I’m pretty confident that I can identify my own luggage at the baggage claim carousel; it’s all the other idiots I’m worried about. The last thing I need is some 70 year old woman riffling though my knickknacks for 2 days before she figures out she took the wrong suitcase home.
It doesn’t help that everyone seemed to have purchased the same black roller suitcase; which I bought first God Damn It!  Oh well, I don’t have to worry now that I have the Q-Man Luggage Tag by NuOp Design.  Everyone makes mistakes, they just won’t be making them on my bags.  

Are you so weight conscious that you need to carry a scale everywhere you go?  If you are, you might as well trim down the extra weight you’re lugging by getting yourself the Travelon Personal Travel Scale.  Weighing in at less than one pound, this mini travel scale is lightweight and tiny; measuring only 8.6×6 inches when closed.  The digital readout displays kilograms or pounds and the two ends slide together for convenient packing.  After you pick up your very own travel scale you might also want to pick up a good nutritionist and psychologist.

*Warning, this product is not recommended for travel outside the Earth.

Ever wonder where Poseidon kicks it after a long day?  Considering he can’t leave the water and that he’s make-believe, I’d say nowhere near the Red Sea Star Underwater Restaurant. 

The Red Sea Star is the first underwater Restaurant and Bar.  It’s located in the busy tourist destination of Eilat, which is Israel’s southernmost city. The underwater eatery is only 5m (16 ft.) below the surface of the Red Sea (on the Gulf of Eilat), so there’s no need for a decompression chamber, and there’s plenty of natural light to “sea” the beautiful corals and marine life.  The ocean inspired decor offers an enchanting environment that is dually suitable for romance or children.  With sea cucumber columns and jellyfish chairs it’s difficult to abate a tacky atmosphere, but with sandy floors covered with clear epoxy and a variety of exotic dishes the Red Sea Star pulled it off.

Do you want to do more with a foreign language than just memorize words and phases? 

I’ve been playing around with Rosetta Stone for a couple weeks now, and it really is the best tool I’ve ever seen for learning a new language.  With 31 languages, the programs focus on immersion with no translation. 
Basically, it’s a more organized and highly accelerated scenario of being dropped off in a foreign country; your brain connects words with images to learn naturally without memorization.

The best things about air travel are the awesome lines at security and the spacious seating situation once on board, although now airlines are charging all kinds of extra fee’s for baggage, so that’s super cool as well. 
The TraveLite Luggage Scale is a lightweight, compact and durable, handheld scale used to ward off the ugly overage fee’s at check-in; no more balancing awkwardly on the bathroom scale.  The digital readout quickly tells you the weight of your bag and if you’re dyslexic, a green light will indicate a weight under 50 pounds while a red light means get rid of some more stuff.
The device even has a built-in LED flashlight, so you can justify traveling with it.

If you enjoy vomiting and explosive diarrhea, by all means don’t use the SteriPen Traveler on your next adventure. 

The Traveler is half the size of the SteriPEN Classic with the same great attributes.  The convenient pocket sized gadget purifies water by way of an ultraviolet light.  The UV kills 99.9 percent of protozoa while simultaneously turning you into a super hero upon consumption of the radioactive H2O*. 

The SteriPen has been proven to protect against common microbes such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia as well as pathogens that cause Hepatitis and Legionnaires disease.  This is the perfect travel companion to “at risk” water countries or long camping trips. 

Also look for the SteriPen Adventurer with the Solar Charging Case.  This item is not recommended for individuals seeking to contract Cholera, Botulism, or sound travel habits.

*The UV light doesn’t actually alter the water aside from protecting you against various microbes, pathogens and germs, i.e. you will not gain super powers.
