suitcase, like George Clooney in the movie </span><em><span style="font-size: 13px; ">Up in the Air</span></em></span><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-size: 13px; ">. But choosing and packing the right tools for your
suitcase will make your travel better. Whether an occasional trip or on a
frequent flyer program, your travel does not need more than five essential
items in your packing list. Traveling light and easy, especially in a business
travel, can help you to avoid checking in a bag, even in extended trips. </span><span style="font-size: 13px; "><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-size: 13px; ">The essentials of traveling
have morphed from earlier days. The difference now is the difference between a
cassette and an iPod. With people’s pace growing faster day-by-day, it is
essential to get your things organized before your trip, whether day or
extended. So, here are the five essentials that you definitely need in your
trip, which will take care of your business, hunger, boredom, and your social
life.</span></span></p>

Whether on social
network with friends or interacting with your client, connectivity is
important. You can have laptops, and smartphones, but if you cannot get
connected to an Internet when you are traveling, these are pretty much useless.
That’s where a MiFi will save your day. It is a small portable wireless device
that combines the functions of a modem, router and access point. In short, it
lets you stay connected. A MiFi can even bring down your hotel Internet
expenses, and imagine you never ever have to wait in line for the connection at
Starbucks.</span></span></span></span></span></p>

Magazines, in fact, are handy tools during travel. While a business magazine
lets you stay focused on your work and what’s happening in the business world
around you, a magazine like Maxim lets you take the heat off and relax. If you
are a frequent traveler, you can even get </span><a href="http://www.subscription.com"><span style="font-size: 13px; ">magazine
subscriptions</span></a><span style="font-size: 13px; "> for a magazine of your choice to kill the boredom that any
travel may impose on you.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="/images/old/6a00e5537d966288330120a96a8cbe970b-800wi.jpg" rel="lightbox" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Upair2" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e5537d966288330120a96a8cbe970b " src="/images/old/6a00e5537d966288330120a96a8cbe970b-500wi.jpg" style="width: 480px; " /></a> <br /><a href="/images/old/6a00e5537d966288330120a96a8d1b970b-800wi.jpg" rel="lightbox" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Upair3" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e5537d966288330120a96a8d1b970b " src="/images/old/6a00e5537d966288330120a96a8d1b970b-500wi.jpg" style="width: 480px; " /></a> <br />

Whether on a long flight or in a business meeting turned hectic, a protein bar
can give you energy until you spot your next meal. Protein bars are healthy
snacks that will also help you to stay away from junk foods.</span><span style="font-size: 13px; "><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-size: 18px; "><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 15px; "><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><strong><span style="font-size: 13px; ">Boost your energy</span></strong></span><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-size: 13px; ">: Take a cup of coffee and add to it Vitamin B3, B6,
B12, folic acid, sodium, and a medley of energy blends like berry, lime,
orange, citrus, grape and pomegranate, and no added sugar. What do you get: A
concoction of high energy. Constant traveling can upset your body rhythm and
sleep patterns. If you don’t want to sleep during the meeting, a 5-Hour Energy
flavored drink is what you need. This can of energy will boost you up without
the sugar crash later.</span></span></span></span></span></p>

yourself? A club, perhaps! And, how will you find one in a new place? With a
GPS, of course. A GPS will keep you headed in the right direction, whether
looking for a local restaurant, or a hotel to sleep, or the gas station.</span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-size: 13px; ">So if you are a biz traveler
and you have packed your essential business and social tools, rest assured that
you will never be out of touch, never go hungry, and never get stressed. Happy
traveling.<span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 22px; ">&#0160;</span></span></span></p>
