Planning a vacation is exciting. Nothing will ruin your travels whether they are to exotic lands, or the next state, than being unprepared and forgetting important elements to keep things moving smoothly. Here is a list of 10 purchases you can make that will make your trip more enjoyable.
1) Current Consistency
If you are planning a trip out of the country you need to be aware of the fact that not all locations use the same electrical current and your appliances such as hair dryers, curling irons, alarm clocks, and even phone chargers may not work with the existing outlets. You can buy a simple adapter that will allow your existing appliances to work in any situation.
2) Travel Freezer
If you are planning a long road trip this is a great addition to your car, truck or RV. There are many sizes of freezers from stand up units that can fit in an RV to units designed to fit on the seat of a car or truck to keep foods and drinks cold for the duration of the trip. There are two types: plug right into your automobile cigarette lighter, or even better operate on their own 12- volt battery power so they do not drain your car battery.
3) Cookware
Eating out on vacations is one of the biggest expenses and you can cut a lot of your costs buy bringing cooking appliances along on the trip. Various methods of cooking are excellent for hotel rooms and items like crock pots, toaster ovens, blenders, and coffee pots are easily carried and make complete meals. If you purchase 12-volt battery operated appliances you can cook at campgrounds as well as motels, or travel to countries with a different current with your appliances.
4) DVD Players and Televisions
Carrying your own entertainment will help ensure you have a relaxing vacation regardless of whether the hotel has cable access or if there is anything on worth watching. It will also keep your family entertained while you drive if you purchase 12-volt units that will operate anywhere, anytime under their own power. You can watch DVDs at a campground too.
5) Travel Mugs
For the coffee lovers on the go there's no beating heated travel mugs that operate on a 12-volt battery charger. They keep your steamy liquids toasty warm and the coffee, tea or hot chocolate flowing.
6) Electric Blankets
Especially useful for cool nights on the campground or in your RV bring along electric blankets that run on 12-volt batteries to keep you warm.
7) Jumper Cables and Batteries
Nothing will stall a vacation faster than a dead battery in your car. Keep a set of jumper cables and a 12-volt battery charger in your car trunk, pickup bed, or RV to make sure you are never stranded.
8) Travel Alarms
Don't rely on hotel wake up calls to keep you from missing important scheduled events. Whether your trip is for business or pleasure a travel alarm will keep you on time.
9) Bluetooth
Having your cell phone equipped with a Bluetooth device will allow you to continue communications on the road, or anywhere you want to be able to talk hands free.
10) GPS
Getting lost is probably the biggest headache you can experience on a road trip and with today's technology it is completely unnecessary. Even if your car, truck, or RV does not come equipped with a GPS device they are easy to buy and simple to install. You'll never mess with cumbersome maps again and you will always be heading in the right direction.
