Wherever I go so does my iGo. What? Well an iGo is a product by Mobility Electronics. They have created this fantastic device. Why do I know this is fantastic, because I have owned one for about 5 years now. It is my go anywhere power source for my laptop as well as my PDA, Cell Phone, Allison’s Cell Phone and my soon to arrive iPod. In fact I have gone through 3 laptops and 2 cell phones since I purchased my iGo Juice 70. And I have had to use it to charge my devices on planes, in cars and in every hotel room I’ve ever stayed in during the last 5 years. This product is an absolute lifesaver. I will be very sad if and when it conks out on me, but for now it is strong and reliable.
With the iGo Juice 70 I can power my laptop while simultaneously charging one of my peripherals. This has cut down on the number of things I need to take with my on my trips and fits neatly in a little bag that I take with me. I plan to get tips for a bluetooth headset when I end up buying one, and for a new digital camera when I can find one that has an iTip and is a good camera. That way I am always powered up. You see, for each new device I need to only buy an iTip to attach to the Dual Power adapter and I am in business.
I am so surprised when other people I travel with marvel at the iGo. I ask them, why haven’t they bought one. It is the perfect accessory to a traveler concerned about efficiency and that fits me to a T. So wherever I go so does my iGo.
And some days you are the bug. Today Allison flew to BWI to attend a baby shower for her friend Elise. The day started with a quick trip back to the house to pick up a forgotten phone (to her credit she is not a morning person and I have done that many times myself.) Then the airline loses her bag, the one with the shower gifts in it. They were nice enough to give her a voucher for future travel and will Fed Ex the bag to her destination IF it arrives tonight. Otherwise they are going to send it back home. Fun stuff. Then I had rented Allison a car with my Hertz miles/points/scam of a crappy program. I made the reservation on the phone and talked to a live person and explained that I was renting the car for my wife. The confirmation says.

So me being a dope figures that everything is fine and dandy for Allison to pick up the rental car. Nope. When she gets to the counter the person behind the counter tells her that I cannot rent a car for her on my points, I need to be there to pick up the car. Luckily Allison was smiled upon and the woman behind the counter gave her a ticket for a free three day rental. So it should cost about the same for her as it would have for me to rent the car with my points. But wait, my points were deducted from my account. What happens to those? I’m going to be making some calls when Allison returns with the paperwork. I hope the rest of her trip goes along better.
