Which Travel Planning Website Is Your Favorite?
Ahh, Summer. Although I love Fall (hello, gadget fashion!), I can't help but get a pang of sadness knowing that this is really the last warm holiday weekend to look forward to this year. Summer is the quintessential time of year to travel and lounge around in the sun, and if you've headed out of town this season, you've most likely used a travel-planning website like Trip Advisor or Diddit to help you get there.

The Best Gadget Accessories For Your Trip
Planning to travel this weekend? You're not alone — long-distance trips increase 54 percent over the Thanksgiving travel season. Traveling is stressful, but just because you're away from home doesn't mean you have to be without your high-tech conveniences.

Lindsay Lohan Is a Fan of Apple but Not Its Warranty
Although Lindsay Lohan has run the gauntlet of cell phones, she's become a BlackBerry convert and sticks with Apple for her computer needs. Lindsay recently lamented on Twitter about how her MacBook took a beating during her recent travels and ended up with a cracked screen. I know how expensive replacing screens can be, and unfortunately the star had to learn the hard way that accidental breakage isn't covered on Apple's warranty or by their protection plans.
Website of the Day: Ruba
There's nothing worse than being pumped for a vacation, then arriving to find your digs/guided tour/planned activities aren't as awesome as advertised. Unfortunately for some, this could totally shatter your dreams of an ideal vacay. So next time, do some extra research on a site like Ruba.
Would You Take a Virtual Vacation?

I think similar to my email, my Gmail tasks list needs to be gone through so I can delete some of my old to-dos! Everything from travel memos, to daily lists and reminders, my tasks certainly help to keep me organized!
Being able to move items to different lists is a great help, but now I can email a list to friends with Google's new email task list option in the Actions menu.
