If you had to give others a list of just a few things they must carry with them when they travel, what would be on that list? Here are some essentials that should be in every suitcase.
FLASHLIGHT A handy item to have in case of a power failure at your hotel.
CLOTHESPINS Who hasn’t had to wash out a few things, then leave them drying on the line during a trip?
FOLDABLE HAT A noncrushable hat doesn’t take up much luggage space and can be worn anywhere, whether you’re at the beach or on safari.
TRENCHCOAT In any city setting, a trench coat always looks smart and appropriate.
POWDERED GATORADE Mix with water and you have a good emergency go-to beverage to keep you from getting dehydrated.
