Road Warrior Resources
Over the past few years I've collected a few tools and resources to make my travel easier. I thought I'd pass my collection along in case these are handy for some of you too.
Trip Advisor - I love this site because it gives great travel advice from other travelers. I tend to use it when I'm going somewhere new and need some input on where to stay. Much more objective than the hotel's website.
Seat Guru - Great info on airplane seating, airport amenities and the like. If you're picky about where you sit on the plane (as I am) you'll want to check out this site to see exactly what you're getting on a particular plane.
World Clock - When booking meetings with international clients, this site is a great resource for me. Gives times for a ton of locations across the world. Includes a meeting planner feature to make sure your times are sync when connecting abroad. (Maybe I should point my mother to this site, who after 14 years of me living in California still asks me, "What time is it there?")
Google Maps - The best maps and directions website I've found. So easy and intuitive.
Athletic Minded Traveler - For $20 a year I get a wealth of information about local health clubs, healthy eating, neighborhood runs and more. A great site to support staying healthy on the road.
Electricity Around the World - Got any international plugs hanging around but you don't know what they go to? Check out this site for info about connecting anywhere in the world, including photos of which adapters you'll need. My summer project is labeling my adapters to match the countries.
Currency Converter - What makes this site unique is that you can convert while figuring in credit card rates. Much more accurate about real costs than typical conversion.
Safe travels....Kelly

Thank you for sharing these links. I've had more than one occasion for using all of these...but didn't know they were there (except for Google Maps).
