Relax for a moment while I tell you a short story. I once traveled across the country for a friend’s wedding. When I got to my hotel room, I unpacked and saw that despite my best efforts — i.e., folding and unfolding everything no less than 12 different times — the outfit I planned to wear was full of wrinkles. I took out the iron and ironing board from the hotel closet, set both up, and started to iron. Wouldn’t you know it? The iron had some kind of gross yellow sediment in the water reservoir, and it ruined my dress the moment I touched it.
That, my dear friends, is why I always pack my Steamfast SF-717 Mini Steam Iron AND my Masteam Steamer for Clothes anytime I travel anywhere.
Those are two things that I learned the hard way never to travel without, but there are several other travel essentials you should always remember to pack. Among them is a good lint roller like the Scotch-Brite Lint Roller, which is especially necessary if you have any pets. I can’t tell you how much dog hair I have to roll off my clothes even if they’re freshly washed.
Unless you sleep like a rock, it’s also always a good idea to pack earplugs like Mack’s Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs. Hotel walls can sometimes be paper-thin and the last thing you want is for excessive noise to keep you awake all night when you’ve got a busy day planned that starts bright and early in the morning. And speaking of noise, pick up the awesome TaoTronics TT-BH047 Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones while they’re on sale for just $25.99 (coupon code HDQX5Z9Y) to drown out all the noise on the airplane or the train.
