Travel goodies are just plain fun. I have become obsessed with anything that can make travel easier, lighter weight, or happier. I've gone through a lot of trial and error to find useful items, and I'd love to share my "finds" with you here!
My gear is not always the least expensive. I try to balance cost with quality. It's all about value and I (usually) want my stuff to last!

This thing is pretty ingenious. It folds and flaps to stand up on your tray table, fold over the top of the seat in front of you, and stores thin and flat. Someone reinvented the, um, flap? Give it a try!

Wow - these are great over-ear headphones! You might think that Bose Quiet Comfort are? Yes, they are awesome, but these are incredible. 30 hour battery life. The newer model is even better, but these are outstanding.

Wow - the best over-ear headphones! You might think that Bose Quiet Comfort are? Yes, they are awesome, but these are incredible. You can see a crying baby in the same row and not hear them. 30 hour battery life, and this new model has special technology to take care of ear pressure.

OMG if you don't already have one of these, you need one for all your flights. You can use your earbuds, AirPods, or wireless headphone with airline movies and music! Just plug it in to the system and it transmits the audio to your device. You can even use it at home. Makes a great travel gift.
