For the Road Warrior... - a list by hwilson

About this list:

Traveling on business is a skill developed through time, perseverance, and learning how and when to take shortcuts that can keep you sane. This list is comprised of some of the little tricks that I've learned over the years. I hope I can save you a little stress, keep a few lines off your face, and the gray hairs from finding their way on your head. Stow your tray table, bring your seat back to its upright and locked position - and enjoy your travels!

Qualifications:

You kidding? I have more flight miles than I can remember!

Cole Haan Air Ventura Sport Ox Shoes

First to recommend

Description

I really love my Cole Haan Air Ventura Sport Ox shoes. In fact, Cole Haan has always been one of my favorite shoe brands. And, the brand got even better (in my eyes) when Phil Knight bought the company and decided to use the technology from his other shoe company, Nike. I've owned a pair of Air Ventura's for a few years and they are very versatile, look great in most environments, and shine up in a flash. (via Cole Haan)

Zenergize Immunity

First to recommend

Description

Zenergize Immunity is a new line of wellness beverages. The best way to think of their "Immunity" flavor is a new and improved version of the Airborne cold supplement. Zenergize has more punch, better flavor, and no artificial sweetners. It not only tastes great, but it will either keep you healthy or help you to get back on your feet. A 32 serving case costs about $12, which also makes it a better value than Airborne. Zenergize and stay healthy!

HP 17B II+ Financial Calculator

First to recommend

Description

HP has been the King of Calculators for as long as I can remember. Well, ever since HP dethroned Texas Instruments as the primary manufacturer and marketer of calculators. The HP 12C is the classic workhorse calculator for anyone in either securities analysis or financial analysis. I preferred the old HP 17 B-II because you could use it in either RPN or algebraic mode. But, the HP 17 B-II+ is the worthy heir to the throne as a great workhorse business and finance calculator.

Rock on, Nerds!

Starbucks Concord Tumbler

First to recommend

Description

I'm lucky, in that I don't have much of a commute. But, I drink a lot of Starbucks, so I bought one of these tumblers to do a little toward saving the world's trees. It's virtually indestructible and it keeps my coffee really warm. Go ahead - buy a tumbler and save a tree!

You Bar - Custom Made Nutrition Bars

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Back in the day, a lot of investors were getting excited about a concept called, Mass Customization. In some ways, Starbucks delivered, but few others have pulled it off. Now, You Bar is giving us the ability to make a custom nutrition bar. So, I can dream up my own formulation and they will make my bar for me. This is so cool.

Like Reggie Jackson back in the 70s. Now, we can all have our own nutrition bars with You Bar.

Very cool!

SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Titanium Flash Drive

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

The SanDisk 4 GB Cruzer Titanium is quite a bargain. If you're a PC person running Vista, this memory stick can augment the RAM that's available to your computer. In this case adding 4 gigs of RAM would be a huge improvement for most PC's. The Cruzer Titanium is also very tough - it's got a metal case and a convertible nub that pulls inside the metal case for protection.

YUBZ Retro Bluetooth Handset

First to recommend

Description

I love my iPhone, but it's not the easiest to hold when you're on a long business call. To save my co-workers (from me having to talk loud) and my hand (from holding the iPhone near my ear for 45+ minutes at a time), I bought a YUBZ Retro Bluetooth handset - it's perfect.

The YUBZ also has a lot of new modern features like: a mute switch for the ring tone, 5 hours talk-time, 160 hours standby, last number redial, voice dialing, volume control and it uses Bluetooth version 2.0. Now, my iPhone is perfect! :-)

Norelco 8060X Cool Skin Razor

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Okay, I admit spending $150 on an electric razor is not something that you do everyday. But, I'm willing to invest a little more for an excellent product. And, the Norelco 8060X Cool Skin Razor is an excellent product. I think I've owned every generation of this product as they've improved it over time. The addition of the built in Nivea After Shave dispenser was the best innovation. It really gives me confidence that as I shave my skin is being protected while I get a very close shave. Kudos to Norelco for making a great product!

BottleWise Wine Bag

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I don't fly with wine very often (this bag was developed for flying with wine), but I have been known to have a picnic in the middle of a nice hike. With the BottleWise Wine Bag, you can relax knowing that your wine will be safe and secure as you trudge along over hill and dale. A great gift for the wine lover among your friends or in your family.Why didn't I think of this product??
