Why I love "Trip It"

My sister opened my eyes up to Trip it. It is a travel planner application you can use on your ipad or tablet as well as your PC . Basically when you receive any of your e-mail receipts you forward them on to Trip it and it organizes all of your information for you. It's awesome you can then add travelers who can access and edit the trip or send your information to friends and family. It's super easy to use! And it's free, hell yeah! Of course you can throw money at them to get more special features. Try it out and enjoy!

Tips and tricks when packing your toiletries for the Airplane

What to wear when visiting- Hong Kong, China

So I find myself always wanting an occasion to play dress up and when visiting a new location it's the perfect opportunity to get to branch out and wear something new! I don't just check the weather report and the activities list but I also check out fashion trends. Growing up in Western America I grew up around women dressing in whatever they like and in as little as the like, so it is good to always check up what the customs are this way you don't offend anyone and cause unwanted staring.

I like to check out this website for some tips:  http://www.journeywoman.com/girltalk/hongkong_wear.html. This website offers great tips such as wearing closed toe shoes and bringing a light jacket since most of the building and even buses blast the air conditioning.

I also like to then search for pictures of street fashion. What would we do with out the Internet? Here is a great link that has shots of street fashion: http://www.style-tips.com/hunting/. Hong Kong is very fashionable, and they are great at accessorizing. The women don't show cleavage ( but Asian women aren't born with the curves like us Westerners have). And I would have to say the key fashionable item are the shoes. Now as a tourist you still have to plan for lots and lots of walking but that doesn't mean you got to look like one. So pack a cute handbag, a hat or scarf, some crazy tights, and cute comfy shoes and you'll be good to go!

Happy Traveling!
