Where Travel and Learning Come Together
Check out this silly video we made showing our storage solution for shoes and water bottles. This rack system is called Sunnersta and we got ours at Ikea. We keep one set in the bathroom to keep toothbrushes in. We had one in our motorhome to store pens, pencils and random small things that just…
We were offered the KING Omni GO OA1501 portable Omnidirectional HDTV antenna to test and write a review on. First let’s disclose that we were provided the antenna at no charge in exchange for testing and review. But we are giving an honest review and thorough test of this product.
