With airports gouging you for every little thing, you want to keep your bags as small and light as possible, packing no more then you have to for any trip. When you can, keep it to a carry on and avoid those nasty baggage fees. You are allowed one small bag, like a briefcase or purse, as well as your carry on bag, and you can make every inch count!
The first thing you are going to want to pack- and it doesn’t even count toward your “luggage allotment”! is a head and neck pillow for the flight. Those seats are awful, and there is no comfortable way to sit that doesn’t cramp up your neck (not to mention sleep even halfway decently). The new Comfy Commuter Travel Pillow allows you to get some rest, and be as comfortable as possible in those seats. The plush material cradles your neck to help the head stay upright and in a position that won’t lead to cramping. It is one of the more comfortable pillows I have used, and we travel often. It has a chin strap to keep it in place as well, so you won’t be picking it up off the floor. You can pick one up in several colors at http://www.comfycommuter.com/ for $40.
Going to be doing a lot of walking? Check out Waldläufer. Shoes for every journey- no matter where life takes you. A new take on the “comfort shoe”, they are orthotic friendly and offer great support. These shoes are also designed specifically for a single width, making them shoes that won’t hurt your feet after long days. They are stylish as well- no giant, clunky soles or orthodic-looking designs. The Toni in black and grey suede is both classic and retro- it adds some “kick” to any outfit, and they really are comfortable. Functional, too- the first day I wore them, I had to jump a fence due to my son being good at being 8. Not your normal day at the office, but they performed well. No matter what your day throws your way, Waldläufer will keep your feet comfortable and you looking good. Check out what they have for fall at http://waldlaufer.com
Travel can be hard on your gear, so you want to make sure to grab items that can stand up to its rigors. Check out the Eagle Creek Market Handbag. We all need a good bag (when is the last time you saw a woman sans purse?) and for those on the go, you need one that is durable, lightweight, and has places to put all your important stuff. The market handbag has tons of pockets and lanyards for your keys, cell phone, pens, business cards (whatever you need to have at hand) and even holders for bottles of water or sippy cups. It’s outside is water resistant, which is always a good thing. You can wear it cross body or over the shoulder, whatever works for you. It even has a lifetime warranty. It’s comfortable to wear, which is also key. You can get one at http://shop.eaglecreek.com/market-handbag/d/1486_c_411 for $80
While you are at Eagle Creek, check out the Specter 7 Day Pill Organizer. Many of us have prescriptions and/or vitamins that we take daily, and this is perfect for taking them along. It is lightweight and easy to clean, with seven clear, zippered pockets that show what is in each compartment. Each pouch can be numbered for the day of the week, or with daytime and nighttime medications.You can lock the zipper on the main compartment if you choose to, and has a zipper pocked that can keep any prescription information that is needed, as well as a pen slot. It comes in three colors at http://shop.eaglecreek.com/specter-7-day-pill-organizer-/d/1471 for $25.
