People ask me what I pack in my carry-on when I hit the friendly skies. Here’s the list… ---------------- LO & SONS BAGS: The O.G.2 carry-on is lightweight. There’s helpful pockets to carry all your items, even a place for shoes. I love the back panel sleeve that slips over the suitcase handle! Another Lo & Sons bag is the Rowledge backpack. It's stylish look with leather handles make it perfect to use as a purse when traveling. Like the O.G.2, it has numerous interior pockets to keep items organized. ----------------- PILLOW & BLANKET: Airlines do not offer these in coach class. ----------------- VAPUR: Bottled water is a no-no through security. This Vapur can be rolled up empty and fastened with its clip onto your carry-on. Once through TSA you fill it with one liter of H2O. ----------------- JEWELRY ROLL: I like to carry my jewelry with me, so I pack it in this travel jewelry roll that doesn’t take much room. ---------------- PASSPORT: When traveling outside of the country.

Contact your service provider and ask them to add the international roaming feature. Give them the dates you’ll be traveling and the destination. I have AT&T. The cost is $12 a day, plus $6 for each additional line used on the same day. Worth every penny for the ease of using the phone as I would at home. Or, SIMO Solis Mobile Hotspot keeps you connected around the world, and
