Travel Gear I Recommend

Thick plastic bags with beautiful design. I like that the bag could stay in the box shape, which make it is easier to contain folded clothes. You might find similar quality 6 organizer bags under $30, but I’m ok to pay a bit more with their design both in term of artistic and functional. Recommended.

I know and trust the brand as this filter saves lives daily in 3rd world countries. I am an army veteran and I believe everyone should have at least one of these *Per Person* in their household for unexpected events seeing that we need water to survive and in todays world with constant fracking, a clean drinking water guarantee never exists.
Forget the water boiling when water advisories are on....Just use one of these. Always try to prepare for the unexpected, Your very life may very well depend on it someday.

The Osprey Porter is THE BEST carry-on luggage/backpack you will ever buy. It holds a ton of clothes, accessories and is extremely well buit. As well, Osprey guarantees its product with a warranty to replace or fix any issues with the bag. This bag is great for anyone as it has shoulder suspension straps to keep the bag close to your shoulders and back for comfort. My only advice is to get a rain cover for it (not included) and if needed a shoulder strap (not included) if you want to carry like a gym bag.

The EverSnug travel blanket is a decent size for one person only of average height and built. It is extremely lightweight and super soft and dries quickly when washed. It is easy to fold as the case is quite generous for the item. In addition to an elastic strap to the rear of the outer case, that slots easily over the extended handle of hand luggage, there is also a large clip that can be fastened to the handle where there is no extendable handle. The only exception is the description of this product as a ‘travel blanket AND pillow’ when it can only be used as one or the other, but not both simultaneously. As a pillow it is comfortable. I had no problems going through security with it at Gatwick Airport for a long haul flight.

I am a big guy with a big noggin! Recently purchased for a 14 hour flight to the Philippines and I am very happy to say that it was a lifesaver! I was able to get several hours of sleep in total. I think I look kind of Goofy wearing it, especially with my face all mushed up as I lean into it but that is nothing compared to the discomfort of a crappy air inflatable, I just draped the blanket over my head LOL.

Most plug adapters are one piece units with fiddly buttons that extend or retract the various plugs. They all seem pretty flimsy and don’t seem very safe. They also mostly flop around in a wall socket and are only really usable in an extension cord. Because this one has no moving parts it is safer and makes a more secure connection. In addition, you can take only the ones that you need and leave the others behind. While there are some that have individual plugs, they don’t fit together so nicely.

I needed a fast charger with more charging ports for all my gadgets. Being out a lot, this charger comes in really handy. The unit is super light weight. The quality of superb. It came with 2 wires. There is a light indicator to show how much battery is left. There is also an indicator to show quick charge is activated. It took me 2 1/2 hours to charge the power bank fully. The unit isn’t hot at all when charging 2 things at the same time. I definitely recommend getting a power bank with at least 2 charging ports. A friend liked it so much, she bought one too. A+++

What I disliked was it was a bit bigger than expected, then I quit whining and completely enjoyed the capabilities of this camera. The clarity and options are absolutely amazing. I have purchased no less than 12 cameras since 1976, including Canon, Nikon, Minolta, and various others. This is the most practical for travel and everyday use. I had a Canon body with many lenses, filters, flash and various other goodies to achieve good photos. This PowerShot is all I take now and am more than satisfied when I develop my family or travel photos

I sent one to my daughter for Christmas. She loves it, finds it well-made, knows if she can ever travel after COVID that it will be practical and useful. She appreciated the inscription on the front. Well-done.

"Excellent quality and speed"
