Conveniences - for anywhere under the sun

Here is a list of the best inventions for the travel enthusiast! This is all the convenient inventions to help you get there, make your stay comfortable, and keep costs as low as possible!

#1 - Sat Nav

Although a little more on the costly side of things, it's the most convenient invention for anyone driving long distance or short, simply input a postcode and your favourite driving music and off you go! Download the latest updates to ensure you get there without hassle - no more Google maps with missing roundabouts...

#2 - Balanzza
The digital luggage scale
www.balanzza.co.uk

Ok, so you can probably get cheaper versions on Amazon or Ebay, but the idea can't be beaten. Simple and easy to use, with no more umming and ahhing over if it's just too heavy! Save yourself the cost of a kilo and invest in this little treasure for any traveller.

#3 - www.holidayweather.com
For keeping tabs on where's hot and where's not

I've used it, and now you will too, and all your friends when you pass on the knowledge. Desperate for some off peak heat? Check up on this website for average temperatures, sea temperatures and rainfall predictions for any holiday resort, any month of the year.

#4 - Mini's

For ladies who like to look good on the go! Invest in mini moisturisers, shampoos, conditioners, hair spray, you can get hold of anything you can think off to keep you looking and smelling beautiful, and they are cute too! They take up less luggage space and are perfect for weekends away. Even the lads - if they aren't too shy to shop for them, will find mini antiperspirants, shaving creams and toothpaste tubes.

#5 - Portable stove

More for the adventurous types, they are great for camping, walking, or fishing holidays. When you need a quick cuppa' or fancy some food just insert a mini gas canister and watch it self ignite.

#6 - Travel earplugs

A pre-flight precaution for anyone who needs to ease pressure on their ears during take off or landing. Ear pain is one of the top causes of discomfort while flying. You can buy them at many chemists and airports, or can even get them custom made if you have left enough time before you travel.

#7 - Signal search travel locks

Signal search travel locks are for those who like to keep their luggage safe while avoiding interference with security screenings. They can be opened by any TSA screeners without damaging your lock or suitcase. You can also tell if it has been opened during it's airport transfer when you collect your suitcase after a flight.

#8 - In car entertainment
including portable DVD players, in car tvs and hand held game consoles

All of which are great for boys who get bored on extensive car journeys! And for ladies occupying the passenger seat (who have their men in order!) may find them better than a book or latest gossip mag. Again a little more expensive but I'm sure these will all be lad's buys that you can borrow from time to time.

#9 - Wheely suitcases

They've been around forever but are a must! And perfect when going away with the girls, don't make a mess of your image by shuffling aimlessly towards your hotel with a suitcase that's too heavy for you.

#10 - Funky passport covers

Travel in style with a fashionable passport cover, available in various styles from various companies and suitable for both men and women. From black and slick to pink and girly - there's something to suit everyone and certainly something to suit you.
