Rick Steves' Italy 2010 with map
by Rick Steves
Amazon Price: $17.96
Customer Review: Great area maps for cities. Restaraunt recommendations at multiple price points, from street food to fine dining. Worth the price of book for information regarding skipping the lines at major attractions, we skipped extremely long lines in both Venice and Rome by buying our tickets at the alternate locations suggested. Also apprieciate the historcal background given for cities and sites. This book was superior to Lonely Planet and Let's Go books I've used in the past.
Rick Steves' Florence & Tuscany 2010
by Rick Steves, Gene Openshaw
Amazon Price: $13.64
Customer Review: We used Rick Steves' books throughout our entire tour of Italy and will use him for wherever we travel going forward!
Where the Sunsets Bleed
Amazon Price: $17.99
Customer Review: I must agree with all of you. I am so blessed to have Dr. Knight as my composition professor at Oklahoma City University and I will testify, he is a TRUE genius!!! (If only you could have heard the fanfare he composed for the opening of our new music building. It was so amazing!! I still get chills thinking about it.)
I would highly recommend this CD to any and everyone. As you said, Dr. Knight has an amazing gift for story telling and imagery in his music and all the artists ...
Siesta
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This is probably the most star-studded nobody have ever seen. I first saw this movie in film class and was completely mesmerized. I'm glad it's finally available on DVD.
8 Heads in a Duffel Bag
Amazon Price: $9.98
Customer Review: I always wanted to see this movie, and renting it at 99 cents is a great deal.
Joe Pesci hauls 8 heads in a duffel bag from NJ to San Diego.
The mobster mayhem and mix up starts there, when the bag gets mixed up with a tourist and his family traveling to Mexico via San Diego.
This is really a feature for Joe Pesci humor, style and slapstick.
Really funny. A special treat for guys who are tough guy fans.
A little heavy with the F-b...
Case Logic Compact Portable Hard Drive Case (Black)
Amazon Price: $12.30
Case Logic GPSP-2 Professional GPS Case for 4.3-Inch Flatscreen GPS Navigators
Amazon Price: $8.99
Customer Review: I purchased this case for my Garmin Nuvi 1390T GPS. The case was exactly what I expected (i.e., "Durable, molded EVA exterior and soft jersey interior") as I had other similar Case Logic products. The GPS fit nicely in the "sleeved" area. What surprised me was that the cord fit into the case without any problem. I feel confident that the case will protect my GPS and feel that it was a great bargain for the price.
timi & leslie Convertible Charlie II Diaper Bag, Black
Amazon Price: $149.99
Customer Review: Good bag overall. Light weight and roomy with many pockets. One down side is that there's only one bottle storing area which is not enough for someone who needs to carry pumped breast milk out.
timi & leslie 2 in 1 Backpack Diaper Bag, Sahara Brown
Amazon Price: $69.99
Taylor #8120 Digital Luggage Scale
Amazon Price: $15.25
Customer Review: I owned the Lewis & Clark Luggage Scale ($24.99 when I bought it) and it was hard to use & was not accurate. I sent it back after I got hit with an Overweight fee at the airport. I got this Taylor one for $12.99 and has been spot on compared to the Airport scale in WPB. This is a small, lightweight item and a great value ! I believe that if you intend on traveling - you buy this product, a small price top pay vs Overweight fees from the Airline....believe me !
Marpac Sound Conditioner SleepMate 580A Sound Machine
Amazon Price: $40.95
Customer Review: I am a horrible sleeper, one of those people who wakes up at every little noise. I also work nights and needed to find a sound machine that would drown out the everyday noise of city living. Prior to buying this sound machine, I had tried a few less expensive ones. Not one of them met my needs.
After reading some reviews, I decided to purchase the Marpac Sound Conditioner SleepMate and I can honestly say that I love it. I've had it for over a year and use it every day not only...

I LIKE TO DEAL WITH MERCHANTS THAT LIST WITH AMAZON, BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU FEEL SECURE WHEN BUYING FROM THE NET. GOT TO GO.
Teal Travel Jewelry Case Organizer
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Be careful to measure out the size before ordering. I expected it to be small, but was unpleasantly surprised to see how tiny it is. Not a usable size in my book. Much more blue than teal in color.

Amazon Price: $20.54
Customer Review: This is bright pink inside and super easy to carry, parks in the fridge no problem and collapses nicely at the end of the day. Thanks for a great product!

Amazon Price:
Customer Review: The shipping was on time & the quality of JanSport never seems to fail me! I'm finally ready for school.
Baby Bjorn Baby Air Carrier, Grey/White
Amazon Price: $74.72
Customer Review: I bought this carrier because my son likes to face out, and the carrier that we had does not support that. Also, he was born on the smaller side, and Baby Bjorn carriers are made to carry babies as small as 8 lbs, so we could use it comfortably sooner. My only complaint is that the shoulder straps are not very padded, so as the baby gets heavier it gets a little harder on your shoulders (this is why I gave it only 4 stars).
It was delivered in a timely manner and the product was n...
Built One-Bottle Tote, Black
Amazon Price: $9.53
Customer Review: This wine holder is great for bringing a bottle of wine to a BYOB restaurant. I tend to go to a lot of BYOBs in Philadelphia where I live so I will be using this a lot.
Travelon Hanging Toiletry Kit, Red, One Size
Amazon Price: $26.24
Customer Review: First, I'm not so sure I would hang this bag, but other than that, it's wonderful. It was the perfect size for my suitcase and held everything I needed. It held a full size shampoo, conditioner, 2 kinds of lotion, 2 sticks of deodorant, plus numerous travel size toiletries, sunscreen bottles, a small hairbrush, medicine bottles, toothbrush, and several other items. WOW! It was super easy to pack and take with me, the zippers were smooth and didn't jam, and just the right size. I'd highly recomme...
baggallini Curling Iron Cover.Bagg - Rip Stop Nylon (Orange)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: You can really put a completely hot iron in here! i have a large 1 1/2 inch iron and it fits great, even with the cord wound around. this makes it possible to put my iron away as soon as i'm done, avoiding dangers for my kids and avoiding a messy looking counter. i'm so glad i got it! it's awesome for travel, too, of course.
Jansport Backpack Collection
Amazon Price:
Rick Steves Silk Money Belt
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I ordered this money belt for a recent trip to Europe. I wore it just about every day over a 10-day period, positioning it on my lower back, just below the waist line. I honestly could not even tell if it was there unless I checked for it (this was kind of surprising because I usually had it fairly well stuffed with things like paper bills, driver's license, debit card, extra credit card, and (sometimes) my passport). As others have noted, the waist belt is a bit long, but this wasn't problem at...
Pelican 1506TSA Pelilock 1506 TSA Approved
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: If your fingers are hurting it is tough to unhook the cable after the combo is put in. Other than that, works!
Deluxe Beach Umbrella Shoulder Carry Bag
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I was given a beach umbrella with no bag. I carried the two pieces to the beach with all of my other beach stuff = no fun!
I found this bag online and thought let's give it a try.
Pros: The bag holds my umbrella and has some extra room for a few other umbrellas accessories that I have found (Pole R Bear) Umbrella Hook for Towels/Camera/Bags. the sholder sling to carry is great and I don't even know that I am carrying it! It's made well and I am so happy I bought i...

Eagle Creek UnderCover? Security Wallet (Khaki)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Just got back from a trip to Italy! This wallet did everything it said it would do and then some. It was great not to have to fumble around going thru customs trying to find my drivers license, passport and boarding pass. This is a must item if your traveling anywhere, because every thing you need is right at your fingertips. Also Amazon was great at getting it to me in a timely manner. Thanks Again!
Protec Deluxe Trumpet Bag
Amazon Price: $52.94
Customer Review: My husband really like it so much as it is light, looks durable and easy to carry. On the other hand, how i wish that the side pocket is a little bit bigger/wider so when you put the mute inside, it will not stretch the zipper and doesn't look like that you are forcing to squeeze the mute inside inorder to be accommodated.
Protec Flute Case Cover
Amazon Price: $28.48
Customer Review: This is an awesome holder for a flute case! The outside pocket is great for the flute cleaning supplies and or a piccolo. {I don't own a piccolo but a lot of other people have said so}. I got this case a few months ago and it has so far worked great! It's a little big but other than that this is the best flute case I have ever gotten!

Case Logic PLS-9 Ultraportable Netbook Sleeve for 7-Inch to 10-Inch Netbooks ...
Amazon Price: $16.49
Customer Review: Case has a separate pocket for mouse, etc. Appears well made and does have some padding. If you are thinking of just a sleeve this might be a bit thick to put in another case. As a stand alone case I would recommend it without reservation.

Caselogic SLRC-201 SLR Zoom Holster (Black)
Amazon Price: $30.05
Customer Review: I bought this case to use with my Sony Alpha 330 camera with the basic zoom lens. I wanted a case that could protect the camera, allow it to be carried more easily, and one from which the camera could be removed easily. The SLRC-201 easily hits all of these points.
Protection: I like the suspension system for the camera and the fact that it has a hard, rubberized bottom. My camera fell 5 feet onto cement at an amusement park without any damage to the camera. Definitely happy wi...
Caselogic UNZB-2 Compact Camera Case (Black)
Amazon Price: $9.99
Customer Review: It a nice cover and it snugly fits my camera. The material is soft and has a semi-hard front for protecting the camera lens portion.

CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle with Bite Valve
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Works very well, and is pretty durable. The best bottle i have ever had. Only complaint is that after a year of everyday use, it started to leak a little because of being over tightened. So just be careful with it and it should last a while. I hand wash it, but i suppose it would be fine in the top rack of a dishwasher.

Master Lock 4683Q TSA-Approved Nickel Keyed Alike Luggage/Baggage Lock, 4-Pack
Amazon Price: $10.29
Customer Review: I recently travelled out of the country and wanted to leave my suitcases locked in my hotel rooms with valuables. I guess they serve as a visual deterrent only, but for real security they are worthless. I locked the one of the keys in the suitcase at one point and easily popped it open with the back of a spoon. For real security I will look elsewhere next time.
Pokemon Backpack - 'Pikachu and Ash'
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: My son wanted a Pokemon backpack but couldn't find it at local stores like Target or Sears. So, I found this one on Amazon & ordered it. My son was very happy to receive the backpack & found it cute. The front pocket with zipper is great & good size to put his snacks. But, the material for the bottle-water pockets was poor & torn after 2 weeks. I did find some other Pokemon backpacks at a local Chinese store on Clement Street in San Francisco for $16.99. Will probably buy there in the futu...
LEGO® CITY ZipBin® Toy Box & Playmat
Amazon Price: $14.33
Customer Review: I wanted something to store our son's legos. This is perfect. It holds all of them, he can zip/unzip it himself, and it gives him a more even surface to build on than our carpet. We like it.
Luggage of the Gods [VHS]
Amazon Price:
Left Luggage [VHS]
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This powerfully emotional film from director/co-star Jeroen Krabbé works and sticks with you, despite some fundamental quirks. You've got to swallow the idea that we're set in Antwerp with the Scottish actress Laura Fraser as the lead, all set in English. We just saw I've Loved You So Long [Blu-ray] and the filmmakers there take the pains to write an explanation for Kristin Scott Thomas' English accent (the film's in French) into the script. Here, we get an inexplicable mixture of people and ...

Targus Wireless Stow-N-Go Keypad AKP01US
Amazon Price: $27.33
Customer Review: I've been using this keypad for a couple of years and definitely agree with the range issues mentioned by other reviewers. Within 2 feet seemed to be the working range and anything outside that was iffy. I really like the 00 key that many others don't have. It died when I tried to blow dust from around the keys with compressed air. That shouldn't have happened.
I'm looking for a replacement but it will not be this model.

Timbuk2 Cell Phone Case,Slate Blue,Small
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This review is for the X-small case. I purchased this for my Katana DLX, however, it turned out to be too small. I could not fasten the velcro tab. So many of the cell phone cases are too big. I have since used it for my ear bud. The small ear bud case for the motorola ones have been reviewed as being so small that the center button is depressed while in it. I ordered a zippered ear bud case to solve the problem. I use to put just the bud in a zippered part of my purse but often needed to put ot...
