Anyway, we either fly and then drive or just drive so my favorite gadget is my GPS. It sure helps me get places quickly and securely…do not know how I ever got along without it!
pillow.kindle & ipod……I’m in heaven
I’ve never had a GPS, so I’d have to say my ipod. I take it with me everywhere anyways, so I’d say it’s a pretty good travel tool.
I WOULD LOVE AN IPOD OR GPS. BUT THE GRAND KIDS ALWAYS NEED ONE MORE THAN ME..WHEN TRAVELING BY PLANE, I ALWAYS TAKE MY BLANKET, PILLOW AND A GOOD BOOK.
I need my Bible always when I travel. It is the best companion I have
I use my GPS whenever I travel. It makes finding the place I need to go quicker and easier.

Must have a good book and my laptop
I can check in with work, emails and facebook
I cannot live without my laptop!!
I would like an ipod especiallly when I travel.
A GPS has saved us countless hours of frustration finding a destination. What a lifesaver! I also do Trip packs from AAA to help pass time traveling. If driving a CD book sometimes helps keep me from being bored.
Travelling by land, sea or air always need my bood of puzzles and a good book to read.
i am lost without my celphone (its a 3gs iphone). phone numbers and addresses are a must specially when i travel. gotta keep track of the business, of my emails, and facebook updates. keeps me amused too with the games . its one of mankind’s best invention, ever
My favorite thing I could use is a GPS,I had one and gave it to a friend living on the main land as a gift. Ford Motor Company gave it to me as a gift, when we were living on Maui, Hawaii, who needs a GPS when living On a small island. I did not then but do now. I live back on the mainland
I have to have my Ipod while traveling. But seeing as my dog thought my Ipod would taste good.(Most of the time it does not work, due to the teeth marks in it.) Once we get to our destination a GPS is always useful, especially if your in unknown territory.
Never travel without a book, my gps, and my ipod!
I would love an ipod or a GPS. My GPS is not up to date but an ipod would be most helpful since it can do what a GPS would also do and even more.
I love to take AAA Travel Guides on our trips so I can plan interesting routes on the way to our destinations. When driving with others, one person can read out loud about some of the highlights of some of the small towns you pass through! Whether it is a hot air balloon festival, a winery, a town with murals painted on alot of their buildings, or an interesting museum– you can see a lot more of America that is not usually mentioned by travel agents and it makes traveling more fun and adventurous! The AAA Travel Guides also have information about beaches and State Parks, fees, fishing licenses, bus routes, campgrounds, accommodations available, rest areas and detailed information such as admission fees or hours of operation for popular travel destinations.

No question about it….my Kindle! Have book…will travel…anywhere!
I like to travel with a currency exchange gadget. Don’t have to do any pesky math. Invaluable to me, in countries that don’t have the almighty dollar, of course.
When we travel by plane I have to have a good book to read. Travelling by car it is my GPS.
I have to have an ipod, it is so great to listen to the ipod when I am traveling to take my mind off the long journey ahead and the noises all around me…..and just listen to what I want too hear.
Pensacola Beach FL is a great spring vacation place. Having a GPS with is the best gadget for me. Can easily find the good places.
I have to have my Kindle when I travel. I can keep up on newspapers, magazines and books while I travel. All I need to go my Kindle is a latte’ and then life is good.
Since we do such long airplane trips, the gadget I can’t do without is my inflatable pillow. You can fill it to your comfort zone and then pack it flat. It takes up no room whatsoever!
