The Because Show – Ep 15 – Getting There

Do you have any resolutions this year? I bet you do. Is it as interesting as Amy’s resolution to become more orgasmic during sex?  Or as mundane as my resolution to avoid spending money at Starbucks? Or perhaps somewhere in between? In this episode we talk about different ways to ‘get there’ whether it’s travel or umm…other things.

One really great resolution is: no more running out of gas. See the strandedness of my car as my family traveled out of California into Arizona.

Thank goodness for AAA and portable DVD players, that’s all I can say.

Brunch! We’ve been invited to brunch by Andy of The Table Set  podcast and of course, we are excited! What do you wear to a casual brunch in January in Los Angeles? This sounds like a good question for Andrea of Your Fashion Story.  Maybe I’ll get in touch with Whitney of The Crush to ask her what wine to bring to a brunch. Brunch! It’s one of those combo words that just makes sense.

On a different side of ‘getting there’ – wouldn’t be nice to travel a teensy bit more? To squeeze in at least one family vacation in 2012?  I think so.  One of my resolutions is to make a family vacation happen this year. Maybe to NYC?  Not sure yet, but I found a few websites to help me get there.

Yapta.com Will track price fare fluctuations for you and notify when is best time to buy your tickets. Also will send an email alert if your price fare goes down allowing you to get a refund! Why wouldn’t you use this site?

Kayak.com Will search hundreds of travel sites and aggregate the results to tell you the best travel deals. So you don’t have to go back and forth and check them yourself.

Yipit.com Another aggregator site that will collect all the group on/living social/coupony discounts into one perfect email tailored to your individual preferences. This ain’t solely a travel site, it will search for travel packages but also services, meals and other daily deals. A penny saved is a penny earned, right?

Thanks for all the great iTunes reviews! We like it.

We’re looking forward to bringing you more episodes to stick in your ears throughout 2012!

And I’ll leave you with a picture of Amy shopping it out in honor of her new job.
