As a quick followup to last week’s post about whether or not you need a power converter for travel to Canada, I thought I’d round things out and talk about the power situation in our neighbor to the south… Good ole Mexico.

I’m about to head out for a short trip to Canada, where I haven’t been in ages. As I finished packing, I freaked out for a minute because I couldn’t remember if you need a power converter in Canada. Stupid, I know. Oh well, what can I say?
If you have a Garmin nuvi GPS, then listen up. I just received an e-mail from Garmin about a product safety recall relating to a potential risk of the battery overheating in your GPS unit. Bummer, huh? Here’s the scoop…
Our kids go back to school every year in early August, so we’ve made a tradition of taking one last trip to the beach at the end of July. This year, we headed to St. Augustine Beach, Florida. It was a great trip, and fun was had by all.
We have a Garmin nuvi 260W, and we love it. The wide screen and text-to-speech functionality make navigation a snap. We were thus very disappointed when our GPS suddenly stop reading of the street names.
Just over a year ago, we got our first GPS navigator. We’ve had various handheld GPS units over the years for geocaching, but we’ve never had a dedicated unit for in-car navigation. All I can say now is that I’m glad we took the plunge.
