Chic Travel Essentials {For 24 Hr Flights!}

We’re leaving on Tuesday and I’ve not packed, finished shopping for everything I need — mostly because I’ve not organized my thoughts and edited down anything –but I have narrowed down the basic essentials I’ll need to keep me connected. I already know I’ll be working, which kind of sucks, but if you only knew!  But even I were going to be spoil myself and completely disconnect, these goodies will make not the only my day-by-day much easier, but the grueling 24 hour flight as well. 

The thought of that kind of time glued to single seat is unappealing and daunting! So I needed to pick up some things to make the trip entertaining 

I’ve been eyeing these fabulous red Beats by Dr. Dre since they came out. I’ve been using them for 3 days now and can’t think of a better time to use have gotten them.  I don’t want to hear crying babies so I appreciate the superb sound cancellation. And they’re red. And they don’t tangle! And they fit anywhere.  But, I did fall in love with these black Sony’s but they’re just too bulky for traveling. Otherwise they’re a swanky option for anytime. 

Electric adapters are a must… blowdryers, flatirons, laptops, cells, etc… will need some recharging. A 4 pack of varying ones will cover every needs. A  mini bluetooth speaker is one my new toys I have to have. Just have to. Same for the small battery back to keep all my mobile devices and cameras charged while I’m out sight-seeing and wining/dining. Nothing like batteries failing while you’re in front of the perfect picture moment. 

Then there’s the iPad case for light packing. I have a few I love but this one is great because of the built-in keyboard, also wireless and its durable stand (though has to be on a sturdy surface — nothing too glossy) for remote ergonomic working. And it’s blue, an unusual color choice for me, but it’s a really rich blue. 

The passport and biz cards (love my Moos)… well, you simply can’t leave the country without. I had a few other things in mind just for fun. The air hokey game for my iPad will keep sis and I totally consumed and far from getting on each others nerves. That should be fun! 

Ooh wee! Now getting excited. Only if I could get this packing done… oh, but I have some of my beauty and makeup essentials to share with you also! That’ll be on Tuesday.
