Summer Travel Apps

by Katelyn Powers, Vollmer New York City
Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching. Warmer weather, backyard BBQ’s, road trips and beach vacations!!!! Time to break out the swimmies and suntan lotion – but wait! Make sure when planning your trip, there will be plenty of mobile service because the best apps for this summer are out. To find which ones are must haves, check out these two lists from GeekSugar and PCWorld that will surely maximize your mobility while on vacation this holiday weekend and throughout the summer. Below are a few that caught my attention:
WorldMate Gold is a must have for those planning to get away. This app organizes and stores all itineraries, including information on flight, airline updates, hotel reservation, car rental, etc. Sounds like a personal assistant!
No worries if you forgot to bring a book down to the beach. Pull out your iphone, itouch or ipad and read from the Kindle app. It carries over 450,000 books. Just be sure to stay out of water range - the iphone alone is not yet liquid proof, although I’m sure Apple is working on it.
Here’s an app I’m sure parents would appreciate - have2p. When mother nature calls, it’s no joke and this bathroom finder is definitely a plus while being away from home.  
My personal fav, and absolute must for a summer vacation. This app locates all the nearest places that serve ice cream and frozen yogurt. Simply heaven…  
From backyard BBQ’s to beach vacations and road trips, these are two great app lists to enhance your summer experience. If you’re looking for additional travel apps to get you through your summer trips, head to http://www.apple.com/webapps/travel/.
Enjoy!
