With these inflatable travel weights, you just fill them with water to adjust the weight. The dumbbell set includes two handgrips and eight water chambers.

Sometimes the handiest travel product can be a simple one, and that’s really the case with the splitter.  It’s small, and takes up no room at all, and it can come in handy in lots of different ways.

Amazon’s Kindle is my new favorite travel product.  I received on a couple weeks ago as sort of an early birthday gift, and in just that short of time have grown to totally love it!

It looks just like it does in the photo, weighing in at 10.3 ounces (lighter and thinner than most paperback books), with a six inch diagonal screen.  It easily fits …read more
