Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. I love the music, the lights, the spirit and decorating the house! Each time I travel I am always on the lookout for small items I can place on my Travel-Themed Christmas Tree. My tree topper is a Zulu Wire Bowl from South Africa. Draped around the tree are Beads from Sydney’s Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, and sprinkled throughout are tokens from around the globe. Here’s how you can make your own travel-themed tree! Dedicated Christmas Ornaments

Email This PostLast week my online travel store with fun and unique travel products had it’s official grand opening. And in it, I am currently selling two products: the tugo cup holder and MirrorSleeves. In the 1st of a 2-part series, I thought I would share some inspiration into these accessories for your car. What Are MirrorSleeves?
First things first, MirrorSleeves are car mirror covers for your side-view mirrors on your automobile. They are also sometimes called Mirror Socks, Mirror Sleeves and Car Mirror Socks. Whatever you call them, they are a unique and creative way to personalize your car. Leave a comment, beautiful. |

Email This PostFrom the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Pattaya Blog Archive [originally published 3 December 2009]. Each team was instructed to provide gifts for the other teams from their home country. Being located next to the Walt Disney World Resort, it’s always easy for us to find “American Gifts”. What’s more American than Mickey Mouse? So we took a trip to the theme parks and purchased stuffed animals that reflected the personalities of each of the teams. We then took a small photo as a teaser to keep them guessing. Michael & Jenny, the Ultimate Thailand Explorers team to Koh Samui, revealed in their blog what each of the gifts were. Guess for yourself below, and then click here to see how you did. Leave a comment, beautiful. |

What’s a Vuvuzela?It’s a horn that’s played at Football (Soccer) matches in South Africa. I bought one today and have been puckering up all day long. Take a look in this YouTube video.
Bringing Controversy to the 2010 World CupAs I was researching more about the Vuvuzela I discovered it’s divided some soccer fans. Those pro-Vuvuzela credit it’s African roots and widespread acceptance at football games. Those on the other team contest that they are distracting, loud, annoying and do nothing to add to the game. Representatives from FIFA wanted to ban them from the World Cup Competition, but ultimately gave in to the growing public pressure to add African character to the 2010 games. As of this writing, the Vuvuzela will be allowed in the stadiums. 8 really smart thoughts |
