Must Have's for Every Trip

These things are tried and true. You can’t go wrong with these options and we stand behind each one. 

  • Osprey Daypack – Mandy has used Osprey since her first backpacking trip and the day pack continues to travel with us on each trip.
  • Travel Cubes – Because they are great.
  • Extra Plugs (Cruise Approved!) – We enjoy cruising but you cannot bring surge protectors on board so this is a great solution.
  • Cable Organizer – A great spot for all those pesky cables
  • Anker Portable Charger – This is our go-to and lasts multiple days.
  • Stainless Steel Water Bottle – This bad boy keeps water cold, all day long. 
  • Universal Phone Mount for Airplane – Most new planes don’t have screens but holding your phone is uncomfortable to watch shows or movies. This adapter works great!
  • Plug Adapter – For all those awesome overseas trips!
  • Mini Razor – We love this little razor and its container.
