Here’s a website for all of those world travelers out there: Hazelmail.com. The site allows you to keep in touch with family members through personalized postcards that Hazelmail will send out for you.
How does it work? First, upload an image, either from the Lonely Planet archives or one of your own snaps. Next, add a frame and play around with the image to make it perfect. After that, type in your message and recipient’s address. And finally, click ‘Mail’! Your postcard will be sent out by Hazelmail in a couple of business days.
The postcards cost $1.50 US each, or $1 if you commit to $12 worth of credits (a.k.a. Hazelbucks).
Okay, so we don’t have Virgin America flying out of Canada just yet (let’s be hopeful!), but man-oh-man would I love to cruise the air in one of their jumbo jets. Check out the pic below of their first class lounger chair:
Not only do the lounger chairs look great all done up in white leather, but guests are treated to the full VIP tech treatment too. You can plug in your laptop and surf the web, play video games, or watch a movie on the screen in front of you. Are you and your friend sitting at opposite sides of the plane? No worries there — Virgin has introduced the Seat-to-Chat feature where you can have an instant messaging convo with other people on the flight. And, if you want to tune out the chatty person seated next to you, scroll through the 3000 MP3’s available at the press of a button.
Picky eaters aren’t left behind either. Choose what you want from an a la carte menu on your personal screen and just swipe your credit card to pay. Even better? Virgin strives to give you the best flying experience for the lowest price possible. I’d say that’s a mantra that sounds pretty sweet!
