Peninsular Hotel, Chicago IL: A Heavenly Tablet That Does It All


The super-upscale hotel now provides its computer-hip guests at check-in a glowing tablet. Not quite as creative as the one Moses brought down from the mountaintop, it offers a single electronic touch device that does everything to make the Peninsular visit spectacular. 

The tablet includes control of all in-room functions, displaying restaurant menus, all hotel services and access to all channels of the guest’s TV set. Also, calls for maid and valet services, room security, same-day weather info, room temperature control and many other available services. For more info, go to www.peninsula.com/Chicago

Smoosh! How To Pancake For Carry-On Bag Flight PDF Print E-mail


When full of neatly-folded clothing, a loaded Ziploc Space Bag looks like a stack of pancakes or even the hair-do of a certain presidential candidate. The purpose of the bag is to allow 70% more space in your travel luggage.

Back to basics. When you’re packing for a trip, start by putting everything you absolutely need on the bed. Then, as reality hits you, take away half of the stuff. Stack your clothes neatly in the bag, zip it almost closed, then press out all the air. This process makes your clothes more compact and therefore easier to pack. Bags cost from about $7 each.
