Hi: - I too, take my BN everywhere since we are frequent travellers.
One thing I like to do is research out a location before travelling on
the internet before a trip, and copy useful information such as;
possible restaurants, things to do, attractions, entertainment
possibilities, etc.. If there's a restaurant we want to try out while
there, and I can find that restaurant's menu on the internet, then I
copy that also to my BN. Our last trip to Florida, I called the hotel
we were staying at ahead of time, and had them fax me a copy of their
room service menu which I scanned and copied over to my BN which really
came in handy I also before heading to the airport make sure I have
lots of great books to read during those long boring airplane flights.
All the best. - Kim

Hi All,
My voicenote goes with me where ever I go. In fact, My wife calls it
our grand child, because it chatters all the time.
If you want to do something fun, when you are using the GPS in a car,
have it announce the speed. I did this while on project Mobility, here
in Dayton, Ohio. The driver and I got a big charge out of it.
