Castle in the Black

Posted by Miss Maccy on Jul 21, 2009 in Travel Memories

Castle in the Black.

Here’s the photo that I think was missing from the beautiful HD shots of Paris. Not that this is Paris, mind you, but who says Disneyland isn’t beautiful? Cultural snobbery, that’s what it is. Just as interesting to parents of young travellers is the brief debate – is it worth is taking under five year olds to Disneyland because they “won’t remember it’? My vote is yes.

Apple – iPhone for Travel

Posted by Miss Maccy on Jul 11, 2009 in Gizmos

Apple – iPhone in Business – Profiles – ArtusLabs.

Well it just reinforces the point I’ve been harping on about forever (stop yawning already!) that the iphone replaces a whole bunch of other gadgets, especially while travelling. For instance, we just sold our portable GPS unit on ebay. Although we don’t have a turn-by-turn voice navigation app installed yet, we’ve found Google maps a more than adequate replacement. Two examples of the mobile navigation apps available are:

TomTom is said to be working on one for release as well.

Is this the end for Sat Nav?
