G.I. Style Sewing Kit by Rothco

First to recommend

Description

This is a compact sewing kit with everything you need for quick repairs while you are traveling. I think the army got it right and this kit is modeled after what a soldier would get. I like it a lot and it is really useful. (via Rothco)

Minimus Air Travel Essentials

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is a great air travel kit. It has a bunch of stuff you'd probably forget if they didn't pack it all for you. I especially love the Shout wipes (which work remarkably well) and the mini roll of duct tape (because you just never know - great for patching a torn bag or suitcase in a pinch - from experience). It is compact and useful. (via Amazon)

The Travel Book: A Journey Through Every Country in the World: Roz Hopkins,Janet Austin,Laetitia Clapton: Books

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is a great guide. It is quick and easy to leaf through - a good coffee table book- but it also has really practical, useful knowledge for planning a trip to one of the many destinations. It is a good way to skim through and get an overview of the places you are thinking about traveling before you set in stone where you are going.
