​As the digital world becomes increasingly more prominent, many companies have made or are making the shift to online access. It is amazing how much you can accomplish online these days! You can buy shoes and home furnishings, pay bills and transfer money, apply for and post jobs, buy plane tickets or concert passes, access online courses and even download library books in digital format – the possibilities are literally endless! But with all those online accounts, that’s a lot of password to remember, isn’t it? LastPass is the answer.

I’ve included a few of my TripAdvisor reviews on the meals and hotel below too.
