At one time getting the car ready for a summer trip might be the most important thing you could do. Still important? Ok, sure. You know to check tires, service radiators, check the fan belts and hoses, and the car probably needs a tune up. Got it.
So you would head to the dealer, a Firestone store, Walmart or whatever wonderful service center you knew about or lived closest to. You drove in, told them what you think you needed and they quietly smirked to themselves. Then you signed the work order, headed to the waiting area and hung out until they found you and told you what you really needed. Rarely, if ever, did the two match.
That was the primary vacation preparations then. Now? Now it’s update apps, update software, and purchase whatever it is you think you need to make travel more fun and entertaining.

Selfie Stick
Bluetooth headset
Phone stand
Mobile security program
Wireless router
Battery backup
Solar charger
Duplicate cords
