My Eight-Day Photo Trek

I recently undertook an eight-day photo trek. I had some specific goals in mind and researched the trip extensively.




Two gadgets were extremely helpful.


I used GPS for my navigation for the entire trip. I located my lodging and some of the restaurants as well. I have heard and read a lot of horror stories concerning the use of GPS devices, but with a bit of common sense GPS is an excellent navigation tool.


The other gadget I used for my trip was the IPOD. Never leave home without it.


I have the RoadsideAmerica.Com app installed, as well as the Amazon Kindle app for reading.
Downloading books from Kindle is a snap. I read wherever I go, the display on the IPOD makes reading in the dark pleasurable without disurbing your bedmate. No lights needed.


The one app I found most useful is the voice recorder. I took extensive notes whenever I stopped to take pictures. The keyboard is way too dinky and cumbersome for me, but the voice recorder worked like a charm. I wish Apple had the brains to include a built-in microphone. This is the only shortcoming I find with the IPOD.
