Super Software For Successful Summer Sabbatical Abroad
Schools are out in two weeks and suitcases are being readied for the great getaway.
Smartphones are already and waiting for some of the best software to plan ahead for summer sabbaticals.
Take XR Currency, a free App for major platforms.
It keeps itself updated with exchange rates and converts foreign prices in an instant whilst shopping in the souk or browsing in a bistro.
Twenty five million downloads can’t be wrong, load it up before reaching the boarding gate. Long before leaving for the airport, it might be wise to check out TripList.
A free version with ads, or ad exempt copy for a princely 69 pence, will prompt you through the things those suitcases may need in them, creating a checklist for ticking off.
Better than a scrap of paper and a list from your head, which might still overlook something vital.
What is more, TripList will hang on to that list to help with packing on the return journey.
If TripList says the case has yet to go, it may just be lurking under the hotel bed. It might even be a helpful starting point for next year’s holiday as well.
If your trip is to the Far East or distant west and you face a migration through multiple time zones then jetlag Genie, at just a little over two pounds, is an App to plan ahead with.
Tell it when you are travelling, where you are going and when you typically sleep and it will recommend a sleeping schedule designed to lessen the hammer blow of arriving on Sunday while your body thinks it is already Monday.
