Upcoming review: Ames Walker Microfiber Travel Socks
I recently received this information and an offer for a sample pair of socks from AmesWalker.com. The review will probbaly come after my vacation, since I doubt I'll get the socks in time to try them out this time around. However I thought the information in the email might be useful:
Millions of people will be traveling to visit friends/loved ones for the holidays. While overbooked flights and bumper to bumper traffic are always a concern, not enough attention is given to the health risks associated with extended travel. Travelers use compression travel socks while traveling to help prevent blood clots (deep-vein thrombosis) – a potential killer. Even healthy people can get blood clots in their legs during long flights and long car rides. To help minimize the risk, AmesWalker.com offers Microfiber Travel Socks, which offer the following benefits:· Help promote venous blood flow in the legs
· Help prevent leg swelling and discomfort
· Reduce the chance of blood clot formation in a DVT
· Improve circulation in legs

Gift ideas for travelers
My birthday was last month but I suppose I could start an early Christmas list with some help from this article. I did actually get some good ideas - since I'll be in a hotel in Munich for Christmas I was wondering what to get my wife. Something from home and hide it all the way to Germany? Buy something in Germany when we'll be together the whole time? Nothing seemed so easy. But maybe something from the hotel if they have a spa or maybe something else along those lines would work. Perhaps a special dinner in Munich - anyone know of something?

Don't forget to charge your batteries before you go on vacation
Here's a quick article on getting your digital camera ready for your vacation. It basically says to bring extra batteries and/or a charger (and if you're going overseas an adaptor or converter) and make sure you have enough space on your memory stick.
Personally, my wife and I love our Sony Cybershot (we're on our second). Battery life is excellent so as long as we leave the camera off when we're not taking pictures we really don't need extra batteries. We've lasted 11 or so days in Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore on one charge.
