So I decided to quasi-unplug when I was on my cruise. I turned the data off on my phone.  I really didn’t use my phone to text that much as it only worked when we were at sea, not near a port.   Honestly, unplugging was kind of weird.  As you know, my Droid Eris [...]

This post is part of the Disney Blog Carnival. Go check it out! Based upon the awesome Betamouse Podcast, I thought I’d discuss the techier side of Universal Orlando.  Universal Orlando recently took down their mobile site, so I found that the Android App Ridehopper to be my only option.  I’ll review RideHopper more in [...]

I first came across Tripit in a Yapta e-mail-you can connect your Yapta and Tripit accounts.  I’d never heard of Tripit before, so I decided to check it out.  I liked the idea of all of my vacation information in one place.  I started using it for my Universal trip-I liked how my Universal hotel [...]
