Gromit Tip # 5,687: Walkie Talkies are great for groups

I know I've mentioned this before but a little set of walkie talkies can be a great thing to bring if you're traveling with a larger group or in multiple vehicles.
It allows you to communicate instantaneously between vehicles, which can be handy if the lead car encounters a heard of goats in the road ahead or comes to a sudden arborial stop (West Wing fans will get this joke) just around a corner.
They have proven to be an invaluable asset over the years and saved us from having to make multiple trips for things. They are also good if you want to split up while shopping.
They are also handy if you want to play tour guide and tell newbies what they are seeing if they are in a separate vehicle.
Ours are rechargable and we just bring the charging base along and recharge them at night.
We also kepe the volume down when we are in public places, because they do have that potential to be annoying if you aren't careful. But respectful use of these little gems can go a long way.
They certainly aren't a necessity but they are a "nice to have" and you don't have to worry about any pesky roaming charges.
