One category Seven Stars Grace Bay Beach Resort is very interested in is of course the travel apps. There are plenty of different ones, from apps that organize your travel itinerary to those who convert your currency to those who help you translate ‘restrooms’ in any language. Take for example the Yelp app which is available on the Android and Palm Pre which helps you find places to eat, shop, drink and play with reviews. There’s also the Streetmuseum one which is created by the Museum of London and gives travelers an insight into the country’s history. Once you’re next to a featured location, all you need to do is hold you camera and you’ll see what that same spot looked like hudreds of years ago. MetrO is another great app for traveling folks.

On the MetrO app, you’ll find routes searchable by railway, subway, bus and Tram.

Traveling Bags That Will Save You Money

Traveling has gotten expensive lately, with fuel surcharges, blanket fees and baggage fees, it has gotten pretty ridiculous. It’s even expensive around the airport with having to purchase food in small overpriced cafes because they’re not serving food onboard planes anymore or rarely. But Seven Stars Resort and Hotel in Grace Bay Beach still want you to visit and enjoy the very best that Turks and Caicos has to offer so we’re here to help with a few bags that can help you save money. The roller such as Delsey’s newest 21-inch Helium Fusion Lite is just over nine pounds and is rolled around on inline skate type of wheels. You can get it for about $90 according to CNN online. There’s a backpack that’s great for traveling called the Reisenthel Mini Max. It can transform into a wallet-size pouch and tucked away in your suitcase in case you don’t need the extra bag on your way back from your trip or for later use. And keep looking on your won for lighter suitcases, because the lighter the weight, the more you can pack into one bag and won’t have to check in multiple bags and pay multiple times.

Celebrating the Wheeled Suitcase

US Luggage debuted its wheeled suitcase in 1970. According to CNN, Bernard Sadow had trouble selling his rolling suitcase idea. He showed the idea to department stores in New York City and to buying offices but everybody thought he was crazy to attach wheels to luggage. He was inspired himself with the idea when he was going through customs in Puerto Rico with two large 27-inch suitcases that were tightly packed and didn’t have any help with them when he saw someone moving a piece of machinery on a wheeled platform. So he attached four casters to the bottom of a suitcase and added a flexible strap and tried selling his new wheeled luggage with the suitcase trailing behind him. He finally impressed the vice president of Macy’s and Sadow applied for a US patent in 1970 and in 1972 he got the first successful patent on wheeled suitcases. It took almost 20 years for the next advancement in rolling luggage. Today’s luggage, pulled on two wheels with a retractable handle was invented in the 80s by Northwest Airlines pilot Bob Plath.
