Wireless Headphones

Cos loves his Bose wireless noise canceling headphones because they do a great job of eliminating noise.  They are not inexpensive, but if you plan on flying a lot, they are worth every dollar they will cost you. 

Air Link Adapters

Do you like to use wireless headphones.  If so, you will need one of these to enjoy the entertainment system on an airplane.

Luggage Tags

Okay, you probably have some old luggage tags.  These from Amazon Travel Gear are really sharp, and we love them.  You will too.  By the way, it is recommended that you don’t write your actual physical address on your tag.  People may read them and decide you are away and target your home for a break-in.

Hanging Shower Organizer Caddy

Showers on cruise ships are notoriously short on storage. This quick drying mesh shower caddy organizer works well with deep pockets that hold various items.  Plus, buy the magnetic hooks above and you can use them with this caddy!

Backpacks

When traveling we recommend carrying a backpack. It will eliminate the need for an extra suitcase.  Amazon has a lot of choices for quality backpacks.  This is our favorite, but there are many to choose from. For more information, please see our packing recommendations post or our ultimate packing lists post.

Hiking Gear

Having the right hiking gear is critical to being safe and having a healthy hike.  Whether in the woods, or just walking down the road, make sure you have the right equipment.  Amazon is a great place to shop for the equipment.  If you want to learn more about hiking in general, please see our Hiking Post.

Electric Plug Adapters

If you are traveling outside for the United States for the first time, you may be surprised to learn that none of your electric devices (cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) will power-up unless you have the necessary electric plug adapter for that country.  Here are two devices that we have and we use when we travel. We recommend getting one that will handle multiple devices and multiple countries.

Travel Weight Scale

Nothing is worse than finding out when you get to the airport that your luggage is overweight.  You will either be asked to pay a lot more money to check the bag, or you will embarrass the people you are traveling with when you are taking your underwear out of your luggage in front of all the people waiting in line.  Actually, not only will you embarrass your friends or family, but you will annoy everyone who is waiting in the line.  This Amazon travel gear product is well worth the cost. 

Trickle Battery Charger

This maybe the last thing you think you need.  However, if you travel for long periods of time, like we do, then if is a life saver to make sure your car starts when you get home.  

Travel Resource Books Travel

Before any trip to a new location, Cos and Robin try to better understand the culture and the people where they are traveling.  Reading books like these have helped them greatly in places like Alaska, Hawaii, Rome and Europe in general.  Also, documenting your travel is a great way to remember the great times that you had.  Amazon travel gear also has books to help you do that.
