On the Road Again: Essential Items for Busy Business Travelers

Attention: open in a new window.

Frequent flying may sound like fun but if you’re always on the road for work it can be a real grind. Personal and airport security, long layovers between flights, incessant delays and meals alone in your hotel room can compromise your health, happiness and on-the-job success. But living seamlessly out of a suitcase is increasingly becoming a science these days, with plenty of portable, business friendly products you can take with your wherever, whenever, to make sure you put your best foot forward.

	HP Mini Projector: Client presentations can be nerve-wracking, especially when you are not on your home turf. HP helps solve the problem for mobile professionals who want to make a lasting impression. The HP Notebook Projector Companion is as tiny as a deck of cards, displays Powerpoint slides, video clips or other screen demos and plugs in to any computer so you can leave your tech team at home.
	The USB Power Cube: Developed by Logiix, this USB Power Cube offers convenience and standard USB power in a compact, cube-shaped design. The mini charger features a plug design that can power up iPods, iPhones, Mp3 and USB devices and folds up when not in use. This perfect little gadget will keep gadgets alive even if you have to duck into Starbucks for an outlet.
	Belle Hop: This one-stop shop develops “travel accessories for the modern woman” including a variety of innovative and colorful security devices to ensure safety for the on-the-go traveler. The Personal Safety Alarm is a high-pitched panic button that you can keep with you at all times and activate if you find yourself in a dangerous situation. Or if you are terrified of trespassers breaking into your hotel room you can use the Travel Safety Alarm which works the same way but gets activated by breaking and entering motion.
	PlaneWrap: Why compromise hygiene when you can shield yourself from dirt, germs and other contagious pests that may be following the same itinerary as you? Disposable FeetWraps can be slipped on the minute your shoes come off so you don’t have to walk through through security barefoot. Even better, full on coverage is also available with the SeatWrap and SleepWrap which slip over your airplane seat or hotel room sheets, separating you from the previous passenger and the bed bugs that may be waiting for you.
