A true techie is firmly attached to her PDA, music player, digital camera, and other can't-live-without gadgets at all times -- rain or shine, land or sea. Sure, it might be the perfect day to hit the beach, but are those afternoon hours of relaxing on the sand really worth the withdrawal symptoms you suffer from having to leave your electronics behind? Fret not, tech-fiends. The summer months, in cahoots with the ever-evolving gadget industry, bring forth a slew of water-safe, portable versions of your plug-ins so you can stay connected even while in the pool. Chat it up while you float on your blow-up raft with a waterproof bluetooth headset, take underwater video with a Sanyo digital camcorder, and lug all your e-loot in a solar charging tote! Take a look at the slideshow and see how your beach days can get a major upgrade.

Breathtaking seascapes and beaches, eccentric cultures, and the planet's biggest party destination? What more could you ask for! Summer in Ibiza really means season of soiree, as the beginning of June marks the kickoff for the largest and craziest nightclubs in the world. There's no excuse for skipping the nightlife here, with beach bars for daytime playtime, hot spots to sip and watch the sunset, raging parties for nighttime nonsense, and after party bars that extend the hours of the semi-regulated closing time of 6am. If you're one who's gotta have their party and their getaway, The Insotel Fenicia Prestige is just the place to get the luxury time you need in between flitting about the boundless social scene. This first class resort features its own top-notch bars and restaurants, spectacular views and services, and a spa to spoil you senseless, all making for a secluded kind of fun for even the most zealous of party people to recuperate. With suites galore, who could say no to amenity lists featuring luxuries like "terrace" and "hydromassage shower" epitomized by the surroundings of this immensely beautiful island? The hotel's location says it all, close enough to the hot spots, yet away enough to tour Ibiza's natural beauty. With exhausting hidden beaches and coves to explore via Vespa, even the party-pooper will flip over the incredible Balearic island adventure in store within the outskirts of the resort. Whether it be club or cove hopping, this quickly-navigable, small but bustling hotspot of an island will be the intoxicating getaway you've been craving!
