The Sunday Round-Up | March 28, 2021


Happy Sunday! First up, I want to apologize for any confusion from last Sunday's newsletter. I almost always highlight in yellow the stories I put in the subject line but of course, I forgot to do this last week and many of you couldn't find this story: The Map App Every Traveler Needs to Download. I quickly realized my mistake when I received tons of emails and comments from all of you, including one from the creator of the app, who kindly answered everyone's questions. So for those of you who missed this great app recommendation last week or who had questions about it, here's the story. 

Now, on to the Sunday Round-Up (scroll down to see what’s included), which is chock full of travel tips and travel news, as well as the week’s stories - including an even easier way to take a full-page screen shot and how to get a Krispy Kreme doughnut for free every day of 2021. Find those stories and all the rest below:
