      when traveling abroad.
         I thought this
      summer, when everyone is busy traveling, I would give
      you some recommendation on essential items I also have
      on the top of my priority list to pack before heading out
      on a vacation. When planning travel for my clients we
      always review these items before any of them head to the
      airport. Of course, every trip is different and things like
      luggage and documents will be different, but hopefully
      this information will be a help to you.
         Item  #1.  When it comes to traveling anywhere
      internationally, there’s no single device that’s more
      important to me than taking a good universal travel
      adapter. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to plug
      a  hair dryer into an outlet that’s not compatible with
      USA electric requirements. Either on a cruise or  in a
      hotel, I carry an adapter that will fit a variety of ports
      and will work in most countries. Make sure you get one
      that handles both USB-C port and USB ports and one
      universal AC socket. It would also be wise to find one
      with enough power to charge up to five devices at once.
      This way I’m able to charge my phone, laptop and AirPods
      at once overnight. There’s no better feeling than waking
      up to a morning of travel or exploration and realizing all
      your devices are fully charged and ready to go.
         Item #2. AirPods, or a good set of noise-cancelling
      headphones, are a given for my flight travel. I learned
      early on that a device to dent the sounds of airplane
      engines could be a lifesaver for anyone’s comfort level.
      Also, the quality of music and video watching on a laptop
      or digital tablet can be greatly enhanced with a Bluetooth   Scott Cohen is Here to Help!
