Ever been able to communicate effectively while on holiday. Well the Lingo translator could be a big help.
This amazing little gizmo comes with 320,000 words and 32,000 phrases that will enable you to chatter away in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
It also includes a large two-line display is easy to read, and the slim, compact case fits easily in your purse or shirt pocket. Features include a databank (with password), currency converter, metric converter, world time clock, alarm, and 12-digit calculator.
Retails for around $50 (£100).
DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis has been exposed as a major problem. Cramped seats and long flights can be a bad combination. Personally, I like to take half an aspirin before a flight to give some protection. On top of this I should really be wearing a pair of men’s support socks.
These support socks are medically recommended for flight swelling and DVT - and they retail for £10 ($20). Not much for some piece of mind.
Getting a bit of shut eye on a flight can be the difference between a good start to your holiday, and a bad start.
A decent eye mask costs as little as £10 ($20), but can help promote deep sleep. This particular design is moulded to allow complete eye movement. You might look like a bit of an idiot wearing these - but who will have the last laugh when you exit your flight fresh as paint….
If you’re like me - you probably leave the weight of luggage in the lap of the gods. Then you get hit for some sort extortionate flight penalty baggage charge.
Well no more. I’m going to buy myself some travel luggage scales that will at least give me some idea of the weight I’m packing.
Travel luggage scales aren’t even that expensive. These beauties retail for a very reasonable £10 ($20) and can take weights of up to 24 kgs (74 lbs).
