Cool Travel Gadgets

The Trace Me luggage tag is imprinted with a scanable bar code that’s unique to you. If your bag is found by an airline employee (or by a good Samaritan in cases your bag really goes astray) the finder can either scan your bar code or type your identifying number into the Trace Me website. You’ll then get a text message and/or email informing you where your bag is.

The PocketFinder is a device that will keep track of your bag’s location via GPS. Simply activate the PocketFinder, charge its batteries (they last for a week) and then place the tiny device someplace in your bag where it won’t fall out. You’ll be able to see exactly where your bag is using an internet-connected computer or a smartphone like an Apple iPhone or BlackBerry. Unlike Trace Me (above) there is a monthly fee for PocketFinder’s service.

Tugo Rolling Luggage Drink Holder

Trying to make your way through an airport with a rolling suitcase and a handheld bag and a cup of coffee? With the Tugo you need not attempt a potentially coffee-spilling juggling act. This little rubber item straddles the pull poles of your rolling bag and provides a secure holder there for your coffee cup or travel water bottle.
Out of the box the rubber Tugo tends to be a little stiff; loosen it up and it will hold your drink perpendicular to the ground no matter how the angle of your rolling bag changes.
