Travel Junkie

I was out in New Paltz this weekend, stopped into Cocoon and I saw this luggage tag for $5. I had to have it… it says it all. I am a Travel Junkie. I love to explore new things. I’ll go anywhere. Yes, I have my favorites, but I love to get away. Part of the addiction is seeing all the new bells, whistles and gadgets that are available to make travel or my experience better. I subscribe to almost every travel mag on the planet. At least the ‘good’ ones. Not only are they good for my business, but I get to leaf thru and see some of the really neat new products that are available. Some useful, some for comfort, and some are downright cool! There is nothing worse than a stinky, smokey, musty smell in a hotel room that I will be habitating for a considerable amount of time. For that reason, and to add a little ambiance, I always pack a travel candle. I am addicted to finding new brands and smells. Some of my favorite scents are Bluewick Dewberry and Wyeth, Tocca Florence, L’Occitane Figue Violetteand Elizabeth W. Lavander. Grabbing a bouquet of fresh flowers from amarket in Europe goes a long way to brighten up even the drabbest room.

For those of you, who like me, are not good in flight, one of my favorite travel catalogues, Magellan’s, has a few things to help make your trip more comfortable. TheKomfort Kollar is great for preventing a stiff neck, another one for a sore tooshie, and one is great for overnight flights when you want a comfortable nights sleep in a coach seat. Lastly, one of the gadgets in the cool category, is that fact that some hotels are starting to hand out pre- programmed GPS devices like this one, to their guests. They can be loaded with maps, walking or driving directions, destinations, phone numbers and restaurant suggestions. I can’t wait to answer the age old question… ‘What will they think of next? ‘What are some of your favorite products and gadgets? New Paltz map it
