My family & I just took an amazing 5 day Road Trip
and I thought I would share some of the resources
I found that were very helpful in planning our trip
and making it go smoothly!
:: :: ::
Check out my Travel board on Pinterest!
I’ve pinned some sites that have some very helpful printable lists,
traveling tips & great iPhone/iPad apps for kids…
:: :: ::
Expedia is a website I use when I need to find a good deal on a hotel…
You can also search for car rentals, flights & vacation packages.
:: :: ::
Use this app to check the weather hourly, daily or by the week…
:: :: ::
Google Maps has saved me from getting lost more than once!
I use their website app to map out all of the destinations on my road trip and
I use their mobile app on my phone to get turn by turn directions…
:: :: ::
Waze ~ “Outsmarting Traffic Together”
Waze is a free GPS traffic & navigation app…
Not only can you get turn by turn directions to your destination,
but you can also get up-to-the-minute traffic updates!
:: :: ::
With Yelp you can search local restaurants, shopping & entertainment
including user reviews & recommendations…
Very helpful in finding restaurants!
:: :: ::
This is one of my favorite apps!
Not only can you transfer your gift cards & use your phone to pay for your coffee,
but you can locate Starbuck’s in any city & it even gives you directions!
I’ve used this app so many times!
:: :: ::
Flavortown ~ Diners, Drive-in’s & Dives Locator
If you like Guy Fieri from Diner’s, Drive-In’s & Dives,
you need this app!
:: :: ::
My family uses this app all of the time – at home & in the car…
Choose a style of music that you want to listen to
and Pandora will randomly choose the tunes…
:: :: ::
If you have kids and you want a good night’s sleep when you’re away from home,
you need this app!
You can choose from many different sounds to play:
Ocean waves, Thunderstorm & my favorite – Floor Fan…
:: :: ::
Car Stereo Cable for iPhone/iPod
Use this cable to connect your iPhone or iPod to your car stereo – genius!
:: :: ::
These are so great!
You can charge anything you can plug in…
Some types also have USB slots…
I used ours to power my laptop whose battery lasts less than an hour!
Also very helpful if you lose your car chargers for your phone or iPods!
:: :: ::
I hope that my traveling tips have been helpful to you all!
Stay tuned as I will be posting some of our road trip photos as well….
