This past weekend I headed to Chicago to join several other bloggers help kick-off the Verizon Midwest Savvy Savers program.
Since Chicago is not that far from home, my husband and I decided to take the opportunity to enjoy a road trip together instead of flying.
Once there we checked into the very trendy and very cool Hard Rock Hotel. Waiting for me was this nice Verizon goodie bag!
Well, “goodie” is definitely an understatement! As part of the Verizon Midwest Savvy Savers program not only do I get to share Verizon Deals with my readers and followers, but I will be participating in a couple of product reviews as well. Inside the bag, along with a Verizon travel mug, was my first Verizon product to review- the Motorola Droid Xyboard!
After spending time with other Midwest Savvy Savers members and learning all about the Xyboard from a Motorola expert, I’m feeling totally pumped! I’m ready to put this baby to the test, and to share all of my honest opinions along the way.
So far I can tell you that using the map app to find our way around the city of Chicago, was a big success!
Don’t forget you can follow my daily updates on Twitter (#VZWSS) and Facebook, as I get to know the Xyboard and how it fits into my everyday life!

Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Wireless Midwest Savvy Savers program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product. I was also compensated for my travel and provided with two nights of lodging while attending the kick off event in Chicago.
