There are several travelers:  those who pack their entire closet and those who take only the essentials.  But somehow, both kinds end up wishing they had traveled lighter.   

As most of us know… its nearly impossible to head anywhere with simply a passport and toothbrush (til now).  So, we’ve come up with some solutions for you!

The Diapering Attaché – Traveling with a baby?  This accessory creates a stylish way to carry diapering essentials without the bulk of a traditional diaper bag.  It features three pockets, closes easily and comes with a coordinating changing pad.  Talk about traveling with comfort, efficiency and style! 

 

Zuca – Embarking on a weekend getaway?  Get a Zuca!   A perfect accessory for those on the go, the Zuca is the ultimate carry-all — lightweight, great for organizing everything you need (includes 5 removable packing pouches for clothing that are color-coded by size and stack like drawers on the inside), and even provides room to sit – which is simply wonderful when  standing in those annoying lines at the airport!

Clear® – On that note… do you hate the hassle of standing on line and going through airport security?  Get a fast pass with Clear® – a pre-screened high-tech card that allows travelers to access designated airport security fast lanes nationwide.  Find out more on how to “fly through airport security” at www.flyclear.com.
