Interested in California Glamping? Check out this Thrillist article…
One of my favorite things to do with friends is to go glamping! Of course, I’m okay with more rugged tent camping, but not everyone is cut out for that. It is nice to have other places to go and “glamp” for a less strenuous camping option. If you are thinking about a glamping vacation in California, then you must start your list using some of the most aesthetically pleasing here.

This Week’s Travel Gear Recommendations
Timberland Hiking Boots
Please take my firsthand experience on this… you do not want to go hiking in a bad pair of hiking boots! The first time I wore these on a hike, my mind was made up. The pair I had on would not be my last pair. They were the 3rd pair of waterproof hiking boots that I had purchased and the first to be able to comfortably handle thicker socks without hurting my feet at the end of the day. They also kept my feet dry crossing through riverbeds. So needless to say, these are a must for any person that is a hiker or will be traveling to a destination that may require walking on different types of terrain. Click here to get a great deal on your next pair of hiking boots in time for the holidays. If not for you, these boots would be a wonderful gift for the hiker in your family!

This is for all the TEAM Apple people, the AirTags expanded functionality is something you should be excited about. If you are paranoid about the possibility of lost luggage when traveling, this will help you to relax, a little! I read this article in USA Today and knew I should pass the word.
