Before I left for Australia, I owned several heavy winter coats but no lightweight jackets for cool mornings, windy days, and the rain. The North Face Triclimate jacket caught my eye, and the moment I tried it on, I knew it would be a great permanent addition to my packing list.

Items I own and have never packed
Between the items I bought for myself for my trip and the ones that were given to me, there are a few that never made it into my suitcase or carry-on bag. Which ones? Read on…
Tempurpedic Travel NeckPillow Review
Though I once called it a luxury item as it’s not your typical item to pack and takes up valuable space, this pillow is actually a necessity for me. It offers proper alignment and comfortable support while I sleep and minimizes pain on trips.
Meet Dina Koudys and Her Eagle Creek Explorer Women’s Fit LT
This post is part of a series in which ladies on the road offer a review of their backpack. Today’s review is from Dina Koudys who has traveled around the world with her husband Ryan.

ExOfficio Women’s Nio Amphi Pant Review
I recently received a pair of ExOfficio’s Nio Amphi pants and was looking forward to wearing them for my trip from Washington Dulles to London Heathrow. I’ve worn them for several days since the flight and with the exception of a few minor details, I am extremely pleased with my new pair of pants!
Rick Steves Micronet Travel Towel Review
When I first started traveling, I never thought about packing my own towel! I knew that the hostels I had booked in Australia either offered them for free or for a small fee. Why would I pack a regular bath towel in my suitcase?! During that first trip to Australia in 2006, I quickly learned [...]
