App List
I have a friend who is leaving for a 5-week trip to Mexico tomorrow and just got a new iPhone. I had some suggestions for apps to get before departure, and while I was looking for the links I found a few additional ones. I thought I'd put them here because it's a pretty good list IMHO...
Hi friend!
It was nice chatting with you last night! I hope everything is going
well with your preparations to leave tomorrow.
As promised, here are some apps that I recommend for your trip, and
some additional fun ones for anytime.
WiFi Finder -- Haven't used this, but looks helpful.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/ app/wi-fi-finder/id300708497? mt=8
Flight Aware -- I use this one for tracking flights when family is traveling. I think it would be helpful for you, too.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/ app/flightaware-flight- tracker/id316793974?mt=8
Converter+ -- for currency, metric, tips, etc.. I like this one but don't have a use for it often.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/ app/converter-plus-free/ id370146222?mt=8
Air BnB -- This one was a lifesaver when we were trying to find places to stay in Europe. You can sub-let people's apartments through this one.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/ app/airbnb/id401626263?mt=8
Google Search -- Just found this. It has "Google Goggles" which tells you what something is by taking a picture of it. Wow!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/ app/google-search/id284815942? mt=8
Orient -- Another one that looks helpful. I should have done this research before my last trip!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/ app/orient/id362987455?mt=8
uPacking List -- OOO!! I'm downloading this one immediately. Looks awesome for a list-maker like me.

Trip Splitter -- This one looks super helpful for traveling with a group! Just had to throw it in there.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/ app/trip-splitter/id374395458? mt=8
Vonage -- the one Mr. B and I use for making phone calls via WiFi.

Map My Run!

Flashlight - this is the one I have, there a a zillion of them out there.
