As many subpar portable chargers as I've gone through, I'm here to save you from wasting your time and money.

This one is so good! I bought it for our European Blitz trip, and it was great! I never had to worry about missing any great photo opportunities due to a dead phone.

If you take as many photos and videos as I do on vacation and use your maps app a lot to navigate, you already know how quickly that drains your phone battery even if you don't typically have that problem in everyday life at home.

It charges fast, and it fully charges your phone more than once without having to recharge the charger. (How many times can I say charger in one sentence? 😆) It also fits easily into a purse or bag and isn't bulky at all.

For around forty bucks, I think it's well worth it! (I got this at Walmart.)

** I make zero dollars from recommending this item. I just wanted to share in case you are looking for a good & affordable solution to keep your phone charged at all times.

❤️ One thing we really loved about our Virgin Voyages cruise was the FOOD!

Everything we ate was not only beautiful but very delicious.

It's no wonder Virgin won Travel + Leisure's "World's Best Award" as the #1 mega-ship ocean cruise line two years in a row. (With only 3 years at sea, that's an amazing accomplishment!)

You've got to experience the difference with Virgin!!

Gunbae is a Korean BBQ restaurant option aboard your Virgin Voyages cruise. It's not only delicious, but it's also entertaining and interactive dining that you experience with a group of about 6.

(If you're a party less than 6 people, they will seat you with other sailors, which makes it a lot of fun.)

You play a drinking game with your group led by your server at the end of your meal right before dessert!

Did you know that you can request a home check from your local police when you're on vacation?

We personally also prefer to either have a family member, friend, or house sitter stay at our home while we're away so someone is at our house at all times.

If you don't have that option or if you're like us and want extra security, the police will provide this service for you! Generally you can go online and fill out a Vacation Check Request.

They really do it! Once, we forgot to lock a door and it blew open. They noticed that as part of their check, so they cleared the house and called us immediately then locked everything up for us. 😳

It's also a good idea to tell trusted neighbors when you'll be out of town. If someone is supposed to be staying at your house while you're away, just tell them who to expect and when as well as details about their vehicle(s) if they don't already know.

You can never be too cautious! Plus you'll have more peace of mind while you're on vacation.
