Six Affordable, Grab & Go Must Haves for Summer Put you in Charge
Kensington Computer Products Group, a worldwide leader in mobile computing accessories, offers a wide variety of products to keep you connected wherever your journey takes you this summer travel season. Kensington's smart made simple™ accessories are with you every step of your vacation -- from charging your iPhone on airplanes, to boosting your GPS volume in the car and packing your mobile devices safely on foot.
A recent 2010 USA Today report1 indicates that travel professionals are ready to declare an end to the era of the stay-at-home vacation. With this increase in tourism, and to help travelers make the most of their summer vacations, Kensington offers the following smart tips and products for fun and safe journeys:
- Get rid of the drain - Pack backup power that will work within any environment, as your travel takes you through hotels, rental cars, airplanes, trains, and nature scenes. Look for products that will charge many items simultaneously, such as a laptop, smartphone, e-reader, MP3 player, or digital camera.
- Expect the unexpected - Don't leave home without your survival kit in case your tour guide takes a detour for a longer than planned trip! Bring water, snacks, GPS or maps, a mobile phone, a battery pack to stay fully powered, and a comfortable bag to pack it all in on your journey.
- It's not the destination. It's the journey - Take a stand against "staycations." Summer travel can be fun and affordable, just by leaving your neighborhood and visiting local lakes for a swim or mountains for a hike. Take your loved ones, a camera, and iPod or other mobile device for a day trip just miles away to make new summer memories.
- Only bring what you can carry - There's no point in packing your life away for a week's vacation, especially if your items won't be coming with you outside of a hotel. Try to bring only the essentials to save space and lighten your load, such as accessories to keep your personal technology safe and fully charged.
