Special Envelope

I just read about this FUN envelope in a Johnny Jet newsletter.

You can use your own address or anyplace else you want. 

Users can print on the inside flap a Google map of anywhere in the world and include a custom message like: "How would you like to go here with me?" or "Had a great time here." nor "How about visiting us?"

Good, too, for including with a gift.

Planning a trip... even if you don't know where to go

I just heard about this site: travelmuse. After answering some basic questions pertaining to budget, maximum travel time and interests, hit the "Inspire Me" button to find all kinds of options.

I heard about it from my Johnny Jet email newsletter. 

 

DEET -free bug repellant

I just found out about Buzz Away insect repellent which is all-natural. I don't like to use anything with DEET.




I've been using Cutter Advanced for the past few years since it also has no DEET. I'll have to get some of the Buzz Away to see if it will be another good choice. Always good to have insect repellent in the cabinet for those many times we need it.

Currency Conversion - useful info

Whenever we are planning a trip, I check out the conversion rate for dollars vs. the other country's currency. I usually use xe

I just saw another site that I think I'll use more: CurRate

Besides having the exchange rate, they include pictures of the country's coins and paper money. For anyone with IPhone, there's also a mobile application.

Can be interesting just to check out what money looks like from different countries.
