Osprey Packs Sojourn Wheeled Luggage, Flash Black, 80 L/28″

This is a piece of luggage that you can’t go wrong with. The 28″ Osprey Sojourn is a piece of luggage that I have been using for about 4 years. I purchased this item before Rosita and I went to Italy in 2015. I used the bag on that trip, a 2 week trip to Germany, Switzerland and Italy in 2017 and a 2 week trip to Belgium and The Netherlands and around 20 domestic trips of from 1 to 5 days each year. The bag still looks like new. It is the only bag I have used during this time. My day job requires me to travel in my sales territory and this requires 50 to 60 nights out a year plus several personal trips a year. The garment has one large compartment to put all of my clothes. It has 1 long pocket along each side of the back to separate smaller items. It has a small compartment at the top to put shoes or dirty socks and underwear. The wheels on the bag roll very quietly and smoothly. There is a large zippered compartment where the backpack straps go. With the straps I keep a medium to large jacket. You can remove the backpack straps to store more in this compartment. This is a bag that I have come to rely on and I plan to use it for several more years

High Sierra 57020-1041 AT7 Wheeled Duffel with Backpack Straps, Black, 32-Inch

The Samsonite High Sierra Rolling Backpack is Rosita’s bag of choice. It is carry on size with 1 outer and 3 inner compartments and has rolling wheels and backpack straps. She purchased this about the same time that I bought the Osprey. I did not think that Rosita would be able to pack for our 2 week trips in this size bag. She however has surprised me and has used only this bag for our 3 latest trips to Europe.

Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR Kit with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 is STM Lens (US Model, Black)

I recently purchased the Canon 80D with 18-135mm stabilized lens. If you click on the link above it will give you different configurations in case you want different or no lenses. I have an older Canon Rebel camera and was going to get the body only, but the older lenses aren’t stabilized. I recently took it on a long weekend to Denver Colorado and another weekend trip to Mobile AL. I took it on a ride through the Rocky Mountain Nation Park and the camera is amazing. I purchased a 64 GB SD card to make sure I have room for videos. It has a wifi connection and I even figured out how to download pictures wirelessly to my phone. On my last trip with my old Canon I had to wait till I returned home to connect the camera to my home computer with a cord. Now when I go to edit photos or insert them in articles, the photos are already on my computer.

Bosca Men’s Executive Wallet in Old Leather – RFID

This is a wallet I purchased about a year ago. This is more than I usually pay for a wallet but I decided to give myself a Prime Day Present! The wallet I have used for the past 3 years is made of cloth and is starting to show a lot of wear. This wallet is made similar to the one I have but it will be a major upgrade in material. I wanted an RFID blocking wallet and this one has that. I recently had my credit card information stolen and I want to do all I can to protect myself.

SPSHENG Valet Tray Jewelry Organizer,PU Leather Watch Box Coin Change Key Tray for Storage Coffee

I had a similar coin tray that I picked up while I was in Florence Italy. I bought it from one of the many street vendors in that city. I lost that one and then purchased this one. It has really come in handy and I use it mostly when I travel. It is a great place to put my keys, room card, wallet and coins. Usually you have something more permanent that you use at home. This one unsnaps so that it will lay flat in a suitcase and not take up any room. If you get a different one and want to use it for travel make sure you get one that will snap together. Some on Amazon will be riveted together and not come apart. The ones with snaps will make it much easier to pack it in your luggage

American Weigh Scales AMW-LS-110 Digital Luggage Scale 110 by 0.2 LB

I have a travel scale that is very similar to this one. With the weight limits now on checked luggage I feel it is a necessity. I purchased one because when we travel, we always buy souvenirs, things we see we have to have and gifts for the grandkids. Now we no longer have to hold our breath at the airport when returning home, hoping that we didn’t go over the weight limit. This scale is very small and will fit in a small pocket of your luggage. Just remember to turn it off when you finish, because I didn’t and I will have to replace the battery before our next trip

Vetelli Hanging Toiletry Bag for Men – Dopp Kit/Travel Accessories Bag/Great Gift

This is an item That Rosita got for me about a year ago. It works great for me. My electric razor does not fit in the pockets but it rolls up quite nicely when I close up the bag. You can hang it up in your hotel room or just roll it out on the counter, like I do most of the time. This one looks good and I’m sure you will love it when you travel.

WAYFARER SUPPLY Hanging Toiletry Bag: Pack-it-flat Travel Kit, w Jewelry Organizer, Grey

Rosita is very happy with this toiletry bag. She loves that it can be hung up or it can sit on a counter top. The large middle section also has 4 smaller pockets that are perfect for tubes and flat shaped bottles. The larger section holds bottles of shampoo/conditioner, face cream, body lotion, deodorant and mouth wash in upright position. The longer mesh pocket in front of this one holds a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss. The fold down cover has 2 zippered mesh pockets that hold smaller items such as a razor, eyelash curler, nail clippers, lip stick, mascara, small eye shadow container, bandaides, make up remover pads and eyeglass cleaner wipes. The back zip down compartment can hold necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and watches, but not pieces that are very large. Rosita has learned to travel lightly, and this bag is perfect for her.

Travelon Anti-theft Signature 3 Compartment Cross Body Bag, Smoke

Rosita likes the added feeling of security the antitheft features of slash resistant fabric and strap and 2 locking zippered compartments add to this cross body purse. And she says the name is misleading as it actually has 4 zippered compartments. The main locking center one where she stores her larger items such as a brush, wallet, phone, portable phone charger, earbuds, and even a bottle of water. This center section also has a small flashlight, RFID pockets and a small zippered pocket. She can even place small items that she purchases in this section. The top, front locking pocket is perfect for flat travel notebook, compact, travel disposable size moist wipes and sanitizing wipes. The front shorter contoured pocket is nice for quick access of items such as travel size hand sanitizer, tissues, eye glass case and cleaner, sun screen and coin purse (for those bathrooms that charge for use). Rosita uses the back zippered outside pocket for easy access to her iPad. She says this bag wears very comfortably as a cross body purse. And she is very pleased with this smoke/plum color choice.

Audio-Technica ATH-ANC23 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones

Rosita and I both use these headphones for the long Atlantic flights. Some type of noise canceling type ear buds or headphones are a great help for these long flights. I had used over the ear headphones for years for flying. While the over the ear do provide a slightly better sound quality and ability to cancel airplane noise the trade off in space makes up for the difference in quality. We try to travel as light as possible because we do a lot of train travel while we are in Europe.

Fire TV Recast – $100 Off Early Prime Day Deals

This deal will last until July 13 at 5:00 PM Pacific Coast Time

I haven’t yet but I have been thinking about cutting the cord. The biggest hurdle is convincing Rosita to get rid of cable. This looks like a product that could help you do that. And with a great discount price to try

All-new Echo Dot Kids

This promotion will run through March 24, 2020 at 05:00 PM PDT

We don’t have kids at home anymore and Alexa was not around when they were little and lived here, but this looks like a device that would work great in your kids room.

Kindle Unlimited Membership Plans

This Kindle promotion will run through July 31, 2019.

Register now for the fist 3 months free. If you like to read this is a great deal to try the Kindle. I use the Kindle app on my iPad and it works great. To me it is so much easier to read on an iPad rather than a real book. Rosita on the other hand will keep the paper business going. She refuses to read a book on an electronic device.

If you know someone who drives a lot or would rather listen to a book than read. Maybe someone getting older and like me our eyesight isn’t as good as it once was. This will make a great gift for a loved one. I have used Audible as I drive a lot and can keep up on my reading.
