Worse case scenario
As my trip to Japan and China grows ever closer, I get more and more restless. Over the past couple of months we’ve been steadily checking off items from out to do list and now it is almost complete. Despite this, I cannot help feeling that I am utterly unprepared for this trip to the [...]
iPhone travel tip of the week
Okay, well maybe a I won’t start posting a new iPhone travel tip every week but this is a good one. The iPhone comes with the ability to view PDF documents but only as email attachments. For our upcoming Japan trip I wanted a way to access reference materials on the iPhone without having to [...]
