Liveluggae (mobile luggage) mention is not an alien subject to me. It’s being there in my fantasies for long and I used to wonder its possibility in a conceptual form. But with LiveLuggage, today I feel fortunate to have a realistic solution to my flying problems.
The LiveLuggage PA Series is the first power-assisted valise that infuses life into your wild yet sensible ideas. Every large wheel features an electric motor that makes the entire exercise of dragging the suitcase quite easy and it may seem as if you are pulling a light backpack. In absence of any ‘throttle’ button on handle, it makes use of sensors to perceive when you’ve initiated the process of pulling the suitcase and eventually the integrated motor starts its job of pushing it. The ‘anti-gravity’ handles allows the suitcase to bend back while you’re heaving it and putting 85% of its weight straight onto the wheels.

The power driver motors are charged via rechargeable 12V NiMH battery that has a life of about two-hours on a single charge. It does come with a built-in charger and wheels behave like a generator when you move downhill.

Respecting security concerns, it has incorporated TSA approved tumbler lock enabling the holder unlock it within no time. Another feature of ‘Live Locator’ bearing a distinctive serial number on every model enables the company identifies the concerned owner by checking its database. Retailed at $1,365.25, it would surely be a feast to many travelers’ relieving them from their worry of loading tones of belongings’.

Call them Botels or floating hotels, these are hotels installed within the boats offering you an interesting stay waterside. It is great way of killing your worry to hunt for a port-to-port stoppage while cruising and hence saving your time. They say the lodging offers a rocking-to-sleep impression and the sound of lapping water but I wonder if one wants similar features, why wouldn’t he go for a complete-service cruise instead. Well, there is no word on its pricing but a clear view at the interiors of the botel would enable you take a call about your visit there. Folks, who wish to stop through Stockholm, Budapest or Prague should certainly look for another staying option as these botels certainly cannot be your run-of-the-mill lodging option.

Ask travel freaks: What gives immense pleasure to their soul? And obvious repartee would be undergoing a cruise and exploring the hidden geographies. But little were they aware that they would get a chance to enjoy a luxurious trip at the Amazon until a company called Aqua Expeditions came up with one. A province was formerly impervious to the trinkets of 280-thread-count sheets and en-suite air conditioning. The company’s boat dubbed as the M/V Aqua looks like a suspended boutique lodge with a dining room, indoor and outdoor reclines and a surveillance deck and boutique.
Developed and designed by Peruvian architect Jordi Puig, this vessel has eight groups and four master suites that feature huge windows, thereby offering its inhabitants a 180-degree view of the waterway landscape.

Voyages on this yacht are typically planned around the swamped season that fall between June-November and dry season between December-May. These tours are for three, four and seven nights and begin in Iquitos, Peru.

It offers a pre-dinner cocktails fun to its customers in the under-sky lounge followed by a Peruvian food cooked by one of Lima’s hottest chefs! It would cost you $1950 per person or more depending upon the facilities asked for.
