Many good products were mentioned on the sites that I used to prepare for this trip.

However, I also love trying new things that have been recommended to me by friends and family so I thought I would pass some of that information along to you. 

You may think a few of the items mentioned unnecessary but keep in mind that I come from a family of gadget lovers, so I always like to try things out for myself.

Feel free to contact me with any suggestions or tips that you wish to pass along.
