Honeymooning in Jamaica Tips and Tricks

After my wife and I got married we went on our honeymoon in Jamaica.  It was absolutely everything we wanted it to be but reflecting on the trip there are some things that we wish we would have known before we ventured out.

1. Have transportation from the airport to your hotel
Walking out of the airport after customs is a crazy experience.  There are people trying to sell you everything from souvenirs, to alcohol, to transportation to your hotel.  Transportation to your hotel is the most important item but then comes who do you trust in a new country.  This can all be taken care of there but if you do not want the added stress there then make plans ahead of time.  This can be done several ways but I would suggest you call the hotel you are staying at and ask them to recommend some companies.  Then call the companies and make your reservation.

How to be Productive While in the Car

I spend many hours every week in the car between commuting to work and driving places for my work.  I used to listen to the radio but as my life became busier and busier I wanted that time to be productive in some way to allow me to relax when I got home.  These are the four ways I try and use the time in my car and all of these ways use my smartphone.

1. Listen to podcasts
The first way I thought about being more productive was to make myself a better person by listening to self-help items on the radio.  I found that it was easier for me to find items that could educate me in a number of different areas.  To load the podcasts onto my smartphone I use iTunes along with SyncTunes (the free version).  I chose podcasts dealing with personal finance (Dave Ramsey and Money Girl), religion (Your Move), and psychology (The Savvy Physiologist).
