Travel Plus…. Destination – Japan Rail Pass – How do you take advantage of it?
The Japan Rail Pass is quite an amazing thing - as it grants you access to the rail networks that are part of the JR Group network for fixed price. My bruised and battered rail pass towards the end of the trip. The used rail pass with the magic ticket bit. But how can you really take advantage of it to the full extent? Do you qualify to use it?

Travel Plus…. Technology: When paying for a repair is better value than insurance
On Monday this week, I formally joined the iPhone owners club in the proper sens.

Firstly, check what it … [Read more...]

Today, we're interested in Flickr, Facebooking, Intragram, Tweeting our pictures... but printing seems be much more down the agenda. Oh heck. 44,520 photos over 824GB.

Travel Plus… Technology/Photography: Canon 100D – Hiking the down the Diamond Head
Time to return to a long-term test - my Canon 100D Digital SLR camera that I tend to throw in the bag when I'm travelling. The 100D in real life. For those of you who are interested in some background on the long-term test, have a look at it in San Francisco and Chicago. My interest in the 100D is simple - is it any good as a travel camera? Most of you know that I rate … [Read more...]
