Life Saver
I am a 53 year young woman that decided to go to London and Paris for 2 weeks on my on. So I was planning a trip I had planned on taking my Mac Book Pro. But as the day of the trip got closer I was getting nervous about lugging my laptop around. So last minute I picked up a IPad Mini 3 Wifi. Thank goodness because this was my life saver. I was traveling by myself so did not have that companion to help navigate. What became my companion was my IPad mini. As I navigated around London I was getting easily lost. Trying to read the maps or tube station on my iphone was not working. So I would find a Starbucks with wifi pop in and open up my IPad figure out where I was at and figure out where I had to go. This is how it went for the next two weeks. I never let my IPad out of my site. I also used Yelp to find restaurants while out running around. The IPad Mini 3's battery lasted forever. Was very reliable and easy to navigate. I even used it to take photos to kind of share the space on my Iphone and camera. I could not have had the trip I had which by the way was amazing without the IPad Mini 3!
