Travel Essentials
The Spector Cube Set trio is part of Eagle Creek’s Pack-It System. They are ultra-light weight and stain and water resistant. I store my electronic plugs and cords in the smallest, toiletries in the intermediate and a pair of shoes in the largest.
Head to Toe Clothing Suggestions
Headwear – I’m a big fan of Tilley’s. The Outback Hat and Tilley Cap were two essential items for the weather conditions encountered on a recent trip toAlaska. Whether it was rainy or cold, I was completely comfortable. Lifetime warranties come with each hat, plus they look great.
Clothing – I’m a big fan of quick-dry, lightweight clothing for travel. Royal Robbins products made a trip with me to Lawrence, KS last
Footwear – On a visit to theGrand Canyon that included light hiking, my choice was Teva’s Raith, paired with hiking socks by Teko. They were a perfect combination for the conditions. Teva, of course, is best known for their sandals, but their product line is extensive.
Interesting & Unusual Gifts
The gift that keeps giving is the Entertainment Book. For the 2013 edition, there are lots of new promotions, including monthly and weekly specials and out of town options.
My favorite new find is The Original Umbrella Stand. It eliminates the challenges of securing your umbrella
For each of the websites, look for discounts, specials and clearance items. All of these suppliers have excellent customer service staff at toll-free numbers. Don’t be shy about calling them if you have any questions.
