Travel Tech - Apps... Or Star wars caption contest- What's going on here?

There are a multitude of Apps for iPhone and Android that are travel related, pretty standard items (Like a compass), noting a regular compass is always good to have for those moments you don’t want to whip out your mobile device, use location services, have no connectivity (or) power.

Photos are fun as well as meaningful. They can be that awesome reminder of the perfect moment; with the potential to captivate an entire world on Social media. Photography is a big part of traveling, even if it is just for Facebook, twitter or IG. More so if you are apt to enter photo contests like those offered by Lume Cube and GoPro to name a few.

An App I use is named Aviary, it’s free which can’t be beat, and has a lot of editing capability without upgrading. The filters for editing provide a lot of power to enhance a photo using 3 or 4 subtle tweaks that end up making a big difference without using a preset, or having it look processed.

I was explaining to a friend the meaning of the newish word “Meme” and demonstrated what one was using the app.

The example wasn’t travel related, and we had a few laughs with it.

Which is where this blog post will take a turn.

Ready for it…?  Best caption contest! Just for fun, I would love to hear some ideas for captions on this Photo - Type it in the Blog comments below.

Enter the Iconic Peter Cushing, the gentleman’s Vincent Price. An actor from a bygone era that exemplified a classic element of chilling. He’s back, he’s bad-ass, and he’s rocking as the Boss holding the leash on the big dawg in Star Wars - Rogue one.

My Travel Essentials - Pacsafe Venturesafe 150 Cross-Body Pack

Practical review of the features and usage of the Pacsafe Venturesafe 150 Cross Body Pack after extensive field use in 3rd world urban, and outback environments. The secure features and ease of access of this Pacsafe bag ranks as a #CantLiveWithoutIt for everything from riding the bus or Jeepney, to shopping in Metro Manila's notorious "snatcher" laden Divisoria street markets, to hiking the ruins on Corregidor island. 

Lightweight, durable cross body pack with anti-theft technologies ideal for long hikes, adventures abroad, your daily commute, and as a (more than) handy carry-on.

The bag's fabric is embedded with eXomesh Slashguard, a lightweight flexible, stainless steel wire mesh that protects your gear from a quick slash-and-run theft.

Flexible, lightweight stainless steel wire runs through the adjustable Carrysafe Slashguard cross-body strap to prevent slashers from slicing through and running off with your gear. Have you ever seen a video of a skilled bag snatcher use a razor sharp blade to slice a strap and run? This is the bag that brings the whole case of classic "foiled again"  à la Snidely Whiplash.

I love it so much I made a video about it - Check it out

The bag includes dual release security buckles that lock the hook in place for added security. It is might be impossible to detach the buckle with one hand, and it takes a solid moment to do it with two. There is no "quick" grab. This also allows you to loop and lock the bag to a table, chair, railing, in the event you wanted to sit and take it off.

The zipper pullers have a heavy duty thin cable loop that can be solidly clipped to discreet (recessed) security hooks. This also takes two hands and a solid moment to unlatch before zipping.

The bag is not water resistant. It is low profile enough to use across the body, or as a waist pack. It fits under a raincoat. It is a great "extra" carry on. When boarding i loop it under my carry on backpack, then when i stow the carry on, I slip this on. It does not interfere with the seat belt or tray table. (and) it acts like a sling you can use to effortlessly cross your arms in while you nap.
