One of the best tech innovations I've used is Tivo. For a busy person and family, it not only makes it easy to catch regular TV shows when you want them but it's also a great way to find shows you never knew existed.
A recent favorite find is the PBS show "Globe Trekker". (BTW - the episodes featuring Ian Wright are fantastic!) I can never figure out when this airs. Fortunately, Tivo can. And, a recent episode I watched last night was fantastic. It featured islands of the Indian Ocean and as you might guess, it had me scrambling for my laptop and Google too look for charter options in the region.
Mauritius looks amazing. The water, the wind, great people and fantastic culture. I want to go now! For charter enthusiasts, there are also some options. While not for the weak of wallet, there are a number of companies that exist offering bareboat and crewed sailing charters. Here are just a few to check out:
(and... be sure to check out Globe Trekker when you have a chance. You can find it on PBS in the U.S. or you can also buy the DVDs here.)
