What am I talking about? If you're a reader of Budget Travel magazine, you no doubt laugh at the funny top 20 tips from readers each month. Most of them are hilarious little strange things that middle-aged travelers do to make themselves more comfortable while on the road -- like bringing hooks with you when you travel in case your hotel room doesn't have anywhere to hang your towel or save shower caps from hotels to put over your bike helmet when it rains. Every once in a while you get a gem. Mine was one of those gems.
I'm tip number 2 this month in Budget Travel magazine! Grab it on newstands or check it out online.
For getting my tip featured I get a year's subscription to Budget Travel--not bad.
What's my tip you ask?
"2. Vacation education Anytime I plan a trip, I subscribe to blog feeds and news from the area I'm visiting. It helps me catch up on the culture and gets me even more excited about what's to come! Megan Stokes, Boston, Mass."
Here's a little how to do this.
*Go to reader.google.com.
*Sign in with your gmail account (or get one).
*Click on the add a subscription button and type in keywords like "Mexico" "Budget Travel" "Lativian News" or "Boston Art."
*Visit the website whenever you want and new blog entries will show up in one convenient place to read them all.

If you sign up--let me know! I really want to get some more folks on Google Reader. There's a 'bookmark with comment' function that I love. You can then follow your friend's articles that they like and comment on. Pretty neat and a much better way to share interesting stuff than forwarding. Check out the little box to the right that says "Megan's shared items," it's a sampled of my bookmarked articles from Google Reader.
