Frequent Flyers ... Desireable Travel Accessories

 

I have often owned more suitcases than clothes to fit into them.  I have spent more Friday nights in an airport lounge or a taxi line than I have spent in exclusive bars or restaurants.  I have found vibrant bars within airports more desireable than the airport club lounge.  I have met fabulous, exciting, world changing people and I have been imposed on by rude and arrogant people prepared to walk over anyone in the pursuit of their upgrade.  I have learnt from experience that it is important to have a good travel agent if for no other reason than to have someone to yell at if my travel plans fall apart.

This lens is about travel accessories that I have purchased in order to make my life easier during travel or things I have added to my travel wishlist.  I have also included some links and tips to help you with your packing and other travel needs. In anycase I hope the suggestions will make your travel experience a lot easier and a little more glamorous.

This is a very useful Lens. I know a lot of people that have been traveling for quite some time and what they mostly complain about is stuff that they needed but have to leave it at home because it occupies a lot of space in their bag.

I can't wait to tell them about your Lens. 5 stars for your Great Lens.

Nice lens. I also find in-flight magazines to be excellent fodder for Squidoo lenses (like I need more ideas!)
