Tip of the Day

In Aruba with a nice bottle of wine and no corkscrew available, no worries. At least according to this video. If anyone has tried it, does it work?

How to open a wine bottle with a shoe.

Definitely try it with a cheap bottle of wine and someone else's wall

lol...I saw one video where they opened the bottle using that technique, but without the shoe, outside on a tree and with a hand towel wrapped around the bottle. Hopefully, some daring soul will give it a try and report back to us.

Wonderful tips and really very simple ones. Sometimes we are aware of the things but don't apply them when requited. Thanks for sharing.

Marriott VISA just sent out a new benefits program effective on 3/1/11. In it it describes all kinds of new things covered such as collision waivers and theft, baggage delays, lost luggage reimbursement, emergency assistance services, trip cancelations and interuption and purchase protection.
This card also gives us Marriott points...needless to say, " a girl can't leave home without it". Check it out, the program is new. It will travel to Europe with it soon.
