00:01:46 SPEAKER_00
We've been doing a lot of planning recently for an upcoming two-week trip in europe and we realize that we have learned so many things over the last few years that we take for granted that everyone would know one of our goals in doing this podcast was to help those who want to travel more and better so we have come up with our list of tools that we use regularly and thought that we would share them with you. Some of these you may already be using, and that's great, but let's put the whole list together for you, and maybe you'll find a few new tricks along the way. And
00:02:17 SPEAKER_01
said, I just wanted to reiterate, as we go into this list, it's not just a bunch of things that we want you to download just to come up with a list. But these are things that we actually use. When we were preparing for this episode, we looked at our phones and talked about, you know, what are the apps that we're constantly opening when we're at the airport, when we're traveling, etc. And so again, these are things that we use, trip in and trip out and some tips to go along with them that we just think will be really helpful.
00:02:47 SPEAKER_00
And it's not just on our phones. Some of these are, quite honestly, when I'm sitting down planning for a trip, I like to use my laptop. I can look at pictures. I can have multiple things up on the screen at the same time. So I don't have to be flipping back and forth. Right. And you so, know, some of them are websites that you can get And to. so if you want to do it through your phone, that's fine. Or if you want to do it on your laptop, that's great, too.
00:03:15 SPEAKER_01
Yeah, and that's true. So I would say like in the planning phase, a lot of this would be like on a laptop, right? Some of the itinerary things we're going to talk about and some of those booking apps and stuff like that. But then like when you're actually traveling and you're, you know, on the go, then it tends to be, you know, some websites and links. And we're going to give you some tips for
00:03:34 SPEAKER_00
that. And we have an episode about planning a trip, but maybe it would be helpful just at the start here to do a little quick recap. So usually when we're planning a trip, the start here to do a little quick recap. So usually when we're planning a trip, we have an idea of where we want to go. And so we're starting with that. And from there, we're going to figure out, you know, places or activities that we want to do. And then based on those, we'll start looking for locations to stay and stuff like that. Right. So, you know, I have a spreadsheet that I use, and this is basically what we've turned into our itineraries, and we'll talk about that later. But as I go along in each of those areas, I fill out that itinerary. And so that's one of the reasons I like doing that on my laptop. And so when I'm booking hotels and stuff like that, I can get to all the features that these websites offer versus sometimes their mobile apps are very limited in what you can do and see.
00:04:33 SPEAKER_01
Yeah, that's true. And so if you want to know a lot more about how we go through that process, step by step, and we're kind of funny, like once we kind of get on the ball rolling on a trip, we kind of feel like, okay, we need to like get everything right. And we do have a process, right? This is what we look at first. And this is what we look at next, because you do have to make sure that you can, you know, the flights can work out with the rooms that you want, and you can get the things booked that you want to book. So we do have a step-by-step process. And so if you haven't heard that or you need some more tips about exactly how we go through that, head on over to episode 20 after you finish this one and listen to our tips and tricks and just kind of see. And this would be a great time to do it, as you're thinking about trips this spring, trips this summer, that would be a great time to do it, right? As you're thinking about trips this spring, trips this summer, that would be a great time to just kind of go through that process
00:05:27 SPEAKER_00
that process again. So these two episodes kind of back to back would be a great idea for anybody who's thinking about planning a trip. Like I said, you know, if you're an expert traveler out there, we're probably not going to tell you maybe even anything that you don't already know. But if you're that person out there that says, wow, you know, I really want to break the mold of just going to the same place over and over and over again, right? You're the person that we're talking to today because we want to give you some of our tips and tools that we use just to make this process easier.
00:06:02 SPEAKER_01
And this won't be an all-inclusive list, right? There's probably a few things that maybe we use occasionally that we're not going to talk about. But I would say these are the ones that we use over and over and over again. And the other thing I would say is if you've got something that you hear us talk about and you do it faster, easier, you've got a better way. You're like, hey, I use this and this is way better. Please help us out, right? Please tell us. Reach out to us through our email, through social media. You know, do it on the, you know, put a comment instead of a review here. You know, put a comment and this is how I do it. And that would be great. It would help us out. And then we can share that with our audience And too. that would be great, would help us And out. then we can share that with our audience too. And we would appreciate
00:06:47 SPEAKER_00
that. Let's go ahead and get started because we do have a good list here and we purposely want to keep this episode just a little bit shorter this week.
00:06:56 SPEAKER_01
number one, I would say download the mobile app for the airline that you have booked your flights on. So I have a bunch of them. You know, we typically fly Delta here in the US. But sometimes when we travel in Europe, that doesn't, you know, work out, we have connections on some other ones. So download those apps, be sure to create a login, be sure to sign up for their reward program, because you never know when you might, you know, use the points either with them or on a partner airline or what benefits that might just get you just for having signed up for that. And then make sure to load your reservation number into that app. And that is where you're going to want to do the online check-in. Add bags and, you know, if it's some of the discount airlines, you know, add your coffee, add your, you know, anything that they offer, you know, get your little upgraded seat, whatever it is. Be sure to add it in the app and avoid the hefty fees if you to check in or to add baggage at the airport. Yeah.
00:08:00 SPEAKER_00
know, one time we were, I believe, in Europe and Melissa had checked in online on her phone. I think she even told me to go check in online and I was doing something else. Totally forgot to do that. And so I said, oh, I'll just check in at the airport once we got there. And they actually charged me like a $75 check-in fee, which was ridiculous. But that's their policy. You have to check in online. Another thing I would say is, you know, Melissa, you were talking about joining their rewards program. Take like Delta. If you want to have free Wi-Fi on their flights, you have to be a member of their rewards program. So, you know, there are some perks like that that often come about. So I think that's a really good suggestion.
00:08:45 SPEAKER_01
Number two, I would say download the hotel booking app that you use to book or if you book with one of the big brands. That way that you can quickly get to your stay if they offer things like mobile check-in, you know, when your room's ready, let you know when your room is. Sometimes you can make room requests and amenity requests on those apps as well. So again, that's just handy to have. I know, for example, the Marriott app, you can do the online check-in, you can get the mobile key, you can go in there and change your preferences. Now, I know they don't always honor it, but you can say, okay, I like a high floor, I like these kind of pillows, you know, that kind of thing too. So again, just having that accessible and then also having your reservation, that's a great place to like have your reservation number and two, you know, we would recommend that you keep to keep it together on an itinerary. And we're going to talk about that in a minute, but just to have like a backup, okay, here is my reservation. And I've got proof that I have this reservation because we've had that instance before too, we get to a place and we're like, Oh, something happened. And, you know, we've gotten lucky and found a place, but that way you just kind of have that reassurance that it's there and it's in their
00:09:52 SPEAKER_00
And, you know, with the hotels, the same thing, they have a rewards program. They offer certain perks for their rewards members. And so by using the application, by making sure that your stay shows up in the app, that also makes sure that your rewards number gets applied as well.
00:10:11 SPEAKER_01
Yeah, that's a great point. And we've mentioned that before, but join those hotel rewards programs. Even if you don't travel a lot and stay a lot, a lot of those don't expire. And so that could add up over that could add over time for sure.
00:10:26 SPEAKER_00
right. Number three, TripAdvisor. Melissa, you've been using TripAdvisor since like 2015. You know, we were, I think, in Scotland or somewhere with our brother-in-law. We were somewhere with him traveling and we started talking about dinner. you know he said oh let me look that up real quick and you know what he found was the highest ranked restaurant in the area and so we went there it had great reviews and you know ended up being a great dinner and so trip advisor is really good for that it's also good for finding out what to do in an area. You you can what are things to do around me? know, say, And it can come up with
00:11:16 SPEAKER_01
Yeah. What I like to do for both of those things, right, because you can filter it near you me, know, the highest rank things for the, for restaurants, it can be near me and then it can be breakfast, lunch, dinner, and it can be like what kind of cuisine, right? As well. So you can kind of filter through that. And so that's super helpful for eating. But then we talked about in our Pittsburgh episode, we didn't have any plans when we went to town and it's like, okay, what are the things that we want to do? And I just went to TripAdvisor and I was like, okay, so for this, I want to know the highest rank things, right? And so, and that is how we said, oh yeah, the Andy Warhol Museum. That's right. That's here in Pittsburgh and it's right down the road from us. Oh, they have a botanical garden. That would be something that we enjoy. We could go to the National Aviary. I didn't know about those other two things. And that was fantastic, right? To be able to use that app and then filter that. And so then hand in hand, we'll kind of go right into the next one because, well, let me say first, before I go into the next one, is that you can make folders. You can say, okay, let me make a folder for Pittsburgh, right? And I can put all those and then I can like heart them. If I create an account, I can put a favorites on them and a heart on them. And then I can put them in that folder. So then it's easy for me to go back and find those things. Now, I will say I use that hand in hand now with Google Maps, because then I want to be able to put, OK, here is the location and then have all those things pinned. So yes, I have them pinned in TripAdvisor, but then I kind of pin them again in Google Maps. So then that way, once we get to a place, and I do this especially for restaurants, once we get to a place and it's not a place we're going to like make a reservation, but okay, it's going to get in time for dinner. What is near us though that I've already kind of looked up that got good reviews that, you know, got a lot of stars kind of pre vetted them instead of just randomly, okay, what's nearest. I mean, sometimes that works, but I really with restaurants, right? We like to kind of pre vet a little bit. And so that's, that's helpful as well. But then one thing that I feel like is more updated typically in Google maps are like days that they're open in hours and stuff like And so then you can quickly that. this is closed on Monday say, I okay, feel like is more updated typically or, in Google Maps are like days that they're open and hours and stuff like that. And so then you can quickly say, okay, this is closed on Monday or, okay, we got to hurry. They're only open till nine o'clock or something like that. And TripAdvisor, you know, they do have some of those things, but I don't know if they're always quite as up to date as what you find in Google. Yeah.
00:13:41 SPEAKER_00
of the other things about Google Maps that's very helpful is you can actually choose an area and save that map offline. And it'll even save your, you know, places that you've pinned on there. And so if you're in a place where you don't have good internet access, but you still need to get to this, you can get to it with offline maps. So that's, you know, really recommended. I'll tell you, I'm not a fan of Google Maps for driving directions or directions in general. I've just found too many times recently where it gets lost and then sends you in the middle of nowhere. And we've had that happen to us a number of times. I think Melissa thought I was crazy the first time I said that. But then she's been with me several times where, you know, it took us like into a subdivision and was like, hey, idiot, why are you in a subdivision? Turn around and go back out again. It's like you brought me here, you know. So I'm just not a fan of Google Maps for that. But if you don't have anything else, that offline map works and directions will work with the offline maps. So it is handy and has saved us on a number of occasions. When we were somewhere, we didn't have good data on our phones. And therefore, we couldn't get to, you know, a map or something like that to look stuff up.
00:15:06 SPEAKER_01
Yeah. So basically, you just go up to that top right hand corner. And so, of course, I will say, too, to use these features, you need to have like a Google login, right, in order to save this stuff. So you go to the top right hand corner, click your profile picture, and it'll have a drop down type thing. And you click download offline maps. And then it will let you select the area that you want to download. And then just be, make sure like, don't try to do this at the last minute. Do this when you have really good wifi or cell service that you don't mind having the download and then make sure you have enough time. You don't want to be like in a hurry to do this. So just that's something that you do need to plan ahead to do. that
00:15:42 SPEAKER_00
to do. And if you've used up all the memory on your phone and you don't have any space, just realize these maps can be pretty sizey at times.
00:15:51 SPEAKER_01
Yeah, that's a good point. The next one is a rideshare app. And again, it's handy to have these pre-downloaded on your phone, have a login created, have your credit card loaded, that kind of thing. So of course, our most popular favorite ones are going to be Uber and Lyft. And we like to have both of them just because sometimes the city may have one or the other. A lot of times I have this both and then you can just kind of compare and see. And then outside the U.S., we have found that there's one that's called Bolt. We've used that in Europe as well. And so that has been handy just to have an account for that and have that set up. We have found a few times that, and this has been not quite as recent, but gone to places where they may have then some kind of signs or something, use this or that. I remember specifically we were in Ireland. And this has been several years ago. So it might not even be something that exists. So I don't want to call the name of it. But we were in Ireland. And it was like, OK, this is the app you use. But this particular app, they didn't have Uber and Lyft, right? Because it was a lot of taxis there. But this was the app you could use to get the taxis. So just kind of be aware of that too. And you might could, you know, do some online research to see what else that you might need to do. But those are the ones that we typically use. And I wanted to point out too, that one of the credit cards that we have, one of the travel credit cards that we have actually gives you additional benefits like on Lyft. It gives you like access to Lyft Pink, which is just like more like higher end, I guess, but you get it for a little bit cheaper. So, you know, some travel credit cards might have some perks on those just so that might be something that you want to look into.
00:17:33 SPEAKER_00
want to, if you're going to travel outside the country, you're going to want to take a travel or have a currency converter, especially if you're in one of those countries where it's like 20,000 to one, right? Because those numbers get really large very quickly. And so you're sitting there, you're trying to do the math in your head, and inevitably, you're going to get it wrong. So it's good to have that currency converter to understand whether you're getting a good deal or not. And they're just really quick. You type in the local currency and then it'll convert it to USD or whatever your currency choice is. And they're very handy to have right there on your phone. Yeah. So
00:18:19 SPEAKER_01
to use a different one. Scott recently told me, hey, use this one called XE Currency. And I played around with it. I really do like it because you can do multiple currencies at once. So before I was having to go in and find, you know, if it wasn't, you know, euros or, you know, whatever pesos or I had to like go and switch it. So with this one, I can just have all of those. And then typically for me, then you would go in and put in, okay, if it's this many British pounds, okay, this is what it's going to be in dollars. And it just like is, okay, just makes it faster and easier when you're trying to shop and stuff like that. So that's a really good, that's a really good thing to have. And on a quick side note, get a travel credit card that doesn't have foreign transaction fees, and then make sure that you make your purchases in the local currency. And so this just helps you like you have, you know, travel protection on those things. And then you, you know, build up some extra travel points and stuff like that as well. Make sure that you're not paying extra to use those in a foreign country. The other thing that I would say while I'm thinking about this, too, is make sure to travel. Like if you like American Express, that's fine. But always travel with like a travel visa, too, because American Express might be accepted. The visa probably will. Make sure that you have a couple as well.
00:19:41 SPEAKER_00
of on that converter point of view, we would also recommend as number seven, a translation app. So if you're going to travel outside the country and the primary language is not your language, it's good to have a translation app. Google Translate's one that we use. This can be a real lifesaver. And, you know, nowadays they have a lot of really cool features that are built into them, such as a microphone. So you could, you could turn on the microphone and it'll pick up the conversation and do real time translation for you. But you could also type in what you want it to say, and it can, through the speaker, it can pronounce that back out to the other person. So it really helps you to not get caught up in a bind, you know, especially when in a foreign
00:20:34 SPEAKER_01
country. Yeah. And that's especially helpful for me is to have that where it pronounces it for you as well. So I like that feature. And I will say, like, this has changed a lot too, right? And it used to be that it would, it would show you the words and there's like, okay, or you'd have to figure out how to, you know, typing it in. So I do like, you know, the updates they've
00:20:54 SPEAKER_00
time. So number eight is Google flights. You know, we do our planning usually on the computer. And so, you know, Google Flights is one of the tools that we would use in planning. But you think that it's good to also have on your phone?
00:21:11 SPEAKER_01
I do think it's good to have on your phone as well, just to see. Sometimes you want to kind of check it on the go. And the other reason I like it is that you can actually set alerts, right? So let's say you're watching a flight and you're kind of in the early stages of planning, but you're not quite sure. And maybe you're watching some, you know, different situations and different days. You can actually set an alert. OK, I want to go from here to here around this time, kind of pick some flights. And then it's going to let you know, you know, when those prices drop and you can set it to send you emails. But then also, if you have that app, it's going to kind of like give you you know give you some updates on that too but then there's
00:21:47 SPEAKER_00
then there's some other apps that are really good for finding like the best time to travel and stuff like that yeah
00:21:55 SPEAKER_01
well so you can you can do that in some of the features now as far as the google flights app not as easily but now if you do the Google flights on your computer, then yes, it's going to show you like you'll actually be able to see like some features like you can, it'll show you like on the different days, you know, what the prices kind of how they vary. But then you can also look at different locations, right? So maybe you usually fly out of, you know, some certain airport that's closer to you, or you're flying, you think, okay, I'm gonna fly into this airport. But Google Flights just has some also some features where you can say, okay, around this area or close to this other area. Those are only available on the desktop. So you can get into all that here, but play around with it. And that's some features that that has that could save you a lot of money.
00:22:44 SPEAKER_00
And Google's probably gonna hate us for saying this, but don't book the flight through Google Flights or Kayak or any of those other sites. Go shop that deal on the local or on the actual airline.
00:23:00 SPEAKER_01
Right. And that just makes it easier. Like if the flight is delayed, it's canceled, it's whatever, you've got to make some changes. It is definitely best to have booked with that airline. to because then that way when you're traveling, it just provides you easy access to the credit card information, right? So you, something happens and you lose a credit card, you've got some fraudulent charges, that kind of thing. You leave your credit card somewhere, you can, a lot of these now you can like toggle on and off if that credit card can be used and you can, you know, you can contact them. We also think that's a good idea like in your banking apps to let them know when and where that you're traveling. But it just gives you a fast way to like, OK, here's how I would contact them and that kind of thing. So any credit cards that you're bringing along with you, your bank and stuff like that, just have those ready on the go with the apps or the websites downloaded to your phone. with the apps
00:24:03 SPEAKER_00
phone. Yeah, one time we were in Portugal and I remember getting a call from the bank. Well, they were putting me on hold, you know, while they did a bunch of stuff. And this was a long-distance call. And so instead I pulled out the app, used the app, and went through and was able to tell them this was a proper charge and stuff like that. So yeah, I think it's just helpful to have those apps installed.
00:24:26 SPEAKER_01
yeah, I think it's
00:24:30 SPEAKER_01
Yeah, because then you could use like the chat features and stuff too, right? As well, if you needed to maybe. And
00:24:35 SPEAKER_00
you're on really long flights, Melissa, and you have found an app that's sitting in our number 10 spot called Uplift. an app that's sitting in
00:24:45 SPEAKER_01
so we talk Yeah, in great detail about how to minimize the effects of jet lag. And this is in episode six, because we've just found some tips and techniques. But part of that is using this Uplift app, which you use pressure points. You just take a few minutes. Once you land, you put in a little bit of information about your trip. You spend five minutes or so pressing on these pressure points. And it has been a game changer for us. It, I get it. It seems like a little bit strange. And a lot of people are like, we tell them about it and I was like, oh, whatever. But you know, we talk about it that in episode six that I swore by it. Scott was miserable on a trip. And now he's like, OK, yeah, this is this really works. So go listen to episode six. You can hear our whole process. It's a pretty short episode, but we think that you're going to be like, wow, OK, this is like life changing when you do long distance travel.
00:25:40 SPEAKER_00
And so wrapping up our list, one of the newest features that we've put on Sunshine Travelers website is our itineraries. And we've started posting many of our itineraries there. It's sunshinetravelers.com slash itineraries. This gives you quick access to all the information. You know, how did we get there, where we stayed, what we ate, and what we did. You how did we get where we what we ate and what know, we did. there, stayed, So all you have to do is if you really don't want to go through the hassle of planning out a just go pull that itinerary down. trip, And we've taken care of all of the research for you. If you're a more seasoned traveler, this is going to help to spur on your research on a location you and, hear know, directly from us about what worked and what didn't work. But if you're that person and maybe you want to do a surprise trip somewhere, right? Maybe your partner is the person who always plans everything, but you want to be a hero this year. Go get that itinerary, pull it down. We've taken care of everything for you and you could be a hero this go year, get that itinerary, pull it We've down. taken care of everything for you and you could be a star. Yeah.
00:26:49 SPEAKER_01
it's, they're totally customizable. So like it also just give you a great starting point. And listen, we love to ask people for recommendations too. So a lot of the places that we eat are places that people have told us about as well. And so just passing those along the ones that we liked. So, you know, if we didn't have a good experience, we're not going to put it on there. The ones that we liked or we're going to put on there. Okay, this was recommended, et cetera. So again, these are based on trips that we have taken. But please let us know what other destinations that you would like to see added. And I am certainly happy to do the research and plan the trip and go on the trip and create the itinerary for you.
00:27:29 SPEAKER_00
talk about a few other tips. You know, one of the things that you were talking about, Melissa, is organizing stuff on your phone.
00:27:38 SPEAKER_01
Yes. So we've got Google Flights. We've got Translate. We've got Currency Converter. We've got these hotel apps and these airline apps. And you've just got all these apps and website links and stuff like that on your phone, put them in a folder. And
00:27:51 SPEAKER_00
you're like me, you've got pages and pages and pages and pages of apps on your phone. Yeah, so
00:27:56 SPEAKER_01
do use the search feature a lot. So where I like just swipe down and like type it in. But it's handy to have them all together, especially if you can't remember, oh, like sometimes that the apps name something a little weird or something like that. So I'll just put a little folder and say, you know, it could be travel, it could be airlines, it could be like however you want to organize it, but in a way that makes sense for you. And, and if it's, if it's not an app, and it's a website that you go to, for example, you can you actually, you go know, for to, you can example, actually, you know, you go to that and go where you're like going to share that. And instead of sharing it, go to add to home screen. And so then it basically just like it looks like it's an app on your phone, but it's just a link to that website page. And so that can be a great way to like have all that stuff, you know, together instead of having to go and open your browser and you then, together know, instead of having to go and open your browser and then, you know, type that in, etc. So I have a folder on my phone that I created in 2019. That's called Europe trip. And it was for our six weeks trip to Europe. And in that specific one are the ones that I typically use for Europe then use for Europe now, for example, the Bolt app or some of the airlines that we only fly there, you know, Ryanair, Austrian Air, Aegean Air that, you know, that we're going to use in the near future. And so just remember that many apps, of course, these websites, but many apps too require you to have the internet or Wi-Fi.
00:29:22 SPEAKER_00
And speaking of internet, we use T-Mobile and here's why. Used to when you went in-country, most of those countries were limited to 2G access. So you got like 156k up and down. I mean, it was slow internet. It was workable, but you know, with today's modern apps, they're very data heavy. And so those really low speeds just don't work. But with T-Mobile, you can now include it in a lot of the packages. You can get that high speed internet once you land in country, and it's just part of your package. So you don't have to pay anything more to get that access. And if you're somewhere where, you know, they don't have the high speed as a part of the standard package, it's real cheap just to have it added on. I know I had a Verizon plan and Xfinity plan at one point, and those actually charged you by the day. charged you by the you $10 or $30 or however much per day to add that And then, day. So, know, on. you
00:30:33 SPEAKER_01
know, with T-Mobile, it's just part of the plan that you have. Yeah. And used to be, it was still a good deal, but to get that high speed, it was like $50 for a month. And I thought that was a great deal compared to some of these other ones where you're saying it's like $10 a day. I was like, oh, that's a great deal. But when we went recently and upgraded our phones and they're like, okay, if you get this plan, you can get this kind of discount and that kind of thing. And they're like, oh, and this international is included at the high speed. And a lot of countries, probably most of the countries that we're going to travel to, I was like, you are kidding. Like that for us, for you, that might be that's a great deal, right? I used to have to go buy SIM cards and do all this stuff or pay the ten dollars a day. And so this is not sponsored or anything like that. But just to be aware that if you travel a lot like that is something that you might want to look into.
00:31:19 SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I was going to make that point. We're not sponsored by T-Mobile. It's just something that we have figured out and thought we would share with
00:31:26 SPEAKER_01
you. And I don't think that it's something that they super duper advertise, right? Because I haven't seen like any commercials about it or anything like that. But when they were going through these benefits, it was just like, oh, hey, this is whatever. And I was just shocked. So that's something that has been super helpful for us. And literally, once you do your phone off of airplane mode, it is welcome to wherever. And even when you had the Xfinity and you had added that, it took you two days when we were in Slovakia to get that added. And you had to go back and forth with them. And it really was a hassle. And you were paying for it. And it was ridiculous. So, you guys, if you travel a lot, you really might want to look into
00:32:07 SPEAKER_00
