Tech travel checklist: Don't leave home without these essential accessories - ZDNet
Before you hit the road for business travel or to head home for the holidays, be sure to pack the accessories you'll need to stay powered up, productive, and entertained.
Each year, I spend more time than I'd care to think about on the road, typically spending a total of at least six weeks in hotel rooms, conference centers, and friends' homes. And airports. Lots of airports.
Even if you're not a frequent business traveler, chances are you spend a fair amount of time away from the comforts of your home and office. That's especially true during the holidays when going home to visit friends and families sometimes involves weather-related delays that can keep you on the road for longer than you expect.
Under those conditions, technology isn't just a convenience, it's a lifeline. Your smartphone is a scheduler, a vault for e-tickets and boarding passes, a GPS with up-to-date maps and turn-by-turn navigation, a portal for email and text messages, and (oh, right!) a voice communication device. It's also a camera, a music player, a source of instant news, and an on-demand miniature gaming console.
