I couldn't go a day without it. But, shouldn't you leave the gadgets at home while vacationing?
Absolutely not. The internet can be a lifesaver on a trip. I have a very small laptop that I don't care much for using, but it is portable and convenient when looking for nearby food and lodging.
When my husband is tired of driving, I'll check the map for the next city or town. I then Google the name of the city and "hotel", or "campground." Usually the names and numbers of the hotels and campgrounds pop up on the search page. Then, just call in your reservation and you're all set for the night. If you're looking for a campground, you have access to pictures and details about the grounds.
It's also handy for finding state parks and area attractions. How many times have you vacationed and later found out you 'd missed something? Well, I have, and it's rare that I'll ever visit the same place more than once. But, thanks to my little companion, I won't miss out on anything again.
And, if you travel frugally, like me, then its very handy for finding out what these parks and attractions cost beforehand. And, you can shop around for hotels.
Do you want to know the rich history of a town you're going through? Google it. You'll be surprised what comes up. The kids love it, too.
Just be sure to forget the social networking. You don't want to miss out on the scenery or family time while traveling.
There are many other uses for the internet and travel, like maps, weather, road conditions, etc. I would love to read your ideas and experiences.
Hope you enjoyed,
Ann
