Travel Product of the Month

Eat, Drink and be Merry on Your Next Tour

small group tours to italyI have been taking my small group tours to Italy and Paris for years.   Although I know my French and Italian pretty well, ordering from a menu can be a challenge.  For example, when dining at Aux Lyonnais in Paris, exactly what am I getting when I order "Caillette de Chabeuil" or "Gigot d'agneau de lait roti"?  In Rome, what happens next when I order "Braciolette d’abacchio ai ferri con patate" or "Straccetti di calamari alla piastra".   Use this travel product of the month to avoid using the hazardous "point and pray" method when ordering off a French or Italian menu.

Can I find my toiletries or socks.  Well, I've solved that problem and in today's blog post, we'll show you how to be a more organized packer with our travel product of the month.

My Favorite Personal Item to Carry On the Plane

eddie bauer backpackI like to travel light.  Whether I take a 3-day or 30-day trip, I always carry-on luggage.  In previous “Travel Products of the Month”,,I have featured two great carry-on rollaway pieces that are normally stowed in the overhead bin.  However, the airlines permit at least one personal item that can be stowed under the seat or in the overhead bin.   This Travel Product of the Month features a personal item that I take on every trip.
