I have to confess – I love that sites like Flickr and programs like iPhoto allow me to preserve the locations where photos were taken (aka geotagging). I had been using several hacks to geotag photos in iPhoto because my Nikon doesn’t support GPS locations. But… the days of sniffing the dirt are over. Say …
At Merrin’s suggestion, I now have travel journal for the safari vacation. I’m glad I listened, because this Moleskine notebook is awesome. Just the right size (write size? ha!) for a travel notebook.
In preparation for our Safari next month, I’ve been researching pants. Let’s all pause to just let that statement sink in, because it’s not insignificant. MONTHS… RESEARCHING… PANTS…. I mean, can you imagine spending MONTHS reading reviews, looking through detailed imagery, and analyzing fit… to buy pants? PANTS. Not a car or life insurance… PANTS. …
Via a couple of web posts, Amazon is having a 1/2 price sale on Swiss Army Knives. They even have 1/2 off the Victorinox SwissTool Spirit Multi-Tool. Schwing!

Remember the great rechargeable batteries I blogged a few weeks back as Stuff I Love? Well, they’re on sale at Amazon. A four-pack of Eneloop batteries is on sale for $13.13 – almost 40% off. Run don’t walk – if you need Eneloop rechargeables.
One of the great “Stuff I Love” entries (that you might actually get to use if our guestroom is occupado!) is the Wenzel Queen Raised Insta-Bed. We bought this back during my “man fridge” days of living solo in Florida. (Actually, I got this when Merrin was finally moving down – had to upgrade for …
One of the more recent additions to the “Stuff I Love” list are the Eneloop NiMH Rechargeable Batteries that I use in my Canon digital camera.
