Travel Accessories 2

77. Multi-tools and pocketknives have always been useful and advisable.

In a climate of the threat of terrorism however, it is definitely preferable not to carry it in your backpack or cabin-luggage. It needs to be packed in your checked luggage if you choose to take them at all.

Alternatively, if you are flying and still think you might have a need for one – ask the concierge where you can buy one cheaply for camping, trekking, or other adventure travel.

78. Travel-custom accessories like a collapsible cup are worth a lot.

For those times and every moment when you need some water from a fountain, faucet or hose to re-hydrate! This is an inexpensive item to invest in that will not break the budget one bit and save you money in the process and is light to pack.

This is a must-have for any would-be traveler – especially those traveling with young kids.

79. Back-up plans for ‘energy-sources’ for your technology devices.

It was suggested earlier that you take rechargeable batteries and a charge kit with you. It could also be prudent perhaps, to carry a spare set of batteries for your camera, radio, camcorder and other multi-media devices.

Batteries are not always available overseas and often cost considerably more.

80. Another money-saver is a travel accessory often overlooked: a lightweight plastic flask

can also be filled with water, fruit juice, or whatever you prefer is a good budgeting trick. Carry it in your shoulder bag and again resist the urge to splurge!

Even if it is just on a coffee, bottled beverage or alcoholic beverage to quench your thirst!

81. An inexpensive, fold-up raincoat or poncho can be a life and money-saver.

Always have either that or the collapsible umbrella mentioned earlier with you. Being prepared for the occasional downpour is better than being soaked and getting sick in the process.

82. A staple essential is tissue and toilet paper in your shoulder bag.

Some suggest toilet seat covers as well. Hygiene will go long way to protect you from disease and illness. Something you definitely do not need while on vacation is getting sick or infected!

Hand sanitizer and wipes are other small travel essential you can consider for your pockets or travel bag when you are out and about your dream destination, taking in the sights.
