My First App—Vacation Planning Just Got Easier

I admit, I am pretty behind the times—I read paper books, I almost exclusively work at a desktop computer, and my phone does little more than make phone calls and send texts (my kids think it’s amazing that I even know what texting is!). But I may finally be catching up with the 21st century.

Thanks to my Gulf Shores & Orange Beach obsession (which has me constantly scouring the internet for vacation deals, upcoming events, etc.) I came across a new mobile app. (No, I didn’t know what an “app” was at first, and yes my kids did fill me in.) This vacation guide app apparently provides accommodation listings, information on restaurants and events, forecasts the weather in the area, and lets you check into Facebook Places—which is great because I see everyone else doing this on Facebook and have never been able to do it myself.

You can download it from the iTunes and Android Marketplace websites.

So I’ve decided that I must upgrade my phone and get into this “app” craze, and I must get this Gulf Shores & Orange Beach app—imagine the vacation-planning possibilities!
