BEFORE YOU GO

LUGGAGE

BAGAIL
​4 Set/5 Set/6 Set Compression Packing Cubes: Expandable Packing Organizers

Compression cubes are a complete gamechanger for packing. You roll your clothes and zip them in and then close the additional zipper and the air is removed so the cube is compressed. We like BAGAIL because they have so many different colors. We also mix them so we have one person's clothes in one color cube to make it easier to find in the suitcase. We have several different sets and LOVE them!

DOWNY
Bundle of Wrinkle Releaser, 3oz Travel Size, Light Fresh Scent (2 Pack-Packaging May Vary)

The only concern with using compression cubes comes when you remove your clothes.  Sometimes they are wrinkled!  Fortunately, there is a way to restore them to perfection easily and efficiently.  Some good friends put us on to these little gems.  The directions are on the bottle.  Follow them and watch your clothes become wrinkle-free and ready to wear in no time!  No hassle, no problems!  Just pure Awesome!

AT THE AIRPORT

FIGESTIN
​Duffle Bag

​This duffle bag works great!  Especially for carrying a lot of things through the airport.  It has a sleeve that fits perfectly over the handle of my larger luggage.  Once I get onto the plane, I slide it easily into the overhead bin.  So nice!

ZOPPEN
​Mulit-purpose Rfid Blocking Passport Holder Travel Wallet (Ver.4)

​I have struggled to find something that works easily to slip my passport and boarding pass in and out.  This little wallet does the trick.  AND it has room for other things too so I don't have to use an over shoulder bag while I'm in the airport.  Quick and easy!

KEEP IT WORKING!

POWER BANKS

iWALK
​4500mAh Small Portable Charger USB C Battery Pack, Portable Phone Charger for Android

This little charger is so cool!  For a LONG time we used the larger chargers that you had to hold with your phone.  This little beauty clips neatly into the bottom of your phone to recharge.  You can use your phone normally.  So great for travel and at home use!

iWALK
​Small Portable Charger 4500mAh Ultra-Compact Power Bank Cute Battery Pack for iPhone

​This is the iPhone version!  Just as convenient.  Just as awesome!

ADAPTERS

BESTEK
Universal Travel Adapter 220V to 110V Voltage Converter

I can't say enough good things about this one!  The main plug is EU.  It comes with adapter plugs for the UK/AU/US.  All plugs on the adapter are US plugs AND it comes with four charging ports.  It has a fan that runs while being used that keeps it cool.  We use it every night!

TESSAN
US to UK Plug Adapter, Type G Travel Converter

The TESSAN is so cool!  It works very much like the BESTEK above except it is a plug itself!  All plugs are US and it has 3 USB ports and 1 USB C port.  It works great and is easy to store!

CHARGING EQUIPMENT

BAGSMART
Electronics Organizer Travel Case

​For so long I was on a quest to find the very best electronics organizer!  I tried several but each one was missing something.  And then, one day, my BAGSMART arrived.  I LOVE THIS THING!  You can see in the photo that there is a place for everything!  Even SD cards!  Yes, really!  I can find everything I need quickly and easily all in one place.  If you are like me and you have lots of electronics with lots of small parts, this BAGSMART will become your favorite friend!

ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT

FREETOO
​Bag with Adjustable Strap

This bag has been another real game changer for me.  How's that, you say?  Well, I don't use it when I'm out and about.  I use it on the plane to store my iPad, Kindle, earphones and pods, phone, and glasses!  It has pockets that are perfectly designed for each of the above.  I fiddle a lot with my electronics during flights and this makes it easy to get in and out.  So how do I use it?  I pull the tray table down, I unclip the strap and wrap it around the table so that the buckle is on the table.  I close the table back up and the bag is facing me.  I can now fiddle to my heart's content!  And when it's time to eat, I just lower the table and leave the buckle closed.
PS you can use it off flight as well. ;)

MUELLER
Ice Bag, 9"

This little guy has saved my life many times!  Do you ever have body parts that swell during flights?  Me too.  This guy takes care of that.  Just ask your flight attendant to fill it with ice and your set.  It is light and secure: NO LEAKING!  And I arrive feeling awesome and able to easily walk off the plane!

KISEER
1 Box (50 Sheets) Mini Portable Soap Paper Sheets
​Disposable Hand Washing Bath Scented Paper Soap

These guys are great for keeping your hands clean on and off the plane.  Yes, you could get some hand sanitizer but sometimes it's nice to be able to actually feel like your hands are clean and not gooey!  Smells nice too! ;)

BCOZZY
Neck Pillow for Travel

I'll be honest.  A neck pillow is not something that I usually use.  I find them awkward and difficult to carry off-flight.  However, this guy is worth the hassle.  It is so comfortable and I sleep so well with it on.

DESTINATION ESSENTIALS

Travelon
Anti-Theft Active Small Crossbody

I always carry, what my wife calls a "man purse" when I'm walking about during travel.  This bag works nicely for that.  It is RFID protected, has slots for a couple of cards, a place for my passport and a hidden pocket inside.  The bag is slash resistant.  So are the straps.  The only downside is that I like to have all of my zipper stoppers going the same direction so that everything is in front of me AND I can keep my hand and eyes on them.  This bag doesn't have that.  BUT, what it does have are locks on the zipper stoppers so that the one that I can't see is at least annoying to mess with.  I keep the main pocket stopper in front of me with my hand on it.  The bag is light and large enough to hold a book, small umbrella, etc.

Lanzom
Women Wide Brim Straw Panama Sun Hat UPF50+

We bought this one for my wife and she loves it!  It is so hard for her to find a hat that doesn't make her look silly.  This one is fashionable and yet practical AND it has extra protection from the sun!  Whether you are extra pale like her, or you just don't want sun in your eyes, AND you want to look cool, this is your hat!

Haven Toothbrush Cover
Fits Electronic and Manual Toothbrushes

​Let's be honest.  You need to have a toothbrush with you on a trip.  However, it can be one of the grossest things.  Even if you have it in a full cover, the cover gets nasty too.  These little guys will take care of that problem AND they are easy to clean!  So much better!

Nefeeko
​Collapsible Water Bottle with Carabiner

​This bottle rocks!  I use it in the airport and while I'm out and about.  Being able to change the size makes it easy to transport and it has a carabiner so that I can clip it to my pants.  I can slip it into my jacket pocket too!
