    • My Tech Travel EssentialsI am headed on a coastal California trip with my dog this week and I am in the process of packing my bags. When go on vacation, I try my hardest to disconnect from everything. (That’s why I am on vacation, right?) But there are some tech items that I have to keep in my travel arsenal at all times.

    I’ve rounded up a few of the products I think would be great for any journey, including a great Design Sponge tech DIY project. From chargers to alarm clocks, these items are compact and travel-friendly.

      Oops, in the first section you have #3 and #6 listed as the wrong numbers. ;)
      Awesome list, though! Thanks!

      The Universal Adapter is perfect for my trip next year. Thanks for posting this! Lots of great ideas.

      Hmm, the wood tripod weighs well over 10 pounds and costs $400. How is that remotely practical and travel friendly?

      This is a terrible list. It is not list of tech items, but how trendy you can be with wooden accessories and wasting money. Why have a Iphone, Ipad and an alarm clock, pretty sure my phone and tablet has one built in.
