This is the podcast/video channel for the "Gear Up and Go" podcast videostream covering all the apps, hardware, and devices that you use to help you with travel. Marty Jencius, and his son Will Jencius, will talk about all these tools and more on the live stream Sunday nights at 9 PM EST. Look for video archives here, and also on all your podcast services.
The best meal of your trip probably will not come from the exit you pick at 70 mph; it will come from the five minutes you spent the night before, and that hot meal in the dining car may be the one you regret.
