      Go for it! You can probably get a pink backpack with gems on it- hehe 😉

    I could NEVER travel without an iPod touch…(http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM2797455502P?prdNo=13&blockNo=13&blockType=L13). Can’t possibly survive without internet!

      Thanks for your entry, Aaron! I’m an iPhone addict myself. Although we didn’t bring any phones or laptops on our RTW trip. That would have made it so much easier 😉

    I have a Coleman mini compass keychain. It’s great when you’re in a foreign country, you have your guide book, and have no idea if you are walking the correct direction. It’s small, portable, and since it’s on a keychain you can easily secure it to your backpack.

      That’s a good one! A compass would come in handy for camping too.

    Duct Tape is a big one- and if we are trying by car, an extra phone battery charger… just in case something happens to one of them!!

    I cannot survive without my flask of Ole Grandad whiskey. I like to travel with family. He is kind of ornery sometimes, but good company.

    I don’t leave home without my trusty flip flops (I keep a pair in my luggage permanently) and Kindle 🙂

    While my favorite thing for traveling is a back pack, I think I am really going to invest some money in a good first aid kit with two young kids! 🙂

    Facial wipes from Duane Reade, or Korres.
    Facial mist (toner) from Caudalie; you gotta keep your face hydrated after you wipe your face.
    A packet of Hall Defense Lozenges in Cherry with Zinc and Echinacea.

      Facial wipes (or baby wipes) come in handy. So true!

    The Coleman Palmetto Sleeping Bags. We had those when we moved across country, slept in them in six states while wind whipped and coyotes howled. Lost them to a slobbering Mastiff named Jerry when we lived in California. He also liked them…
