Here are a couple of pieces of travel technology for families you may find useful this season.<\/p>\n<h2>TripIt App<\/h2>\n<p>We have<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>found<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>TripIt to be very helpful in organizing travel plans, both before and during your trip. You load any confirmation emails (hotel, car rental, flight, restaurant, etc.) into the app, and it creates a master itinerary that includes all of your bookings in one place. You can then view your itinerary any time from any device, even if you&#8217;re not online. You can then add or edit your plans, sync your itinerary with your calendar, and share with others. The app is free, but they also have a paid plan that lets you access more features, such as getting real-time flight alerts, searching for a different seat or alternate flights, and more. Check out more information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripit.com\/web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. We hope you find it as useful as we do.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart Home Security<\/h2>\n<p>Remember the old days when you\u00a0had to rely on neighbors and friends to check on your house when you went out of town? Now there are smart alarm and surveillance packages that will keep your home safe and let you monitor what&#8217;s happening from afar.\u00a0You can remotely control things like door locks, lawnmowers, lights, thermostats, vacuums, and even pet feeders, using your smartphone and an app. PC Magazine recently published an article that compares several smart home security plans and discusses the components, integration, and application of the systems, and displays reviews of each one, along with advice on doing it yourself or having a professional service handle it.
