room and effort of dealing with the liners. This is the perfect compromise. I also keep one of these in the trunk of my car as an impromptu garbage pail for road trips.  -Fuji Price: 14.99 16. Ear Protection for Babies and Toddlers Alpine Muffy baby ear protection for babies and toddlers up to 36 months old. These ear muffs are designed to be comfortable and prevent hearing damage. - Baby ear muffs protect your infant from loud sound - Alpine Muffy ear protection is comfortable and easy to wear - Soft padding Customer Review: These are great for infant or newborn size babies. They are easily adjustable and come with an extra strap for different sizes as they grow. They block most of the noise. My boy didn't flinch once while watching his dad shoot. Highly recommend these. 👍🏻👍🏻💯  -dltseed Price: 29.99 17. 4-Piece Twist Lock Stackable Containers 1. 2-layer twist and lock stacking container with airtight seal 2. Clear and sturdy plastic and convenient for storage and carry Customer Review: I love this. I'm trying to lose weight, and this also helps me with portion control for my snacks. I'm getting more for my husband, mom, and sister. -Niq Sedillo Price: 14.99 18. Disposable Bibs Bibsters disposable bibs include a patented crumb catcher, which keeps food and drinks off baby’s clothes. - Bibsters disposable bibs are made with a leak-proof liner and come with a reusable fastener, so they can be adjusted to fit your baby’s neck size Customer Review: This little bugger is leaking like crazy from his mouth. Drool everywhere. but these disposable bibs... They helped with managing the whole situation. Given, at five and a half months old, we had to swap out disposable bibs about every 90 minutes or so. And the waterproof backing on them definitely kept his shirt dry. Made traveling with baby so much easier. Will definitely be buying these again next time we travel or are going to be out for longer than usual. -Oscar B Chacon Price: 12.43 19. Travel Foot Rest Pillow The Airplane Footrest Pillow is a must-have for people who travel a lot and want to make the long trip more comfortable. With this inflatable footrest pillow, you can take a break and relax on your travels. Customer Review: I used on an international trip and help a lot! Specifically because I was traveling with my infant on my arms. So it added some comfort to be able to raise my legs when he was sleeping on me.  -Duplo Comando Price: 19.99 20. Britax Car Seat Travel Cart The Britax Car Seat Travel Cart is a must-have for traveling with your child in a car seat. -For use with infant car seats only -Folds compactly for storage and transport -Adjustable handle with push-button height adjustment -Fits conveniently in the overhead bin of an airplane Customer Review: We are so in love!!! It's the best purchase I've made in a long time. I have a graco car seat and it worked perfectly!

Portable UV Light Sanitizer Box Portable UV Light Sanitizer Box ,Clean 99.99%+harmful substance of from pacifiers and bottle nipples in 59 seconds with using UV-C led(UV-C led- Long life and more efficiently) Customer Review: I bought two of these, one for my daughter's family and one for my son's family. Both have babies learning about object permance, as the peditrician call it. I think they're just learning that Nana can be turned into a life-size jack-in-the-box. Needless to say when the kids are in this developmental stage during an international pandemic, it's helpful to have a sanitizer when you are out and can't rinse them before your child puts one in her mouth. -Amazon Customer Price: 22.99 You may also be interested in: Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker 🦾: Berlin“What does not kill me makes me stronger” | Berlin, the city with vibrant culture, cutting-edge architecture, intense parties and tangible history.BucktripSandra EdwardsA Trip Greeted with Waves8 Hotels with Sea Views in Jeju.BucktripDewey ShermanUnder the Roofing of Aurora6 Cozy Chalet Hotels in Rovaniemi.BucktripDewey Sherman

These products keep your road trip Safe and Fun when driving with your toddlers and kids. 1. Back Seat Car Organizer The perfect car seat organizer for families on the go -Keep your back seat clutter-free with this fun and functional car organizer -Great for backseat activities and snacks, or just to keep your car neat Customer Review: This thing is great. I originally just wanted something to tidy up the back of the seat. This has a USB hub which I just run the cord under the seat up to the front and it makes it a lot easier for the kids to plug-in their stuff in the second row. It works great.  -Christopher Price: 36.99 2. Travel Pillow Seat belt pillow for kids - Made from safe, durable, and eco-friendly materials -Cushion is easy to clean and machine washable -Super soft and high quality -Protects from neck pain and reduces stress on the spine -Fits in most Customer Review: My daughter always falls asleep in the car if we are traveling over 30 minutes. This has worked great to support her neck and head. She loves that it's pink! It's a perfect size for her (1st grade).  -TKC4419 Price: 9.99 3. Backseat Travel Tray Organizer Organizes crayons, markers, and other supplies -Holds an iPad or Kindle (not included) -Great for road trips and travel -Can also be used as lap tray to write or as a surface to use electronics on -Make a hole in the PVC cover for a headset Customer Review: Where were these all my parenthood?!? I have a five year old and an eight year old. We take a 10 - 16 hour road trip at least once a year. We don't do screen time for our kids during road trips, but rather dole out different travel activities like books, hidden pictures, little white boards, sticker books, etc... These trays were a huge help! Having a surface to use for their activities was super convenient. The pockets stored pencils and crayons and were handy to keep their masks in so we knew right where they were for bathroom and food stops. These also made great "tables" for fast food meals. I posted a photo of the kids with these on my Facebook and all my friends went nuts asking what they were. I only wish I'd found them years ago! -Stephanie Hogue Price: 29.98 4. Disposable Instant Potty for Kids Zensuno Emergency Foldable Portable Disposable Hygienic Instant Potty for Kids Toddlers Small Children and Babies, Great for Road Trip, Camping, Traveling, Hiking and Car Essential (3 Pack, Age 4-6) Customer Review: We just moved to a state that has almost no public bathrooms near playgrounds. We have these foldable potties in each car/stroller in case our newly trained boy needs to go number 2. They set up within 15seconds and are sturdy enough to withhold one big use. We opened one to make sure we know how to set it up, but it is self-explanatory. We have not yet needed it, but they have given us peace of mind. Once we run low, we will re-order. Excellent product to have with a toddler. -misspool Price: 21.90 5. Car Headrest Pillow 1. Memory foam U shape sleep travel protection, 2. Memory foam cushion, 3. Leather black, 4. Hook, 5.

The Noggle Heavy Duty, Durable Exterior - Built to Withstand the Rigors of the Road -Tethers to Your Vehicle's Air Vent - No Tools Needed -No More Sweaty or Uncomfortable Kids or Pets! Customer Review: Works great in our Rav4. I got the 8 foot one, but would prefer 10 feet for the way I used it. I passed it under the passenger seat (rather than over) so it uses a little extra length than going over the Armrest, but it's not out and in the way. This keeps the back cooler, and our toddler can aim it away when too cold (or just toss it to the floor and we have to retieve it later when needed...)  -T.M. Price: 72.56 7. Baby Backseat Mirror for Car The Lusso Gear Baby Backseat Mirror will allow you to see your little passenger in their car seat from the front driver's seat. - Large and stable mirror for easily viewing your baby in the backseat. - The mirror is secure and shatterproof. - The mirror is compatible with most car Customer Review: This is my first baby mirror but I’m pretty sure it’s one of the best. Very clear reflection and super easy to install. Also, I appreciated that they reached out to make sure we received our paw mage on time and that we were satisfied. A+ customer service!!! I’ll be purchasing a second one for my husbands car. -Kellie Ugwu Price: 23.95 8. Baby's Full Body Support Pillow Soft and cozy body pillow for infants - Protects your baby's head, arms, back, and legs from hard surfaces - Ergonomic back and neck support - Designed to be used in car seat, stroller, and booster seat - Keeps your baby comfortable and cozy Customer Review:   My baby does not like the carseat so we had to get him this full body comfort support padding and he loves the carseat now. 😀 We have used this for a minute since we got it and its still in good condition its reversable also. And it supports the head the arms have bumper padding and the legs have bumper padding. We love it for our little man. 5 stars!!! Thank You && God Bless  -hristopher Goins Price: 22.99 9. Baby Head Support for Car Seat Keeps baby’s head from falling forward and helps cradle the head and neck. -Perfect for a quick nap or for a long journey. -The head support can be used with a car seat, stroller, or pram. -A must-have for any parent of a baby Customer Review: My 4.5 year old always falls asleep during road trips, and when she wakes up, she complains about her neck hurting from her head falling forward. I can only recline her car seat so far when she's forward facing in order to keep her safe, so when we planned out summer road trip, I was determined to find something that would help her. I bought this strap AND a neck pillow so she'd have some choices to try out. She didn't like the neck pillow at all, so that was a waste. With the strap, we just waited until she fell asleep, then slipped this over her forehead to support her head while she was sleeping. Success! She loves this so much. She even started asking us if we'd please put the strap on as soon as she was sleeping. I bought a 2nd one for my 2.5 year old so we'll have one for each of them next time!  -Lauren O. Price: 5.99 10.

Car Seat Organizer A Car Seat Organizer and Cooler for the Front or Back Seat – versatile organizer keeps kids entertained in the back and driving and work essentials organized in the front. The High Road CarHop Car Seat Organizer features pockets for snacks, cups, and games. Customer Review: It finally arrived! The shipping was slow but the bin is great! Can't be more happy about it. It holds every thing and has numerous pockets or zipper bags to keep every small trinkets in organize. I ordered a large size and put it between two car seats in the middle row in an eight seats minivan. It fits perfectly. The space divider in the large compartment is adjustable, you can place it anywhere you like. Cup holder is big enough to hold 21oz bottles which usually will not fit in a regular cup holder. I used to have a Diono car storage box. This one is much bigger and sturdier! Love it !  -Amazon Customer Price: 39.99 12. Coloring & Activity Book For Kids Our Road Trip Essentials Kids Coloring & Activity Book for Kids was designed to keep kids engaged and happy when traveling.

Infant to Toddler Car Seat Transform to 4 different modes - Cup holder - Harness retainer clips - 2-position recline - Removable infant head support - 5-point harness - Machine washable Customer Review: Moved out kiddo into this car seat a little over a year old as she was outgrowing her infant seat. The adjustments were super easy to make so it fits her like a glove! We have the non-DLX version as well and the modifications they made to this DLX version are nice, but not a must. The cover does remove much easier, the center strap/button is in a better place to ensure a snug fit and makes releasing the shoulder straps easier. For the easy release and tighten reason, we wish we had 2 of the DLX versions but if your budget is tight the non-DLX is equally secure and easy to manipulate.  -Astro21 Price: 263.99 14. Backless Booster Car Seat Meets or exceeds US car seat safety standards (FMVSS 213); - The Graco 4Ever 4-in-1 car seat is an all-in-one car seat that provides the right fit for your child as they grow, from infancy to age 10 Customer Review: We were in a head on car accident last night and our boys were in these booster seats. While I'm sure the fact we were in a solid vehicle helped these seats withstood impact, no cracks and the boys had no major injuries.  -Amazon Customer Price: 28.99 15. Infant Car Seat The SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite Infant Car Seat is made for infants from 4-35 lbs and up to 32" in height. The anti-rebound bar provides an additional layer of safety and includes a five-point harness. Customer Review: No Need to look anymore Mama! - Pros - Looks super comfy, and very secure. The car seat is very easy to install and take out of the base. Very, very nice quality material! Cons - There is not ONE thing I dislike about this car seat. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Infant Car Seat and Stroller The world’s only car seat and stroller with a built-in mesh privacy shade that adapts to all modes - on the infant car seat or stroller, in both toddler or carriage mode. The only travel system of its kind that can do all that. - Built-in mesh privacy Customer Review: Absolutely love this combo system. Very light weight compared to the last stroller/car seat combo I had to use (which was 15 yrs ago!) I remember them being so big & bulky...as well as heavy. This product is NOT that. Very sleek & stylish and the light grey is a beautiful neutral color. Very pleased with the ease of this stroller/car seat!  -amanda gonzalez Price: 345.99 17.

I am a cashier at a local grocery store. I work six to seven hours a day and this fan lasts the length of my day. I have tried several other fans that are rechargeable and they do not last but about 3 hours. I have recommended this fan to my co-workers. I am very pleased with this particular fan.  -Sherry Price: 26.99 18.

Card Game for Kids A fun and unique combination of a scavenger hunt and a card game, the Travel Scavenger Hunt for Kids from University Games is great fun on a car trip. Kids love whiling away the miles searching for the objects found on the cards. Customer Review: This game is SO MUCH FUN! My 8 year old used to complain about being bored in the car. After we get tired of telling her to look out the window, we usually hand her the iPad to keep herself entertained. But now we have this awesome game! We keep it in the back seat and play any time our car trips last more than 30 minutes or so. We usually pair up so the driver can play too. We all end up laughing and being silly...it truly creates some wonderful family memories. Even my 17 year old enjoys playing! I wish there was an expansion pack.  -MommaKess Price: 9.99 21. Road Trip Bingo This game have 4 compact boards for easy travel - 6 different board patterns - 48 card numbers - 6 double-sided cards - Loaded with family fun and laughter - Play with up to 4 players Customer Review: Gave it to my 2 grand children b4 they left for a 12hr ride to visit family ion Thanksgiving! Worked out great , better than sitting like zombies watching their DVD player for the whole trip ! Great to make the family interact during a long car ride ! -MAUREEN ENGLE Price: 13.99 22. Baby Changing Pad The ONLY pad that leaves you one hand to hold baby, and the other for their changing mat for a quick nimble change! - Compact, lightweight, and durable, the Lil Fox Portable Diaper Changing Pad is a must for any home with a baby! - The Lil Fox is a must-have Customer Review: As a mother of a little boy that would turn into a little sprinkler everytime you took his diaper off, this saved me from a lot of clean up. Instead of having to wash a blanket or scrub the couch or wash a changing pad cover after he would pee everywhere, all I had to do was wipe off the changing pad and it was done. I know it's meant for travel, but I keep one in the living room stocked with diapers and wipes. Extremely handy, I never have to get up and go to his room just to do a quick diaper change. I can fit up to 10 diapers in this and a full pack of wipes. -Molly Price: 22.99 23. Clean Conscious Diapers Super Stretchy Sides with flex + strength for those wiggles + wobbles -Quilted Bubble Liner quickly draws wetness away for dryness you can touch -Diaper Duty Wetness Indicator because it’s nice to know when your baby has gone Customer Review: When people say they smell when dirty like it's a bad thing I laugh! I want it to smell so I know my baby has gone! We are not checking every single moment, so the smell is important. The sooner we know the sooner our baby is not sitting in a dirty diaper. Plus the reason why other diapers don't smell is because of the toxic chemicals on the diapers used too hide the smell. These diapers are GREAT! If you want a cute and nontoxic diaper that doesn't coast an arm and a leg than these are perfect! Been using almost from day one with our little girl!  -Christian Price: 48.44 You may also be interested in: Bayou City? Space City?

Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Japan is a country with a rich cultural heritage dating back centuries, which can be experienced by visitors through traditional arts, crafts, architecture, and cuisine, include calligraphy, origami, ikebana, and kimono and for sure, matcha and sushi. Japan is probably the easiest place to get around. You can do a whole trip using nothing but its immaculate, efficient public transport. The shinkansen (bullet train) network now runs all the way from the southern tip of Kyūshū (the southernmost of Japan's major islands) up to Hokkaidō (its northernmost), and reasonably priced rail passes make it affordable. Major cities have subway networks that are signposted in English and these days we're seeing and hearing more English all over. But if getting off the beaten track and outside your comfort zone is what you're after, you can have that experience, too. There are so many amazing places to visit in Japan! You could even spend a lifetime sampling the country’s delights, but some towns and sights are staples; core ingredients to any great Japan trip. Well, here’s few of the best places to visit in Japan: 1. Tokyo: Best for contemporary culture There's no place quite like Tokyo. It's a city forever reaching into the future, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on densely populated, earthquake-prone land, adding ever taller, sleeker structures. It's Japan's top spot for contemporary art and architecture, pop culture, shopping, drinking and entertainment (and a tie with Kyoto for dining). i. Ghibli Museum Ghibli Museum is the heart of the Studio Ghibli world, a beloved (even 'adored') film studio responsible for classic, critically-acclaimed animated titles like Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, Ponyo and Princess Mononoke, among countless others. Unlike Disney World, this is a museum, not a theme park, but the levels of fandom on show are likely to be just as intense. ii. Shibuya Crossing Shibuya crossing is rumoured to be the busiest intersection in the world. With hundreds of people crossing at a time, it is a sight to see. To get the best vantage point, head to the Starbucks on the second level of the nearby QFRONT building and look down. iii. teamLab Borderless The teamLab Borderless Museum is an art museum like no other- where art and the viewer become one. With 60 different interactive artworks, this museum is a fantasy world come to life. From the Crystal World, to the Athletics Forest, teamLab Borderless Museum will never disappoints its audiences. But more than any one sight, it's the city itself that enchants visitors. It's a sprawling, organic thing, stretching as far as the eye can see. Always changing, and with a diverse collection of neighborhoods, no two experiences of it are ever the same. 2. Kyoto: Best for traditional experiences Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for a thousand years, gained more than a thousand temples  including the monumental Kinkaku-ji and the meditative Ryōan-ji. Kyoto is also known for the culture of tea, the art of the geisha, and its rich food culture, including kaiseki. Despite Japan's overall modernization, many traditional arts and crafts are still alive in Kyoto. This is due in part to Kyoto's roots as the country's cultural capital. As such, wandering the streets downtown will reveal many historic shops selling traditional goods like tofu, washi (Japanese handmade paper), tea, lacquerware, chazutsu (tea canisters), and noren (hanging curtains). i. Fushimi Inari-Taisha Fushimi Inari is a vast shrine complex consisting of five shrines sprawled across the wooded slopes of Inari-san. It is one of Japan's most popular shrines and is the head shrine for some 40,000 Inari shrines scattered throughout the country. The walk around the upper precincts of the shrine is a pleasant day hike. It is also very eerie in the late afternoon and early evening when the various graveyards and miniature shrines along the path take on a mysterious air. ii. Nishiki Market Nishiki Market is a place where locals go to buy ingredients for Kyoto cuisine. It is narrow and can get crowded, so it is best to visit early or later in the afternoon. Many stores give out free samples, but it is considered impolite to eat while walking. You should also ask before taking pictures. iii. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove The bamboo grove is most atmospheric near Ōkōchi Sansō villa. Since the grove is free to enter, you can just chilling and take some pictures. If you prefer less crowded bamboo forest, remember to visit early in the morning or on a weekday. 3. Mt Fuji: Best for views and pilgrimages Mt Fuji is an incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring mountain, especially when seen up close. The perfectly symmetrical cone-shape of the mountain is something that many people admire, and the views from the summit at dawn are simply magical. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make the pilgrimage up the mountain as part of a centuries-old tradition. For those who don't want to make the climb up Mt Fuji, there are other less-daunting peaks nearby that offer just as spectacular views. Whether you're interested in exploring the country's natural beauty, learning about its fascinating culture, or simply indulging in its delicious food, Japan is sure to offer an unforgettable experience.

11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe

11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe

Before you leave, you might all kinds of romantic imagination about Europe... However, after you arrive in Europe and live there for a period of time, you will find that living here is a bit different from what you had imagined. Of course, Europe has its lovely places, but at the same time, there are some aspects that are very different from our way of life or habits, so it is hard to adapt to them at once. The following will share the daily life in Europe from accommodation, food, walking and leisure, so that you can understand and adapt to the European culture. Accommodation 1. Indoor Heating in Winter Winter in Europe is really cold, so most hotels and hostels are equipped with heaters, some even have floor heaters, which is very thoughtful. However, you should be careful to take out the food that will melt in the suitcase when it gets hot, otherwise your suitcase and food are likely to be scrapped. I didn't know that the floor in the hotel was heated, and that night I had chocolates in my suitcase and laid it flat on the floor. The next day, the whole row of chocolates melted, which was a painful lesson. Therefore, when you go to Europe in winter, you should pay attention to the location of indoor heating equipment and move things that are easy to melt away from the heated area or put them directly into the refrigerator. 2. The shower room is a bit narrow The showers in some European accommodations are small, especially in countries with higher prices. The narrow space can barely accommodate one person, and even turning around is not an option, plus you will bump into the surroundings if you don't move. If you want to take a more comfortable bath, remember to look at the photos of the restrooms and guest reviews when booking your stay. 3. Accommodation does not always have a lift Usually when you go to Europe, you will bring a big suitcase to put your clothes for a week or longer trips. If you choose a small hotel or hostel, it is very likely that there is only a staircase. If the hotel you stayed at only had wooden stairs, most likely you will need to pull your suitcase through, and it would make a squeaking sound. It’s so loud you might even worry that the stairs would collapse while you were trying to carry your luggage upstairs. The whole trip to Europe was to repeatedly move your luggage up and down the stairs, and you will become very strong afterwards. Diet 4. Tap Water is Drinkable In most European countries, tap water is not boiled and can be consumed directly. In addition to drinking water from the tap at home, local people also drink water from street water fountains or fountains. Since everyone's stomach and intestines are different, you have to judge your own risk before drinking. Of all the countries, Swiss tap water seems to be the best because it is the easiest to drink and does not have a bitter taste. 5. Restaurant water is not always free When you order from a foreign restaurant, the waiter will always ask if you want water. You'll think they're asking for free water, so you'll ask for it. As a result, when you get to pay, you'll see the bill for 3 euros for a glass of water. This will be the most expensive water you've ever had, and it's tap water. If you don't want to order such expensive water, remember to ask the waiter cheekily if it's free. Because some restaurants charge for water, the average cup is 1-3 euros. 6. Uneven streets When you first walk down the streets of Europe, you will see that the ground is made up of bricks of different sizes and heights, which is very European. This is very different from the concrete streets in many countries. However, when you carry your suitcase, it will ruin the romantic European style and you will miss our flat concrete road. Especially when you are in a hurry, it is very difficult to drag your luggage on the uneven streets. It is recommended that you bring a suitcase of 26 inches or less to Europe, otherwise you will not be able to walk. 7. Train doors requires a button to open You might be used to the subway doors opening automatically, but some of the subways or trains in Europe do not open automatically. Usually there is a button or a hand button on the side of the door, and you have to press the button to open it. I guess the reason is to keep the temperature of the train compartment moderate, because it is very cold in winter and a cold wind will blow when you open the door. In addition, not all passengers get off at every stop, so the doors are opened only when passengers need them, which reduces the number of times the cold wind blows into the car. But the first time you go there, you won't know you have to press the button and almost won't be able to get off the train. Leisure 8. Shops close very early European life has always given people a very leisurely and relaxed feeling, because they mostly focus on work life balance, so most stores close early. Europe is divided into summer and winter time, winter they will be earlier, may be about 4 o'clock after work. On Sundays and holidays, they don't even open. Most of the stores in the mall were not open on Christmas Day. This is very different from our 24-hour convenience stores and supermarkets that are open all year round. When going to some remote areas, it is best to stock up on food first, as supermarkets in Europe may be closed on Sundays. 9. Museums have checkrooms Most museums in Europe have cloak rooms where visitors can put down their backpacks and heavy clothing. Some even make it mandatory for visitors to put their luggage and hats in the cloak room before they can enter, probably because they are afraid of bringing too much stuff to damage the exhibits. In addition to museums, opera houses also make it mandatory for visitors to put their belongings in the cloakroom. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive 15 minutes earlier to watch a large exhibition or opera to reserve time to queue up for the cloakroom for personal belongings. Others 10. Pay to go to the restroom You never know when you'll have to pay to use the restroom. In some public places in Europe, or even some restaurants, you might have to pay to use the facilities. There are usually staff or gates at the entrance of the restrooms, so you can pay cash or get in with a restaurant receipt. It's always a good idea to bring change with you, just in case. If you want to save money, try to go to places like the museum or restaurant, where you won't have to pay extra. 11. Bring your own lock There are usually three situations where you need a lock. First, when you put your luggage on the luggage rack on the train, it is best to use a lock to secure your luggage to the rack to prevent others from taking it by mistake or stealing it. Secondly, when you put your luggage in the locker in a hostel, you should lock it with a lock. Because hostels may not necessarily provide locks for free, so bring your own without spending extra money to buy with the hostel. Third, when storing your luggage in the mini storage, you need to buy another lock to lock the door, so you don't have to pay for it. Hope the above 11 things to take note for European trips can make your trip to Europe easier!
