Take Offs & Landings

Our friend Berit recently introduced a new web site, devoted to travel goods, gadgets & gizmos, to the infobahn. She calls it "cool stuff for travelers" and she should know. Along with being the gal-about-town and all'round hep lady that she is, Berit's an author, travel writer & citizen of the world herself. You can find her books on Amazon and read her travel pieces in magazines and newspapers nationwide.

From fun to functional, the befittingly named, TrustyPony.com aims to appropriately outfit your next adventure. Whether it's a Sunday swing through the Farmer's Market, a week of hopping the Paris Métro or a month of trekking through Laos, Trusty Pony just might have the ideal accessory to make your trip a little more comfortable; or at least a little more cute. And if there are no impending expeditions on your horizon, this site may get you to start planning one. I'm already perusing my globe just to find a place to utilize a new box of tea tree & vitamin E wipes by La Fresh. I think I'd like to wipe somewhere warm.
