OK, you probably already knew this, but kids have discovered apps.
My 11-year-old daughter, Daniela, routinely discusses the apps she has on her Nintendo DSi.
And, from his iPod Touch, my 13-year-old son, Yuri, is now sending me e-mails through his Travelocity iPhone app, hounding me to take him on another Disney Cruise. We sailed on the Disney Wonder last year, and my kids officially have the cruise bug.
Not norovirus. Nope -- they want to cruise.
So, I got this e-mail the other day.
"Yuri thinks you'll love this [Western Caribbean cruise on Disney Magic] with Disney Cruise Line. Take a minute to go over the itinerary below--and if you're ready to book,call a Travelocity Cruise Specialist at 877-815-5446. Or you can reserve this sailing at any time on our comprehensive website."
With the latest enhancements to the Travelocity iPhone app, you can call to book or book hotels online; view local dining and transportation options, and apparently harass your cash-strapped father to take you on another cruise.
Hey, these apps and mobile stuff are getting serious.
