Griffin Technology

Earlier this year we registered to exhibit at CES. It’s going to be great to be back in Vegas for the nation’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, January 7 – 10.

The one thing is that the flight from Nashville, TN to Las Vegas, NV is about three long hours. I don’t know about you, but being crammed in a plane for three hours with weak coffee and no leg room doesn’t sound like much fun. So we came up with an alternative plan, and we’re calling it CES BOUND.

We buy a bus, fix it up and do a road trip to Vegas! Why be crammed in a plane for three hours, when we can be crammed in a bus for 120 hours (give or take)? Surely we’ll find better coffee on the road than at 30,000 feet in the air, right? Besides, how can we ask a pilot to land in several cities to meet with you?

What could possibly go wrong for five Griffin peeps traveling in a 37 year old VW Westfalia bus across 2,476 miles?

Have you ever done a long road trip? Where to? Do you have any tips?

Summer is in full swing. With the price of airfare going up, many people are taking it to the streets. Road trips have long been a fabric of our youth. There’s nothing quite like jumping in a car with a few friends and hitting the road.

We’ve teamed up with the good people at Jones Soda to promote a fun road trip giveaway called Road Trip Jones.

We’re randomly selecting 10 winners of an iTrip AutoPilot to roadtrippers each week ’til the end of August. Jones Soda is also selecting some of the best photos to be included on bottles of their awesome soda available from coast-to-coast! One grand prize winner will also win a $500 GriffinTechnology.com shopping spree!

For full details on how to enter visit Road Trip Jones.

I love watching the countless reviews of our products on YouTube and other video hosting sites. I wish I had the time to comment on each one. It’s nice to see people actually unboxing our products and testing them in real time, but it’s even better when we can see it being used.

I was really entertained by Sukhjit’s road trip video with her friend Rachael Joy. They were in the process of traveling from D.C. to Austin, Texas for SXSW. That’s a really long car ride! Google Maps has the whole trip clocked at about 1,526 miles. That’s about 23 hours!

In an effort to keep their sanity on the road, Sukhjit and Rachael made their own iTrip review. Check out the video, and you can read her blog to see the whole post. Enjoy it.
