Tips / Travel

Carry-on and personal item space is notoriously limited, but savvy travelers can make the most of their luggage space, especially with the help of the electronic gadgets below, which are small enough to fit in your carry-on and necessary when you’re in a tech jam.

 

Slim Portable Charger

If the aircraft you’re flying in isn’t outfitted with personal USB or electrical outlets at every seat, this little device is crucial for helping you get through a long flight. Find a slim one that can slip into your personal item for easy access so you don’t have to get out of your seat.

 

Solar-Powered Charger

If you have a lot of outdoor time planned, consider investing in a solar-powered phone charger. Some are about the size of a smartphone and can tuck easily into a daypack.

 

A Universal Plug Adapter

International travelers will need a plug adapter, but rather than purchasing a bulky, box-style ,all-in-one adapter, look for one that has only the plug you need for your destination, allowing you to save space in your bag as well as money spent on plugs you don’t need.

 

Mobile Hotspot

To save money on a global phone data plan, pack a small mobile hotspot device to equip yourself with WiFi wherever you may need it.

What to Do During a Trip to Morro Bay, California

No, it’s not Monterey Bay. We’re talking Morro Bay, California, located about a 2.5-hour drive to the south, about halfway between San Jose and Los Angeles. A quieter destination, Morro Bay offers plenty for the outdoor adventurer to enjoy.
